2:  We should ask God to take our sinful hearts, and create new hearts within us.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

3:  We should ask God to fill us with the fruit of His Spirit which is:   love, joy, peace,                 longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

4: We should pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to have access to the power that           accompanies it, so that we may be able to witness to the whole world on God’s behalf.

 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8

5: We are to pray for all of mankind, for our leaders who have authority over us, so                  that we may live in peace.

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, ² for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

6: We should pray and ask for God to keep us safe, though we may be surrounded by               evil and darkness.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

And see the reward of the wicked. Psalms 91:7-8
