My Prayer For the World


If it is in YOUR WILL GOD please grant my prayer…Glorious Father, God of our Lord Jesus Christ, give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know YOU better. Aid the eyes of our heart so it may be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which YOU have called us, and the riches of YOUR glorious inheritance in YOUR people, and YOUR incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength YOU exerted when YOU raised Christ from the dead and seated him at YOUR right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that can be invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. I pray that out of YOUR glorious riches YOU may strengthen us with power through YOUR Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. And I pray that we, will be rooted and established in love, and may have power, together with all the Lord's people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Finally, I pray that we will be strong in YOU Lord in YOUR mighty power. aid us in Putting on the full armor of God, so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore help us put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, we may be able to stand our ground, and after we have done everything, to stand. Aid us in standing firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around our waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, help us take up the shield of faith, with which we can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. help us take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And remind us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, Help us to be alert and always keep on praying for all of our LORD'S people. Now to YOU (GOD) who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to YOUR power FATHER that is at work within us, 21 to YOU be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! LORD illuminate your path before us so we can follow it. FATHER guard our hearts and souls; keep our minds and hearts on track to prevail against our flesh and all of the enemies attacks, and in an positive and encouraging way help us to remember to stay within the boundaries of your grace, love, mercy, and law. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight O LORD my strength and my Redeemer. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
