Prayer: Developing the Mind of Christ

Loving Father, we prayerfully come into Your presence, petitioning the power and beauty of the mind of Christ, bestowed upon us by Your Holy Spirit.  Give us strength to rise above every trial and temptation thrown our way. Shape and mold us, Lord, into true disciples of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

We hunger for You, we thirst for Your divinity. Quench us, Oh Lord, fill us with the springs of living water and develop our minds to be like Christ, to fully understand Your Word. Change our mindsets so we can become greater in You. Allow us to spread Your message across the land so it can touch, change and save the lives of many.

1 John 2:6 Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Grant us wisdom as we seek Your face. Our souls cry out and long for You. Hear our prayer, Oh Lord, have mercy upon us and answer us, for we need You right now. Change our hearts; if we are stubborn, strengthen our wills to go on, allow us to embrace Your mighty power and let Your will be done. In Jesus’ holy name we pray, Amen!

Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

Romans 12:1-2  I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
