GATES & CAPACITY

Guard Me as You Increase Me

A prayer for character, discernment, humility, boundaries, and obedience as God increases spiritual capacity and responsibility.

Father, in the name of Jesus, as You enlarge me, guard me.

Do not allow greater revelation to produce pride.

Do not allow greater authority to produce arrogance.

Do not allow greater responsibility to cause me to neglect Your presence.

Do not allow spiritual gifts to become substitutes for spiritual character.

Do not allow increased influence to give the wrong people increased access to my heart.

As my capacity increases, increase my boundaries.

As my assignment increases, increase my discernment.

As my influence increases, increase my humility.

As spiritual warfare increases, increase my endurance.

As opportunities increase, increase my ability to hear Your yes and Your no.

I understand that everything available to me is not assigned to me.

Guard my eyes from what I should not behold.

Guard my ears from what I should not receive.

Guard my mouth from what I should not release.

Guard my mind from what I should not entertain.

Guard my heart from what I should not allow to take root.

Guard my body and hands from what I should not participate in.

Guard my feet from where I should not go.

And Holy Ghost, fill every area that I have surrendered to You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
