“Never stop praying” (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT)
”So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:16 NLT)
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:24 NKJV)
We are going to finish our time in Paul’s prayer for the Galatians with steps 2 and 3 of our outline…
…Step 2: Personalize the prayer with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

… “Dear Father in Heaven, Daddy,
I come to you overflowing with praise and thanksgiving for those that you have brought into my life through refiretoinspire.com. There are those who have partnered with me since my first blog back in 2021 and have added greatly to my joy. I am able to pray for them with great faith knowing that you are working in them and will complete what you have started. I am also praying in faith on behalf of those you are adding daily. I am confident that the seeds that are being planted will grow and come to full maturity. You are at work within me as well. I thank you for that. This work will continue until we see Jesus clearly for who he is and what he is doing in each of us.
I ask Father that you would continue to fill each one hearing this prayer with your love. As you do this, help us to share that love with all that we meet. Help our love for one another, and those around us, to grow and abound more and more. As this love grows may it lead us into deeper realms of spiritual insight. Reveal your truth to us as we walk in love. Help us to choose the more excellent way of your Kingdom making us pure and without offense.
Fill us with the fruits of righteousness that come from Jesus. Help us to live in his anointing as the Holy Spirit unveils him to us. The clearer we see him the more we long to be like him. All of this brings us to the place in which our thoughts, words, and actions bring praise and glory to you Father.
With praise and thanksgiving I pray this in Jesus Name.
Amen (so be it)”
…Step 3: Pray the prayer through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s pray together.
My challenge to anyone reading this is that you will allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in personalizing Paul’s prayer and pray it in faith for yourself and anyone that you are led to pray for.
Thank you Holy Spirit for…
