Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend. We lift up their prayer request to you, Lord, asking for your cleansing power to wash over them. We pray that you would purify their heart and mind, removing anything that is not of you. Your Word teaches us to hate evil, and we ask that you would help our friend to truly despise all forms of wickedness.
Lord, we know that it is only through your grace and the power of the Holy Spirit that we can live a righteous and holy life. We ask that you would fill our friend with your Spirit, empowering them to resist temptation and to walk in obedience to your commands. Protect them from the snares of the enemy and deliver them from any evil that may try to grieve them.
In your Word, you promise that if we ask anything according to your will, you will hear us and answer our prayers. We claim this promise today, trusting that you will grant our friend's request for a pure heart and mind. May they experience the freedom and joy that comes from living in alignment with your perfect will.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for the privilege of coming before you in prayer. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
