DAILY BREAD — Consecrated Hearts, Beholding God

ADVICE:
Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 20:7

PROMISE:
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8

​PRAYER:
Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously. Hosea 14:2

---

O Jesus, our Savior and our Lord,
by the proclamation of Your grace
You have lifted the crushing burden of sin
and borne upon Yourself what we could never carry.
You call us to consecrate ourselves,
not to earn Your favor,
but because we belong to the Holy One.

Almighty God, Heavenly Father,
forgive all our sins and receive us graciously.
Purify our hearts, that we may be holy as You are holy.
Cleanse our motives, renew our desires,
and set us apart for Your service.
Grant that in serving You with joy here,
we may one day behold You face to face in glory.

Holy Spirit,
work within us a true purity of heart--
not outward appearance, but inward devotion.
Refine us by grace,
that we may see God even now by faith,
and at last in the fullness of Your presence.

Through Your mercy, O God,
You are blessed and reign over all things,
now and forever.
Amen.

Have a blessed day,

​With Love,
Rev. Frank
