Daily Walking in the Spirit Prayer
Daily Prayer for Walking in the Spirit
Lord, I want to live, walk, and follow You daily. I want to walk in Your Spirit every single day of my life. I know to do that I must do the following.
Crucify My Flesh
Lord, You said in Your Word that if I wish to follow You, as Your disciple, I must deny myself by setting aside selfish interests and take up my cross daily by expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come and follow You which means believing in You, conforming to Your example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in You. I choose to deny myself and take up my cross daily and follow after You. (Luke 9:23).
I am called to walk habitually in Your Holy Spirit by seeking Him and being responsive to His guidance, and I when I do this, I will not carry out the desires of my sinful nature which responds impulsively without regard for You and Your precepts. The sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the desire of the Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these two, the sinful nature and the Spirit are in direct opposition to each other continually in conflict.
The practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident. They are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, total irresponsibility, lack of self-control, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions that promote heresies, envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I have been warned, by You Word, that if I practice such things I will not inherit the kingdom of God.
I choose to walk in the Spirit and partake of the fruit of the Spirit which is the result of Your presence within me. I will walk in the Holy Spirits love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
I belong to You, and I choose to crucify my sinful nature together with its passions and appetites. I claim to live by the Holy Spirit, so I must also walk by the Spirit with personal integrity, Godly character, and moral courage-my conduct must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:16-25) Lord, please search my heart and show me any areas that are not pleasing to You. Show me areas where I am selfish, unkind, or anything that is not pleasing to You.
I have been crucified with You. In You I have shared Your crucifixion. It is no longer I who live, but You who lives within me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting in the You, Jesus, who loved me and gave Yourself up for me. (Galatians 2:20).
Spend Time in Prayer
Lord, I am one of your sheep and I will hear Your voice and listen to You. You know Me and I choose to follow You. (John 10:27).
Father, I will spend time setting at Your feet. I will not get in a hurry, and I will not get distracted by the things of life. I will not get so busy with learning about You or doing for You that I neglect taking time to sit at Your feet. I understand the importance of setting aside time to sit at Your feet and being in Your presence just talking with You. (Luke 10:39-42).
Being Sensitive to the Holy Spirit
You, Father, sent Your Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener, and Standby, the Holy Spirit to represent Jesus and act on His behalf. The Holy Spirit will teach me all things about You, and I will follow His guidance and teaching. (John 14:25-26). Holy Spirit I seek and welcome Your guidance, teaching, truth, and correction. I daily welcome You into my life.
Your Spirit of Truth guides me into all truth, full and complete truth. He does not speak on His own initiative, but He speaks whatever He hears from You, Father. (John 16:13).
I will be careful to avoid quenching and grieving Your Holy Spirit. I will not quench subdue or be unresponsive to His working and guidance in my life. (1 Thessalonians 5:19).
I will not rebel and grieve Your Holy Spirit which because I do not want to cause Him to change into my enemy and cause Him to fight against me. (Isaiah 63:10).
Lord, I never want to be a stiff-necked and stubborn person, I do not want to be uncircumcised in heart and ears, and I never want to actively resist You, Holy Spirit. (Acts 7:51).
The rest of the prayer is posted in the comments because it would not all fit in the description.

Surrender/Obedience Jesus, even You walked in total submission to the Father. I want to follow Your example and walk in total submission to Him. I say not my will Lord, but Yours. Not my way Lord, but Yours. Not my plan Lord, but Yours. My heart and life are Yours. I will follow You. (Mark 14:35-36). My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within me, whom I have received as a gift from You God, and I am not my own property. I was bought with a price. I was actually purchased with Your precious blood Jesus, and I was made Your own through your death, burial, and resurrection. I will honor and glorify You with my body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Lord, I present my body dedicating all of myself, set apart as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to You, which is my rational, logical, and intelligent act of worship. (Romans 12:1). Reading His Word Your Word is living and active and full of power making it operative, energizing, and effective. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit which is the completeness of a person, and of both joints and marrow which are the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) I understand the power of Your Word and I will never take it lightly. Lord, You said, “It is written and forever remains written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’” (Matthew 4:4). Be Imitators of Him I will imitate You and Your character traits. I will copy You and follow Your example, as well-beloved children imitate their father. (Ephesians 5:1). As a believer I have been called to follow Your footsteps and I will do my best to follow Your example. (1 Peter 2:21). You must increase in prominence, but I must decrease. (John 3:30) I want more of You and less of me. Selfless and Not Selfish I will not do anything from selfishness or empty conceit through factional motives, or strife, but I will live with an attitude of humility being neither arrogant nor self-righteous. Lord, please help me to regard others as more important than myself. I will not merely look out for my own personal interests, but I will always consider the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4). Lord, help me to always put others first and to never get so caught up in my own life that I neglect seeing the needs of others. Lord, I understand in the last days dangerous times of great stress and trouble will come They will be difficult days that will be hard to bear. People will be lovers of self, narcissistic, self-focused, lovers of money, impelled by greed, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, and they will be unloving devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of sensual pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of outward godliness and religion although they have denied its power, but their conduct nullifies their claim of faith. I will avoid such people and keep far away from them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Father, please keep me guarded from deception and please help me to never fall into these sins. Please help me to always operate in humility and with a servant’s heart. Put Him First Jesus, You said, “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ (Matthew 22:37). I choose to put You first in everything and I will never allow anything or anyone to take Your place in my heart or life. Anyone who loves father or mother more than You is not worthy of You, and anyone who loves their son or daughter more than You is not worthy of You. And anyone who does not take up their cross by expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come and follow You by believing in You, conforming to Your example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in You is not worthy of You. Whoever finds their life in this world will eventually lose it through death, and whoever loses their life in this world for Your sake will find it. (Matthew 10:37-39). Repentance/New Heart You gave me a new heart and put a new spirit within me, and You removed the heart of stone from my flesh and gave me a heart of flesh that is caring and compassionate. (Ezekiel 36:26). Lord, help me to always keep the hardness out of my heart because I never want to return to living with a dead, cold, stone heart. Lord help me to never fall into willful ignorance and spiritual blindness that leads to hardness and insensitivity of heart. (Ephesians 4:18). Please keep my heart focused on You. If I freely admit that I have sinned and confess my sins, You are faithful and just-true to Your own nature and promises, and will forgive my sins and cleanse me continually from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). I am so thankful for your forgiveness, and I ask You to help me know every time I sin so that I can run to You in repentance. I pray all these things in the name of Jesus, Amen.
