Sample Prayers
Love
Father I ask You to fill me with a deep love for You. Grant that my love for You be passionate and not lukewarm. Please fill me with Your powerful love for things that further Your Kingdom. Fill me with a burning love for serving You. Baptize me with a selfless, compassionate love for my family and for those I meet each day. God, by the power of Your Spirit, please fill my heart with Your powerful love.
Joy
Lord, I believe You to fill me with a supernatural joy that is unspeakable and full of glory. Show me how I fail to rejoice and give praise at all times.
Peace
Lord, I trust You to fill me with Your perfect peace that passes understanding and guards my heart and mind. Show me how I am choosing to worry and fret instead of trusting You.
Longsuffering
Lord, I believe You to fill me with the powerful ability to wait on You and calmly endure hardships. In what way am I impatient or complaining?
Gentleness
Lord, I trust You to fill me with a kind and gracious attitude toward others. Show me how I have been harsh or unkind to others.
Goodness
Lord, I believe You to fill me with a generous attitude that is always looking to help others. Please show me how I have been selfish and oblivious to the needs of others.
Faith
Lord, I trust You to fill me with powerful mountain-moving faith. Fill me with steadfastness. Lord, show me how I have doubted You.
Meekness
Lord, please fill me with genuine humility, brokenness and a repentant, obedient spirit. Show me how I have been proud or arrogant.
Temperance
Lord, please fill me with self-control and discipline. Please show me how I have been undisciplined, careless, or indulgent in any area of my life.
