PRAYER-FOR-CHRISTIAN-GRACES::byJosephAlleine
This following picture is from a short prayer in a version of Joseph Alleine's book called "admonition to unconverted sinners" which doesn't have the "short soliloquy for an unregenerate sinner" in it & another repentance prayer, but it has a whole added section titled "prayers for families."
A Prayer to receive continual Anointed Graces: ——REV:22:21. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes in me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” JOHN14:12: By His indwelling us in His NOW GLORIFIED BODY: REV1:13-16, for it is He that does the works in us: AS HIS GLORIOUS FATHER DID THE WORKS IN HIM. JOHN14:10.) ——-Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
———HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! Who is, and was, and is to come; REV.4:8. Who is a God like unto You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? EX15:11, You are the blessed and only Potentate, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who Only has immortality; dwelling in that light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen Or can see. 1TIM.6:15-16, You are a God at hand and a God afar off; none can hide himself in secret places that you cannot see him ; for You fill heaven and earth; JER23:23-24. Your eyes are in every place, beholding the evil and the good: PROV15:3. You search the heart, and try the reins; JER.17:10. even the thoughts and intents of the heart HEB4:12, are naked and open before thee. HEB.4:13.
———I know, O Lord, that You can do everything; JOB42:2, power belongs to You, PSALM62:11, and with You nothing is impossible: MATT.17:20, what You have promised, You are able also to perform. ROM.4:21. You are good, and do good; PSALM119:68, good to all, and Your tender mercy is over all Your works: PSALM145:9. O that You would cause Your goodness to pass before me, EX.33:19, that I may taste and see that the Lord is good, PSALM34:8, and have his loving-kindness always before mine eyes. PSALM 26:3.
———- O my God, I am ashamed, and blush to lift up my face before You, my God; for mine iniquities are increased over my head, and my trespass is grown up unto the heavens; EZRA9:6, behold I am vile, what shall I answer You? I will lay my hand upon my mouth, JOB40:4, and put my mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope; LAM3:29, crying-out unclean! unclean! LEV13:45. If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me ; if I say I am perfect, that also shall prove me perverse; JOB9:20, for if You contend with me, I am not able to answer You for one in a thousand. JOB9:3. Behold I was shaped in wickedness and in sin did my mother conceive me; PSALM51:5, for who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? JOB14:4. My understanding is dark, being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in me, because of the blindness of my heart. EPH.4:18.
————- I have within me a carnal mind, which is enmity against God; ROM8:7, my neck has been as an iron sinew, ISAIAH48:4, and I have made my heart as an adamant; ZEC7:12, I have refused to hearken, have pulled away the shoulder, and stopped my ears ZEC7:11, like the deaf adder. PSALM58:4. O how have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof? PROV5:12. I have forgotten God, DEU.32:18, lived as without God in the world; EPH.2:12, my heart has walked after vanity and become vain: JER.2:5, I have set my affections on things beneath, COL.3:2, have followed after lying vanities, JONAH2:8, and forsaken my own mercies; ISA.54:7, have forsaken the fountain of living waters, for cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water; JER2:13. There is in me a bent to backslide from the living God; HOS.11:7. My heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, JER.17:9, it starts aside like a broken bow: PSALM78:57. The whole head is sick, the whole heart faint; from the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in me, but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores. ISA.1:5-6.
———— Lord, I come to You as the poor publican, and I pray his prayer: JER3:22, God be merciful to me a sinner; LUKE18:13. The God of infinite mercy be merciful to me. PSALM103:17. O wash me thoroughly from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my sin; for I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. PSA.51:2-3, O purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow; PSA.51:7. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. PSA.51:9. Let me be justified freely by thy grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus; ROM3:24. Take away all iniquity, and receive me graciously; HOS.14:2, heal my back-sliding and love me freely; and let thy anger be turned away from me; HOS.14:4, for in You the fatherless find mercy. HOS.14:3. I will say unto God do not condemn me, JOB10:2, but deliver me from going down into the pit, for You have found the ransom. JOB33:24. I have sinned, Father, against heaven and before You, and am no more worthy to be called Your son; LUKE15:21, but I have an advocate with You: Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for my sins. 1JOHN2:1-2. Lord remember the true David, 2TIM.2:8, and all his troubles; PSA.132:1, remember all his offerings, and accept his burnt sacrifice; PSA.20:3, and turn not away the face of Your anointed, 2CH.6:42, who by his own blood is entered into heaven itself, HEB.9:12, now to appear in the presence of God for man. HEB.9:24. Remember the covenant in his blood, ZEC.9:11, and be merciful to mine unrighteousness, and my sins and my iniquities remember no more. HEB.8:12.
———— Let me be justified by faith, and have peace with God through Jesus Christ; and through him let me have access into that grace wherein believers stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ROM.5:1-2. O make me hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which sin hath broken may rejoice. PSA.51:8/ISA.59:2. Let the blood of Christ speak better things than that of Abel: HEB.12:24, let it speak pardon ISA.40:2, and peace to my soul; PSA.55:18, let it purge my conscience from dead works to serve the living God. HEB.9:14. Let thy Spirit witness with my spirit that I am a child of God, an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ: ROM.8:16-17. Say to my soul that You are my salvation. PSA.35:3.
———— Lord, give me a wise and an understanding heart; 1KING3:12, that which I know not teach You to me; HEB.8:11, let the Spirit of truth guide me into all truth, JOHN16:13, and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. JOB6:24. Make Your way plain before my face, because of mine observers, PSA.27:11, and by the teaching of Your Word and Spirit make me wise to salvation. 2TIM.3:15. Unto me, Lord, let it be given to believe, PHI.1:29, for the faith by which I am saved is not of myself, it is the gift of God; EPH.2:8. Lord, increase my faith, LUKE17:5, and perfect what is lacking in it, 1TH.3:10, that I may be strong in faith, giving glory to God. ROM.4:20. Let every word of Yours profit me, being mixed with faith; HEB.4:2, and enable me to look above the things that are seen, which are temporary, to the things that are unseen, which are eternal. 2COR.4:18. Let my heart be purified by faith, ACTS15:9, and enable me, 1TIM.1:12, by faith to overcome the world, 1JOHN5:4, to resist the adversary, 1PET.5:9, and to live continually upon Jesus, 1COR.9:14, drawing out of his fulness grace for grace. JOHN1:16.
————- Unite my heart to fear Your name, PSA.86:11, that I may keep Your commandments. 1JOHN5:2. O put thy fear into my heart, that I may never depart from thee; PROV.28:14, let me be in the fear of the Lord all the day long; PROV.23:17. Deliver me from all slavish fear that has torment, and give me an affectionate fear, 1JOHN4:18/PSA.19:9; that I may never wilfully offend against You any more. HEB.10:26. Give me grace, I beseech You, EPH.1:6, to love You the Lord my God with all my heart and soul, and mind and strength; DEU.6:5/MATT.22:37, to delight myself always in You, and therein shall I have the desire of my heart. PSA.37:4. - O circumcise my heart to love You, that I may live; DEU.30:6. O may the love of God be shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost. ROM.5:5. O that Jesus Christ may be very precious to me, as he is to all that believe; 2PET.1:1, that he may be in my account the chiefest of ten thousand, SONG5:10, and altogether lovely; SONG5:16. And though I have not seen him, yet may I love him, and by believing in him may rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. 1PET.1:8. Let the love of Christ to me, constrain me to live, not to myself, but to Him that died for me and rose again. 2COR.5:14-15. Lord put Upon me that charity which is the bond of perfectness, COL.3:14, that I may keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, EPH.4:3, and may live in love and peace, that the God of love and peace may be with me. 2COR.13:11. Give me to love my neighbour as myself, LEV.19:18, with that love which is the fulfilling of the law; ROM.13:10, to love him with a pure heart fervently; 1PET.1:22. Give me, O Lord, the love of the brethren, 1THESS4:9/HEB13:1, and enable me to be kindly affectioned towards them in brotherly love, ROM.12:10, that I may know I am passed from death unto life, 1JOHN3:14, and all may know I am passed from death unto life, and all may know that I am Your disciple. JOHN13:35. Lord make me able to love mine enemies, to bless them that curse: me, to pray for them that despitefully use me; MATT.5:44, forbearing them and forgiving them, COL.3:13, as I trust You, 2SAM.22:3, for Christ’s sake has forgiven me. EPH.4:32.
———— Lord, give me grace to deny myself, to take up my cross daily, and to follow Christ; LUKE9:23, to keep under the body, and to bring it into subjection. 1COR.9:27. Let me learn of Christ to be meek and lowly in heart, that I may find rest to my soul: MATT.11:29. Hide pride from me, JOB33:17, and clothe me with humility, 1PET.5:5, and put upon me the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in Your sight is of great price; 1PET.3:4. Let anger never rest in my bosom, ECC.7:9, nor the sun go down upon my wrath; EPH.4:26, but enable me to show all meekness towards all men; TIT.3:2/ZEP2:3.

———— Lord, teach me in every state to be content; let my conversation be without covetousness; may I be always content with such things as I have, HEB.13:5, still saying, “The will of the Lord be done.” ACTS21:14. Lord, give me grace to weep as though I wept not, and to rejoice as though I rejoiced not, and to buy as though I possessed not, and to use this world as not abusing it, because the time is short, and the fashion of this world passes away. 1COR.7:29-31. May the very God of peace sanctify me wholly: And I pray God my whole Spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1THESS.5:23. Let goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life; PSA.23:6, when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, be You with me that I may fear no evil; let Your rod and Your staff comfort me; PSA.23:4.
