A Prayer for the Fulfillment of God's Promises

Let's pray that the promises God made may be fulfilled - the promise He made in Eden, the promise He made to Abraham and the promise He made to King David:
 
You are God
The One True God
The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph and King David
 
You made promises to those who came before us
Promising a land, a great nation and an everlasting Kingdom
Your promises always come true
No one can change Your promises
 
We pray to receive the realization of Your promises
That we may live in the land You promised
That we may become the great nation You promised
That through us, the everlasting Kingdom You promised may be established
 
You made Your promises in Eden, to Abraham and to King David
We pray that You may fulfill Your promises through us
That we may receive the fulfillment of Your promises
That through us Your promises may be fulfilled
 
In Eden You Promised:

"... And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3:15, NIV)

Help us crush the head of the quality of selfishness
That we may no longer be in the quality that separates us from You
Help us change our qualities from selfishness to love of others
Seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves
 
Help us change our ways so that we may be reunited with You
So that we may live with You in the Kingdom of God
 
We pray that Your promise may come true through us
That through us Your promise may be fulfilled
That by changing our qualities from selfishness to love of others
We may realize what You promised in Eden
And that Your promise may be fulfilled
 
To Abraham You Promised:
 
"Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation ... and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12: 1-3, NIV)
 
"I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God (ELOHIM) and the God (ELOHIM) of your descendants after you." (Genesis 17:7, NIV)

Show us the land that you promised Abraham
The land that is the quality of love of others
Take us out of this land that we are currently living in
This land that is the quality of selfishness
 
Help us change our qualities from selfishness to love of others
So that we may seek to benefit others instead of ourselves
So that we may live in Your land
The land that You will show us
 
Make us into a great nation
A people united in righteousness and holiness
United in the quality of love of others
Seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves
 
Bless all the people on earth
With the quality of love of others
Unite us in this common quality
The quality of the Kingdom of God
 
Establish Your everlasting covenant with us
Your covenant that is based on the quality of love of others
You will be our God and we will be Your people
And we will dwell in Your Kingdom, the Kingdom of God
In the quality of love of others
 
We pray that Your promise may come true through us
That through us Your promise may be fulfilled
That by changing our qualities from selfishness to love of others
We may realize what You promised Abraham
And that Your promise may be fulfilled
 
To King David You Promised:
 
"Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever." (2 Samuel 7:16, NIV)
 
Help us change our qualities from selfishness to love of others
Seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves
So that we may live in the house and the kingdom that you promised David
That by changing our qualities from selfishness to love of others
We may enter into Your House, the House of God
And live in Your Kingdom, The Kingdom of God
 
Help us change our nature from selfishness to love of others
So that through us, David's throne may be established forever
So that we may live in the Kingdom of God, in the Family of God
In the quality of love of others
 
We pray that Your promise may come true through us
That through us Your promise may be fulfilled
That by changing our qualities from selfishness to love of others
We may realize what You promised David
And that Your promise may be fulfilled
