Prayer for Fruitfulness in 2008

Col 1:9-11 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may have a walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
 

FATHER, I DESIRE TO BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR WILL FOR MY LIFE, AND TO WALK IN A WAY THAT IS WORTHY OF YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL CALLING IN MY LIFE. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SAVED ME SO THAT I MIGHT BE FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK. IT IS ONLY BY ABIDING IN YOU, BY STAYING CONNECTED TO YOU THAT I CAN BEAR FRUIT.

LORD, THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF ANOTHER YEAR. I DESIRE THAT THIS BE A YEAR OF INCREASED FRUITFULNESS. FORGIVE ME, FATHER, FOR ALLOWING PATTERNS OF BARRENNESS IN MY LIFE, IN MY WORSHIP, IN MY RELATIONSHIPS. LORD, BARRENNESS IS A CURSE, AND YOU DIED ON THE CROSS TO BREAK THE CURSE, SO I MIGHT RECEIVE AND WALK IN THE BLESSING. I INVITE YOU TO HAVE RIGHT OF WAY IN MY LIFE. I OPEN MYSELF TO YOUR LOVING AND EXPERT HAND TO PRUNE AREAS IN MY LIFE THAT HINDER FRUITFULNESS. I COMMIT MYSELF TO ABIDE IN YOU, TO DELIGHT MYSELF IN YOUR WORD, AND TO MEDITATE IN IT DAY AND NIGHT, TO LOVE OTHERS AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME.

LORD, YOU SAID, "IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE, AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." I ASK, THEN, FOR THE RELEASE OF YOUR FRUITFULNESS, WHAT IS CALLED THE 'INCREASE OF GOD,' IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE. MAY I DELIBERATELY CULTIVATE THOSE AREAS OF MY LIFE AND WALK WITH YOU. I ASK THAT BY MORE FRUIT YOU WOULD BE GLORIFIED IN MY LIFE AS NEVER BEFORE, AND BY FAITH, I GIVE YOU THE PRAISE AND THE GLORY. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
