PRAYER FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I do not always walk as closely with You as I should. Forgive me for all the times when I became distracted by worldly obligations and pursuits. Forgive me for the times that I have detoured off the right path on to various pathways of sin. Forgive me for the times I have allowed myself to be trapped by the snares of men or the enemy because I did not walk in wisdom. Forgive me for all the times I fell too far behind Christ and got lost. Forgive me for not walking in Your ways. Forgive me for the times my heart and desires where on the things of the world instead of on my walk with Christ. Forgive me of the times I walked with wicked people and became a partaker of their sins when I should have been walking with Christ. Forgive me of all the times I did not live up to Your holy standards. Forgive me of all the times I did not walk in love and show that Christian love towards others. Forgive me of all the times I did not walk in integrity and uprightness. Forgive me of all my disobedient ways and rebelliousness. Forgive me for the times I was lead astray by false doctrines or heretical teachings. Forgive me for all the times I have left the path of righteousness to walk in darkness.
Heavenly Father, forgive me and cleanse me of all my sins and help me to walk with Christ. Help me to walk in wisdom so I can avoid all dark and wicked paths. Help me to walk in the light of Christ so I will not stumble in the darkness. Take away from me all stubbornness and rebelliousness so I can walk in obedience. Help me to play by the rules that You have established and to always use Your word as my rule book and road map. Help me to walk in love, the way Christ did, that I may show others that same kindness, compassion, mercy, and self-sacrifice that He did. Help me to be honest and upright in everything I do.
Heavenly Father forgive me of all my sins, cleanse me and sanctify me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to walk in the Spirit so I can be successful in my walk with Christ. Help me to walk in the Spirit so I can be victorious over the flesh, the world, and the devil. Help me to walk in the Spirit so that the love of God can be perfected in me and so that the fruit of the Spirit will be manifested in my life. Help me to walk in the Spirit so I can live in holiness and be an overcomer. I desire to walk in the Spirit so I can crucify all my fleshly affections and desires. Help me to walk in the Spirit so I can successfully walk in all the ways of God. Help me to walk in the Spirit so I can use my spiritual gifts to bless and edify the body of Christ and glorify You. I ask all these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom our victory is made possible, amen
