Praying through Romans 4:2

Heavenly Father, thank You that like Abraham I have been justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my God and my Saviour. Thank You that I am accepted in Christ and have been declared righteous - not because of what I have done, but because of trusting in what Christ did on the Cross for me. May my life become a living testimony to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ to everyone I meet, and may all I do, be done to the glory of God. In Jesus' name I pray, and for His greater glory, AMEN.

“For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.”
(Romans 4:2)

Praying through Romans 4:4

Heavenly Father, thank You that my salvation does not depend on what I have done but on what I believe. Thank You that I am not saved by what I do, but by what Christ has done on my account. Thank You that I am saved by grace through faith in the death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ. May I also live every day of my life by grace through faith and may my prideful self remain nailed to the Cross, as the indwelling life of Christ works through me, to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.”

Praying through Romans 4:5

Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You that You have credited me with Christ’s righteousness, by faith in His finished work. I confess that all my works are as filthy rags in Your pure eyes, and there is nothing that I could do to warrant the imputed righteousness of Christ. Thank You that my salvation does not rely on my good works, nor my ability to keep rules and regulations. It is dependent on faith alone in Christ alone, and that by faith in His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection, I have been credited as righteous through time and into eternity. Help me, I pray, to walk in spirit and truth, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

Praying through Romans 4:6

Heavenly Father, thank You that salvation is not a complicated issue, but simply a matter of faith in Your Word, believing the truth of Scripture, and looking to Jesus, the true and living Word Who died and rose again so that all who believe on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You that I am justified in Your eyes, by grace through faith in Christ, and that as I grow in grace and in a knowledge of Him, I am being sanctified, day by day, and being changed into the image and likeness of Christ, as I die to self and live for Him. I rejoice with Abraham, David, and all the saints who have gone before me, for we are all blessed beyond measure. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.

“Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,”

Praying through Romans 4:7

Heavenly Father, thank You for the truth in Romans that we are not justified by what we do, but in Whom we believe. Thank You for what Jesus did for me on the Cross, when He bore my sins and carried my iniquity on His sinless shoulders. Thank You that all my lawless deeds have been forgiven, past, present, and future, and that by faith in Him I am born anew, (initial justification), and have been placed into eternal union with Christ Jesus my Saviour, and am positionally justified. Keep me from thinking that works of the Law are required either for my initial salvation, or my ongoing sanctification. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient, and I pray that I may work the works of God that You have prepared for me to do, in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and for your eternal praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”

Praying through Romans 4:8

Heavenly Father, thank You for my great salvation. How blessed I am that I am no longer part of the old creation in Adam, but a member of the New Creation in Christ. Thank You that I have been imputed with His perfect righteousness. Lord, I know that my righteousness is not conditioned on a righteousness according to rules and regulations, but is founded on faith in the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You that my sin will never be taken into account because Jesus was judged at the Cross on my account and I have been declared righteous before You. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN.

“Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.”

Praying through Romans 4:9

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are no respecter of persons, and that You stooped down to save the whole world, Jew and Gentile alike, from our sins, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You for the wonderful examples throughout Your Word, that repeatedly demonstrate that salvation is through faith in the death and Resurrection of Christ, and that I am imputed with His righteousness and indwelt by His Spirit, by grace through faith. May the new resurrection life of Christ in me glorify You, in thought, word, and deed. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.”
