Read this prayer Aloud by john G lake.
So, our blessed God, we lift our hearts up this
morning and ask Thee, our blessed God, that You
will take out of our spirits every wretched little bit
of hidden selfishness that is hidden within us. 0
God, apply the precious blood of Jesus Christ, that
we may be so purified and so illuminated by the
Holy Ghost and the glory of God, that we shall give
forth that real reflection of the Lord Jesus Christ in
the Holy Ghost, for Jesus' sake. Lord God, we ask
Thee this morning, as we lift our hands to heaven
and as we submit our souls to Thee, as we confess
our littleness and our meanness and our selfοΏΎrighteousness, that the blessed Christ shall
establish within us the Holy Spirit, who Himself
shall manifest the truth of the Spirit, for Jesus' sake.
And our God, we pray Thee that Thou wilt lift up
each one into the presence of God, and that Thou
wilt put upon us such a consciousness of God, of
His love, of His purity, of His holiness, of His power,
that, O God, our Christ, our praise to Thee and our
worship of God shall be in the beauty of holiness. O
God, that we shall worship Thee in spirit and in
truth, for Jesus' sake. O we ask, our God, that every
hidden thing, everything that would not bear the
glory-light of God, shall be driven from our
natures. That, O God, our Christ, once again we can
stand before Jesus, even as did Nathaniel, an
Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile. O God, we
ask Thee then that You will sweep from our souls
and wash from our natures and cleanse from our
hearts every unholy thing, every deceitful thing,
Lord Jesus, this devilish spiritual pride that is so
subtle. O God, sweep them away. Let us stand, O
God our Christ, guileless before our God, for Jesus'
sake.
Blessed be Thy name, 0 God. We worship Thee and
lift our hands and our hearts to heaven, and we say
this morning, blessed be Thy name. Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord. Blessed be His
