Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude, recognizing Your holiness and sovereignty. Thank You, Father, for Your endless love and mercy. As we gather in prayer, we ask that You sanctify our petitions and cleanse our hearts. Your Word tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Father, we seek Your sanctifying power to be upon us, purifying our thoughts, words, and actions. Help us to align our lives with Your will, and may our prayers rise to You like sweet incense. Guide us in all truth and wisdom, and let Your Holy Spirit dwell richly within us.
In Jesus' mighty name we pray, Amen.
