Isaiah 45:9-10 New King James Version
9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’? 10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’ Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’ ”
     Jesus, shape me for your purposes.

Ephesians 6:13 New King James Version
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
     Holy Spirit, help us recognize the evil we encounter for what it is.

Matthew 6:7 New King James Version
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
     Father, help me pray with simplicity of heart and mind.

Luke 22:31 New King James Version
31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
     Lord Jesus, this is a time of sifting, please pray for us.

Luke 9:51 New King James Version
51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,
     Jesus, help us also be steadfast in going forward to the duty you have laid on us.

Acts 25:10-11 New King James Version
10 So Paul said, “I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. 11 For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
     Holy Spirit, show us when it is appropriate to "appeal to Caesar" and when it is right to place our whole confidence in what Jesus will do for us.

Psalm 81:8-9 New King James Version
8 “Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! 9 There shall be no foreign god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
     LORD, help us banish all other gods from among us and worship you only.

Daniel 7:13-14 New King James Version
13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
     Jesus, Son of Man, come among us with your grace and truth.

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 New King James Version
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify[a] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
     Amen.
