To walk in the Holiness of God we must have pure hearts. 2 Chronicles 16:9a reads, “ For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” David pleaded, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10 KJV) Then Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8 KJV) What condition is your heart in today? Solemnly think about it as you pray this prayer…
Dear Heavenly Father, You are a holy God and I desire to be holy too. Set apart unto You, and living my life in a manner that is worthy of You and pleasing to You.
Search my heart I pray, and if there is any cherished sin lurking within, I ask that You would search it out and destroy it, for I know that only the one that has clean hands and a pure heart may stand in Your presence.
Purify my heart, cleanse my inner thoughts, and examine the very motives behind my acts and attitudes, for I desire to live in holiness of heart. If there is anything that is displeasing to You in my life, I ask that in Your grace You would root it out, so that I may live in godly holiness all the days of my life, clothed in Christ’s righteousness, separated unto You and walking in godly love. This I ask in Jesus’ name,
Prayer from Knowing Jesus.
