Prayer about Holiness
Introduction
Prayer is a valuable tool in our spiritual journey. It’s our direct line of communication with God, where we can express our thoughts, feelings and desires, and also hear from Him. Prayer invites God into our lives and allows us to understand His will for us. Especially when we are focusing on seeking holiness, prayer is the tool that binds us to God and helps us mirror His holy nature.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I come before You today with a heart yearning for holiness. I ask Your guidance, Father, as I strive to live a life that reflects Your holy nature. Grant me the strength and wisdom to turn from sin and pursue righteousness.
You have called me to live holy, to separate myself from the world and to centre my life around You, Father. I pray that Your Holy Spirit guides my thoughts, words and actions so that they may be pleasing to You.
I yearn for Your divine touch, Lord, cleanse me and make me whole. Refine me in Your holy fire, and let me be pure as gold. May my life be a testament to Your holiness, a beacon shining brightly in the darkness, guiding others towards You.
Thank You for Your grace and mercy that even in my imperfections, You see me as holy through Christ Jesus. May I find joy in journeying towards holiness, knowing that I am becoming more and more like You each day, Father.
In Your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Conclusion
Praying for holiness draws us closer to God’s heart. It aligns our actions, thoughts, and words with His divine standards.
