From Prayer 8 of C. H. Spurgeon’s Pulpit Prayers
We adore Thee because Thou art holy and we love Thee for Thine infinite perfection. For now, we sigh and cry after holiness ourselves. Sanctify us wholly, spirit, soul, and body. Lord, we mourn over the sins of our past life and our present shortcomings. We bless Thee Thou hast forgiven us. We are reconciled to Thee by the death of Thy Son. There are many who know that they have been washed and that He that beareth away sin has borne their sin away. These are they who now cry to Thee to be delivered from the power of sin, to be delivered from the power of temptation without, but especially from indwelling sin within.
Listen as we pray along with Spurgeon, this prayer for holiness…
Praying for the People of God from the Word of God
Proverbs 25:4, 5, 14 - Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you art the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. ... The secret of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
O Lord, make us, teach us, and lead us, in Your ways, paths and truth. For Your ways are right and good, pure and true; all Your ways are holy, as You are holy. Teach us as we wait upon You, and make known to us the divine everlasting covenant. Amen
