Praying to Be Made HolySample

Let us pray and acknowledge the holiness of God. If we are to become holy people, we must tap into His holiness, and that comes only through intimacy and obedience. It is God’s desire that we become holy, even as He is holy.

Holy God, your desire for my own personal growth and holiness stems from Your great love for me. By growing in spiritual maturity and holiness, I will be able to tap into a deeper intimacy with You. That is something I desire.

You are holy, and I know those who share a close fellowship with You will walk in Your holiness. I give praise that You want me to become the very best version of myself, according to Your will and perfect plan. I adore You for the power You make available to me so I might live a life of holiness. I know that I cannot do that alone. But You have placed within me all that I need to live a life of godliness (2 Peter 1:3). 

I worship You for Your provision of goodness and how that draws me closer to You in every way. Holy Lord, please make me holy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

How can we learn what it means to be holy? What is our model for a life of holiness?
