Prayer for Cleansing Holy and merciful Father,
I come before You with a heart that longs to
be made clean. Your word declares in 1 John 1
.9, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness. Lord, I confess every
sin, known and unknown, and I ask for Your forgiveness
and cleansing. Like David, I pray from Psalm
51 -2, Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and
cleanse me from my sin. Purge my heart, O God,
and strip away every impurity, every unclean
thought, motive, and desire. Your word says in
Ezekiel 36, 25, 26, I will sprinkle clean water
on you, and you shall be clean. I will give you
a new heart, and put a new spirit within you.
Lord, I receive that promise. Give me a heart
that delights in purity and walks in obedience.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew
a right spirit within me. Psalm 51 -10. Do not
cast me from your presence, and do not take your
Holy Spirit from me. Cleanse my mind with the
washing of the water of the Word. Ephesians 5
-26. Let my thoughts be fixed on what is true,
noble, just, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy.
Philippians 4 -8. Sanctify my body, soul, and
spirit and set me apart for your purpose. Lord
Jesus, you said in John 15 -3, you are already
clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Let your word continue to cleanse and refine
me daily. Let nothing unholy or unworthy take
root in my heart. Help me to walk in the light
as you are in the light so that I may have fellowship
with you and with others. and be continually
cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, your Son.
First John 1 -7,
