Knowing God: Pray Through His Attributesਨਮੂਨਾ

God's Attribute: His Holiness

Read It

2 Corinthians 6:16b - 18

For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 17 “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will welcome you. 18 “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.

Meditate On It

1. What specific actions or influences might God be calling me to "come out from" and "be separate"?

2. What promise does God make to those who live set apart from the world in holiness? How does this promise of His love shape your understanding of your identity as His child?

Apply It

Jesus said in John 3:16 that God loves the world, revealing His deep desire for a love relationship with His children. When teaching the disciples to pray, Jesus called God "Our Father," (Matthew 6:9) affirming that believers are God's children. Many view God as a distant, uncaring, supreme Being, disconnected from our lives. Yet, Scripture shows that God longs for intimacy with His family, inviting us into a close relationship with Him as our Father.

1. How does your experience with your earthly father shape your understanding of God’s fatherly love and care?

2. In what specific ways can I improve in my personal holiness and purity? Set Simple, Measurable, Appropriate, Realistic, Time-bound (SMART) commitments.

Example: “I will have at least two accountability partners to whom I can confess weekly about my struggles with any form of impurity."

Pray For It

CONFESSION
• Ask God to reveal any specific sin—such as thoughts, actions, or influences—that may be hindering your holy walk with God.
• Confess this sin honestly to our heavenly Father, expressing sorrow for how it separates you from His presence. Ask the Lord for the grace to turn away from sin, claiming His promise that He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess to Him (1 John 1:9).

ADORATION
• Reflect on the truth that the Lord calls you His son or daughter. Worship God for His fatherly love, praising Him for choosing to make you His own.

SUPPLICATION: PRAY FOR THE FAMILY
• To be used as a channel of His love in your family and other close relationships.

• To be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to exhibit the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
• To glorify and praise God in all things, even in the midst of difficulties in family relationships.
• Confess our tendency to take our relationships for granted, to ignore conflicts or relational tensions, as well as our unforgiveness towards those family members who have hurt us.
• Pray for intentionality starting this week to reach out to a family member, relative, or friend with whom you need to reconcile.
• Take the opportunity to pray with your loved ones: encourage one another and appreciate each other's good qualities and actions.
