Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Creator of all things visible and invisible, I come before You with a humble heart and a yearning soul, seeking Your holy presence.
O Lord, You are a paragon of purity and perfection. Your holiness is resplendent, transcending the heavens and the earth. I fervently pray, Lord, that You cleanse my heart from all impurities, kindle in me a longing for holiness, and transform my life into an embodiment of Your love and goodness.
Gracious God, I acknowledge that on my own, I am but a flawed creature, filled with imperfections. However, I also believe in Your divine power to renew and restore. Inspire me, Lord, with Your Holy Spirit, and sanctify me, that I may mirror Your holiness in my thoughts, words, and actions every day.
Acknowledging my own weaknesses, I beseech You, o Mighty One, to grace me with the strength to resist temptations and the wisdom to choose Your ways over worldly desires. May your divine holiness permeate every part of my life, guiding me along the narrow way to Your kingdom, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
