Praying for Spiritual Growth

Father, I deeply desire to fully know the love of Christ Jesus, which surpasses knowledge so I would be filled with all Your fullness (Ephesians 3:19). With the Lord at my right hand, I choose to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). O Lord, my gracious God, please strengthen my spiritual vision that I may see You everywhere.

Thank You, Father, for showing me that as I desire and drink the sincere milk of Your Word, I will grow spiritually (1 Peter 2:2).  All scripture has been given by Your inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), and I want to live by every word that proceeds from Your mouth (Matthew 4:4).  I will study Your Word so I will never need to be ashamed, because I will know how to rightly divide Your Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). 

I rejoice, O Lord, in the promise of Your Word that tells me I will flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon, as long as I stay planted in Your Word (Psalm 92:12-13).  My delight, dearest Father, is in Your Word, and, in Your Word, I will meditate day and night (Joshua 1:8).  You assure me this will cause me to be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season and whatever I do shall prosper (Psalm 1:2-3). 

As I walk in the light of Your Word (Psalm 119:105), Father, I will meditate on Your precepts (Psalm 119:15), giving myself totally to them (1 Timothy 4:15).  As You teach me to speak the truth in love, I shall grow up into Christ in all things (Ephesians 4:15).  I pray to live a life pleasing to You in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of You (Colossians 1:10).

Thank You, Father, for helping me to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory and honor forever more.  Amen (2 Peter 3:18).
