PLEASE PRAYER THE FOLLOWING PRAYER EVERY DAY FOR THE PARISH MISSION AND ALL THOSE WHO WILL ATTEND.

Prayer for a Clean Heart – Parish Mission February 24-26, 2019
Please, Holy Spirit renew my mind, heart and soul. Lord, all I want is to be with You.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Oh God, heavenly Father! Lord Jesus Christ! Holy Spirit of the living God. Thank You for this, another chance and day You have given to me. Help me to remove all the doubts and unclean thoughts that are inside my mind, heart, and soul now. Let Your power be revealed in me and through me, oh God and create in me a clean heart.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Please wake up this sleeping soul. Use my life, oh God, for Your glory and let my life be the proof of Your unfailing love. Oh, sweet Jesus! You never fail to amaze me. Your love remains in me.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Please, Holy Spirit renew my mind, heart, and soul. Lord, all I want is to be with You. Oh God, heavenly Father, please freely use me and my life to be a living testimony of how Your power and wonders have worked in me.

Father, bless our Parish Mission. Bring all those who need to hear it’s message of hope and promise. Create in all a clean heart and a right spirit.
May all of our efforts work to bring you Glory!
Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

All this I ask and pray, in Jesus name, Amen!
