Praying with Paul: 'Light that Burns Away Sin'

Thursday, October 2, 2025

Hebrews 12:29

Dear Father, who dwells in indescribable light,

Living God, consuming fire, burn the sin from my life. Purify my heart's desire in the smelter of your holiness.

I want to do your will, Father, so that whatever I do, in word or deed, it will be done in the name of the Lord Jesus.

I give thanks to you, God, my Father, always for everything.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
