Introduction

The cross and crucified life is the essence of day to day Christian living, this prayer accepts the call of the crucified life.  This prayer for serious disciples is based on Philippians 1:18-30. If  it ministered to you, then be sure to share it with a friend.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, make me so dead to self and so embracing of the cross that I have no shame on judgement day in how I handled difficulty, self-denial, persecution, misunderstanding, sacrifice, suffering and the burdens of life and ministry. May the crucified life develop in me an unshakable fortitude.  By Your empowerment, I will face Jesus with confidence knowing that I embraced His cross and the call to deny myself. I will walk in the blessing that You freely give, but I will also walk through this life carrying the cross of Christ. Let my unwavering fortitude and relentless commitment to Your purposes be a sign to the world that the gospel is true, and that they must repent. May my abandonment to Jesus attract people to Him. Also birth within the church this same commitment. Make us a world-wide community of sold-out saints. Birth this grace within me and within the church in Jesus name, amen.

Philippians 1:18f-30

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.  For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.  If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!  I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.  Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.  Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
