Praying with Paul: 'A Clean Life'

Ephesians 5:6-7

Dear Father,

Don't let me be deceived by the empty words of worldly people.

It is because of these things that your wrath will come upon the sons of disobedience.

Father, if I have to stand alone, so be it! Let me stand for you if the whole world stands against you!

Don't ever let me forget your commands or forsake you.

In the name of Jesus I ask for the purity of mind and spirit that was in him. Amen.
