A Prayer for Holiness
May 7, 2008
by Linda Lail
Father, I come to You seeking to know Your holiness. I look before me and I see Your word which describes Your greatness. Psalm 104:1-2 says that You are very great; You are clothed with honor and majesty. You cover Yourself with light as with a garment: You stretch out the heavens like a curtain. “ You cover Yourself with light”. I think that must be Your holiness. Only You can be filled with light and only You can do the filling.
Right now my heart is filled with wonder that You come to meet me in this place. I have no holiness of my own for I am a sinner, and I know that sin and holiness cannot dwell in the same place. How can it be then that You are here? It must be that You cover me with the light of Your presence, that You clothe me with the garment of Your light. It is only in Your holiness that I can dwell in safety and peace.
Father, You know that from a child my heart has yearned to know You in ways that You alone can reveal. When You do come to me, I am overwhelmed with the sense of who You are as Your holy presence settles around me.
Lord God Most High, Abba Father, my prayer not only for myself but for Your bride also is that we may have eyes to truly see You clothed with honor and majesty; to see You clothed in the light of Your holiness.
Even so, even so, come Lord Jesus, come
