Kingdom Prayers Exemplo

God who sees the heart, do not let me rest until my heart is blameless before You—not simply in a legal sense, but as a day-to-day expression of my life. Do not let me settle for being born of the Spirit; help me press on to be filled with Him, attentive to His inclinations, and walking in Him.

Let me not be content with professing belief if I am not demonstrating that belief by an obedient life of faith in good works and service. Let my sincerity be demonstrated through horror at the thought of offending You, concern to know Your will, and willingness to deny myself for Your sake.

May nothing within or outside me cause me to grieve You, be blind to Your glory, offend Your children, turn me from Your instructions, or forget Your promises. Do not allow my earthly activities to damage my spiritual life or let my earthly concerns eclipse my spiritual concerns.

Do not permit anything to overshadow the one thing I need—to be in Your presence. Instead, give me a heart that is attentive to You, sensitive to Your guidance, responsive to Your correction, and quick to respond to Your direction. Teach me the art of abiding in You so that I might be in the world as Your instrument but not of it.

Purify my heart so that You reign supreme in every thought and motive. Be glorified in me and through me by being my only desire. Allow my pursuit of knowing You more intimately inspire others to do the same. Let the result be greater glory to You as sinners turn to follow You and saints are drawn to pursue You more intently.

Omnipotence 

Lord, the enormity of Your strength is limitless, the enormity of Your power beyond reckoning. Your boundless greatness defies description and Your consummate glory transcends comprehension. Your authority is ineffable and Your rule is unequivocal. Omnipotent God, everything that exists and happens is under Your sovereign control, so You work all things after the counsel of Your will. I can rest completely in the knowledge that You are capable and trustworthy to bring about righteous perfection with mercy and love. When I don’t see any hope of straightening what has been bent, of restoring what has been twisted, I know You can make all things new.

I do not understand why You choose to limit Yourself by working through weak people, but in Your wisdom, You exercise restraint and so demonstrate Your amazing ability to work even through weakness. Develop in me a confidence in Your inscrutable way of showing Your power through frailty. Teach me to be gentle as You are, patient with those who are struggling. Instruct me in showing meekness and humility to the feeble and compassion to the needy. Thank You for dealing with me in this way, in Your grace and mercy. Help me treat others as You have treated me.
