I Am Praying To Submit My Will-Power
I Am Opening Four Doors To God
Mark 12:30 (NIV) Love the Lord your God with all your HEART and with all your SOUL
and with all your MIND and with all your STRENGTH.
I Am Opening My Strength To God
I Am Praying For The Power To Submit My Will-Power To Jesus
Jesus, empower me to be willing to take the third step into The Six Biblical Principles. Help me be willing to invite God into every aspect of my life. Help me always keep in mind that the third step is to PRAY. Since the ASK prayer through The Three Keys To All Of Christianity and the PRAYER principle that comes through The Six Biblical Principles are a major way for my will-power to connect with God, help me take advantage of them. Teach me that the hard thing for me, as a human, is to realize that I CAN’T live the Christian life. Jesus, I invite You into each thing I face during my day so You WILL get involved. Teach me that the next hard thing for me is realizing that I actually can’t live life without You. Teach me that the whole purpose for me being here is to learn how to live in the spirit realm.
Make it clear to me that learning how to live as a human is just a temporary assignment. I am simply learning this so I can use my humanity to train in as a child of God. Help me see that it is like the toys children play with, if they misunderstand and spend the rest of their lives in the playroom, they will fail at life. Show me that if I don’t use this earth and my human life to learn how to be a child of God, I will fail at life. Make it clear to me that praying, as a part of The Six Biblical Principles, is my way of bringing God and the things of the spirit realm into my life. Help me with the training manual; explain the spirit realm to me through the Bible. Then as I pray over each principle, concept, and truth, let the Bible get installed in my life. Help me grow, mature, and become an adult child of God.

I Am Submitting My Will-Power To Jesus Through Prayer
Jesus, You explained how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 NIV): This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

I Am Praying To Find Out Why I Am Here
Our Father in heaven: Jesus, make it clear to me that my true Father is in heaven; when I were born again, He gave birth to me. I am now a child of God, a member of His family, and a citizen of His Kingdom. I now have eternal life; show me this means that a billion years from now I will still be living in the spirit realm. A trillion years from now I will STILL be using what I learned and got skilled at here on earth. Teach me that having long conversations with my heavenly Father is how I get my will-power ready for eternal life.

I Am Praying To Appreciate What Is Important
Hallowed be Your name: Jesus, I started out appreciating the human life; but, help me see that, that is like prefering the caterpillar over the butterfly, that the caterpillar turns into. The butterfly has to start out as an ugly worm before it can metamorphous into a butterfly. Help me understand that I had to start out as a human before I could be transformed into a child of God. Teach me that born AGAIN means I have to be born as a human before I can be born AGAIN as God’s child. Show me that hallowed be your name means my will-power has learned how to love and appreciate my heavenly Father. I now accept the fact that He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I Am Desiring To Mature
Your kingdom come: Jesus, I have noticed how children and young people want to do adult things. They try to be older and have more responsibility than they are trained for. They push for freedoms that they are not equipt for. But, help me see that if they have good parents, those parents will REGULATE what they can do. Show me that good parents will use this young person’s deep desires in their will-power to get more opportunities to act like and live like an adult. They will put attitude and character growth in front of the young person. When they have demonstrated growth in those areas, THEN they get more opportunities and freedoms. Help me yield to this kind of good parenting from my heavenly Father.
Jesus, show me that if I am perfectly happy with where I am, then I need to pray for a better revelation of why I am here on earth. As You help me start praying for God’s Kingdom to come, let that be the moment when I and my will-power have an eternal perspective. Make me into a young child of God who just can’t hardly wait until I can start doing some adult things. As I see my heavenly Father doing such God-sized, supernatural, and miraculous things, let my will-power begin to DESIRE to grow in attitudes and character so I can be trusted with Kingdom things.

I Am Desiring God’s Way Of Life
Your will be done: Jesus, teach me that as long as my will-power is under my control, help me know that, that means I don’t understand how awesome God is. I am like a child with incredible parents; but, I think He should let me do things other parents are letting their child do. I am looking at “parents” who are horrible parents and thinking that I would love to have them as my “parents.” Help me not be like many children who don’t find out how right their parents were until they suffer from their rebellion. My human parents were children once; and later they paid for the mistakes they made. Teach me that my heavenly Father’s will for my life will produce the most wonderful, miraculous, and blessed life possible; empower me to submit my will-power to You.

I Am Sharing God’s Way Of Life
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven: Jesus, I have admired people who didn’t even believe there is a God. I allowed people who didn’t follow the Bible to teach me about relationships, moral issues, and about attitudes and character. I now allow You to convince me that God’s way is the best way so my will-power will embrace righteousness, godliness, holiness, and purity. I started out IN LOVE with the things of this world; I respected them, admired them, wanted to emulate them, and aspired to their greatest accomplishments. But, once You helped me see things through God’s eyes, I found out they are the most sinful, evil, and cruel things I can involve yourself in; let this revelation help me submit my will-power to You.

I Am Praying To Learn
Give us today our daily bread: Jesus, teach me that if I only learn how to get my human needs met through my career, my job, or my human efforts, I will fail at life. Mat 6:25 (NIV) Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Make it clear to me that I will soon be living in a world where food and clothing won’t matter much. If I don’t learn how to get my PHYSICAL needs met through God, I missed the whole point of my existence. Let using my will-power to start praying and talking with God help me understand what You meant when You said: “Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”
|
I Am Praying To Forgive
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors: Jesus, teach me that Christianity is based on one major principle. Help me see this one major principle in these Scriptures: Mat 7:12 (NIV) So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Gal 5:14 (NIV) The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 6:38 (NIV) Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Mat 6:12 (NIV) Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Make it clear that God treats me based on how I treat others. Let me use this major principle to help me submit my will-power to You.

I Am Praying Against Bait, Lures, And Traps
And lead us not into temptation: Jesus empower me to learn how horrible sin is. Let that training help me be able to use my will-power to apply The Six Biblical Principles to being set free from it. Help me always know that my heavenly Father knew what He was doing when He labelled various things as sins. Show me that He demonstrated His love for me when He put all that information about it in my Bible. Show me that He demonstrated His love for me when He sent Jesus to die in my place. Show me that He demonstrated His love for me when He accepted Jesus’ death as my death to all the sins I have, are, and will commit. Show me that He demonstrated His love for me when He put the Holy Spirit inside me to give me the power to put to death the misdeeds of my body (Rom 8:13). Let this truth help me submit my will-power to You.

I Am Praying To Be Victorious Over Satan
Deliver us from the evil one: Jesus, show me that it is a journey from liking, enjoying, pursuing, and living in sin, to living in righteousness. Help me see that my will-power has to be changed before I can give it all up. Teach me that, that is what salvation and justification did for me. Rom 7:22 (NIV) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law. Teach me that my will-power is in my spirit; help me understand that Romans 7:15-25 is dealing with my will-power that was transformed to HATE sin and LOVE righteousness. BUT, now let me learn how to live as a child of God. Help me learn how to use my spiritual equipment just like I learned how to use my body’s equipment.
