Prayer based on Philippians 3

Lord God, we rejoice in You. Thank You for the gift of Your Spirit. We have no confidence in our own flesh. We have no boast in our own obedience. Our gain is not in these things, but in Christ, our Lord! Our righteousness is through faith in Christ. We long to know Him more and more, and we long for the resurrection from the dead. We belong to You, O God. Move us forward toward the goal of the glory that is before us. Help us to hold to the truth that we profess. The danger of sin is everywhere around us, and even within us. Keep us living in the resurrection way by the power of Jesus Christ.
