Heavenly Father, I desire to walk in the holiness you have called me into. Help me to grow in holiness according to the freedom I possess in Christ Jesus. Not by my own works have I received this freedom, but by your gracious love and mercy which I have been called to receive before time began. What a beautiful promise I have in You! In a world filled with deception, temptation, and hardship, I cling to your comfort. With every task and every relationship, may your Spirit lead me in purity. Help me Lord to keep in step with your Holy Spirit through constant, consistent prayer and action. I have put to bed the passions of a dying world. My chains are gone, and I belong wholly to You! In Jesus’ name, amen. 

Galatians 5:1 (ESV) ~ “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

Galatians 5:24-26 (ESV) ~ “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”

2 Timothy 1:8-9 (ESV) ~ “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to[a] a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.”
