What More on My Prayer List?

 

What more? Scripture.

I can’t go wrong taking my prayers straight from Bible.

 

For example (from Ephesians 3:16-19):

Father God, strengthen them with the Holy Spirit’s power. Jesus Christ, dwell in their hearts. May they be rooted and grounded in your love. Show them how wide and long and high and deep your love is. Fill them with the fullness of your presence.

What’s on My 2022 Prayer List?

Last week we covered who’s on my prayer list (everyone) and when I should pray (all the time). We looked at a couple items on my list: to live peaceful lives and avoid temptation.

What else?

Let’s start with what is all too often my prayer of last resort:

Your will be done.

It’s never, ever wrong.

One More Name on My 2022 Prayer List

 

My prayer list is incomplete without one more name.

Mine.

 

Matthew 26:41 (ESV)
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

1 Peter 5:8 (AMPC)
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.

Lord, keep me balanced, vigilant and cautious. Show me when to stand strong and when to run the other way. May I be willing — flesh and spirit.
