Simple Prayer: How to Pray Like Jesus

DAY 8 OF 25

You are Holy

The Call to Holy Living

Read: Psalm 15
"Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?" (Psalm 15:1 NIV)

Devotional Thought:
Psalm 15 describes the kind of person who can dwell in God’s holy presence. It is not about being perfect, but about walking with integrity, speaking truth, and living righteously. To honour God's name means to reflect his character—to be people of honesty, kindness, and faithfulness. Hallowing his name is not just about words of worship, but about a life of obedience. When we pursue holiness, we are saying with our lives, “Your name is sacred, and I want to reflect your goodness.”

Prayer Practice: Lectio Divina
Slowly read Psalm 15 three times.

  1. On the first reading, simply listen.
  2. On the second, note a word or phrase that stands out.
  3. On the third, ask: How is God calling me to live this out today?
  4. Hold a moment of silence to respond in prayer.

Reflection Activity:
Examine your heart today. Are there areas where your actions or words do not reflect God's holiness? Ask God to help you walk with integrity.

Prayer:
Lord, I want to honour your name not just in my prayers, but in my daily life. Shape me into someone who reflects your holiness. Help me to walk in integrity and truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
