Ephesians 4:22-24

Dear Father, righteous and holy God,

Enable me to put away completely my old human nature - the former lifestyle corrupted by deceitful desires.

Help me to be renewed in the spirit of my mind, to put on a new nature, created in your likeness in true righteousness and holiness.

Father, make me holy like Jesus, righteous with his righteousness!

In the name of the holy Jesus I pray for true holiness within me. Amen.
