Praying these scriptures
SCRIPTURE: \’The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in Spirit and in truth; for such doth the Father seek to be His worshippers. God is a
Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.\’–John 4: 23,
24.
\’We are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and
have no confidence in the flesh. Phil. 3: 3.
Our Dear Father! we confess with shame how much our worship has been in the power and
the will of the flesh. By this we have dishonoured you, and grieved Thy Spirit, and brought
infinite loss to our own souls. O God! forgive and save us from this sin. Teach us, we pray,
never, never to attempt to worship you but in Spirit and in Truth.
Our Father ! Thy Holy Spirit dwells in us. We beseech Thee, according to the riches of your
glory, to strengthen us with might by Him, that our inner man may indeed be a spiritual
temple, where spiritual sacrifices are unceasingly offered. And teach us the blessed art, as
often as we enter your presence, of yielding self and the flesh to the death, and waiting for
and trusting the Spirit who is in us, to work in us a worship, a faith and love, acceptable to
you through Christ Jesus.
And, oh! that throughout the universal Church, a worship in Spirit and in Truth may be
sought after, and attained, and rendered to you day by day. We ask it in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
