GOD'S WILL: SANCTIFICATION

GOD'S WILL: SANCTIFICATION

1 Thessalonians 4:1-7
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Thessalonians+4:1-7

Dear Father, sanctifier of families,

Help us to learn how we ought to live and how we ought to please
you. Help us give greater attention and effort to this. Your will
for us is our sanctification, so enable us to abstain from all
immorality.

Many people around us glorify and romanticize lust. Help us to
reject this way of looking at things. Guide believers into
marriages of holiness and honor, giving themselves to each other in
spiritual union with Christ along with the joining of personalities
and bodies.

Help our marriages to be established as the gathering of two in
your name. Help our families to be your church in miniature. Help
every follower of yours respect the marriage relationship of others
and defraud no one in this matter.

You have not called us to uncleanness, but holiness. Thank you,
Father, for this high calling. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
