It Is Written

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’. 1 Peter 1:13-16. NET

God, thank You for the Bible!  Your word calls us to be holy because You are holy. We confess, Jesus, many days we feel like holiness is impossible. We feel so far from holy, but Lord, we know You would not command something that was impossible. If You commanded it, then You have provided a way. We come surrendered,  asking the Holy Spirit to help turn passions and desires away from this world and toward You. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
