FATHER, fill ____ with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Guide (him/her) in (his/her) walk so that (he/she) may fully please You. May everyone see the fruit of the SPIRIT spilling forth in all (his/her) work. Increase (his/her) knowledge of You; strengthen (him/her) with power for all endurance and patience with joy (Col 1:9-11).

CHRIST, Your work on Calvary was for the goal of presenting Your followers holy and blameless and above reproach to Your FATHER (Col 1:22). I pray that ____ be humble and pliable so You, LORD, can do Your work. Teach ____LORD, to rightly handle the word of truth so (he/she) is approved by You and has no need to be ashamed (2 Tim 2:15).

Also, help ____ entertain a deeper commitment to CHRIST. You say in Your Word, “’If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23 ESV). I know this is desperately hard and must be paid attention to constantly, but Your SPIRIT provides more than enough help. Aid ____ in such a way that (he/she) finds CHRIST’s yoke easy (Matt 11:28- 30). LORD, remind (him/her) to daily ask for Your SPIRIT to lead (him/her) (Luke 11:13).
