Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. ~ Ephesians 4:24 (NLT)
Lord God,
THANKS: You are unique -- special -- different -- holy. We recognize you as such. Thank you for inviting us to share in your holiness.
REGRETS: I confess, though, that I am most comfortable when I can reduce holiness to keeping a bunch of rules that have to do with the appearance of holiness.
INTERCESSION: Free me from that kind of shallow thinking. Help me to live into my new nature so that through transformation I become genuinely holy and righteous.
PURPOSE: I want to add honor to you by thinking and living like you.
Amen.
