Praying for something new in your life can be challenging, especially figuring out where to start.
What are discipleship prayers? Discipleship prayers come in two forms: prayers for your discipleship walk and prayers for you as you disciple others. Prayers for your discipleship can include prayers to deny the flesh, take up your cross, follow Christ, and abide. A prayer for discipling others might include prayers for the nations, teaching, rebuking, faith, and relationships. Their purpose is to ask God to help you grow in these areas and to bless you as you disciple others.
I don’t always think of prayer and discipleship being closely related, however, praying for discipleship in your life is vital to your relationship with God, and fellow believers. These are some ways to get started…
5 Prayers for My Discipleship Walk
One of the areas that we can pray for is our own walk of discipleship with the Lord. As his disciples, there are several things we can be praying for as we attempt to walk out his will for us daily including prayers to deny the flesh, take up your cross, follow Christ, and abide.
1) Prayer to Deny My Flesh
Lord, you are so good to me. I don’t deserve your love and grace but I am so thankful for it. Your ways are higher than my ways and your thoughts are higher than my thoughts. Please help me submit fully to your lordship in my life. Give me the strength to resist the desires of my flesh.
Help me to deny myself, relinquish all that I have, and all that I am for you. Destroy my attachment to this world so that I can fully rely on you in every situation.
I want to develop a strong relationship with you and to be your disciple. Help me continue to pursue this goal every day, and help others do the same. I give my entire self over to you Lord. Amen.
So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.”
Luke 14:33 ESV
