The Spirit Of Prayer

“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
2 Peter 3 v 13
Lord, may Your Spirit help me daily
To watch and wait for Your word;
To seek Your will;
To study the sacred Scriptures, gaining wisdom and truth;
To plumb the depths of meaning, by praying;
To draw closer to Jesus, the Healer Redeemer;
To make Him my way through life;
To pray so as to highly honour You;
To pray with repentance and see godly results;
To pray and offer joyful worship;

“We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”
2 Peter 3 v 13
Lord, may Your Spirit help me daily
To watch and wait for Your word;
To seek Your will;
To study the sacred Scriptures, gaining wisdom and truth;
To plumb the depths of meaning, by praying;
To draw closer to Jesus, the Healer Redeemer;
To make Him my way through life;
To pray so as to highly honour You;
To pray with repentance and see godly results;
To pray and offer joyful worship;
To live a life fully pleasing to You, because I turn to Jesus;
To offer my service to the best of my ability;
To rejoice in Your love for us;
To share this with others;
To live out the good news of hope found in Jesus;
To proclaim You are with us in Jesus;
To let the message of Christmas really sink in;
2 Peter 3 v 18 “To grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”


“To Him be the glory now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3 v 18


“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom
we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1 v 13


All thanks ever be declared, expressed in our worship of You, holy Father, through Jesus as based on

Lord, keep us praying in the Spirit, that our faith is strengthened to work towards these blessings.
All thanks and praise be to You, for the marvellous, indescribable gift of Your love manifest in Jesus, the
truth Your Spirit presents before us as fact, as reality, as a link between heaven and earth, as an eternal
promise in which we can fully rejoice.
For You so loved the world as to gift us Your only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in
Jesus, may not be lost to Your love, but may enjoy Your eternal company in heaven. How truly marvellous is
this honour! Let us ever express our praises loudly, joyfully.
Psalm 106 v 1 “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” We learn this
as we pray and turn to Jesus. “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has
v 2 redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” “O GOD, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and Psalm 108 v 1 give
