10 Strong Prayer from the Bible
1. Prayer for Growth in Grace and Knowledge (2 Peter 3:18)
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, asking that You help me grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lord, I desire to know You more deeply, to walk in Your truth, and to be transformed daily into the likeness of Christ. As David prayed, “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name” (Psalm 86:11). Let my life reflect Your glory, and may my thoughts, words, and actions be rooted in Your wisdom.

Let Your Spirit guide me into all truth, and may I never grow weary in pursuing You. Strengthen me to resist distractions and worldly temptations, and help me to abide in Your presence continually. May my soul thirst for You as the deer pants for streams of water (Psalm 42:1), and may my growth in grace bring honor to Your holy name.
2. Prayer for Strength in the Inner Man (Ephesians 3:16)
Father, I thank You for the gift of Your Spirit who strengthens me in my inner man. Lord, I confess that without You, I am weak, but with You, I am strong.

Let me declare with the psalmist, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13). Strengthen me to believe even when circumstances seem impossible, and help me to encourage others with the faith You have given me. May my faith bring glory to Your name and draw others closer to You.
4. Prayer for the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23)
Gracious Lord, I ask that You fill me with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Let these virtues be evident in my life, that others may see Christ in me. Your Word says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). Transform my heart, Lord, so that I may bear fruit that glorifies You.

As the psalmist declared, “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon” (Psalm 92:12). May my life flourish in Your Spirit.
