Daily Prayer for April 19, 2021: WSC 4 (7)
Q4 What is God?
God is a Spirit, (John 4:24) infinite, (Job 11:7–9) eternal, (Ps. 90:2) and unchangeable, (James 1:17) in his being, (Exod. 3:14) wisdom, (Ps. 147:5) power, (Rev. 4:8) holiness, (Rev. 15:4) justice, goodness, and truth. (Exod. 34:6–7)
Prayer: Almighty God, you are the one that we praise and adore. With great thanksgiving, we come to you to pray to you and praise you for the many mercies that you pour out on undeserving creatures. We are creatures of dust. We are here today, and we are gone tomorrow. We are a flower that quickly fades. Yet, you are from everlasting to everlasting, infinitely holy in all your works and words. We confess that we often forget that your holiness requires that we be holy as you are holy. You have redeemed us to this end, that we would be like your Son, the righteous One. Forgive us, Father, for not striving after holiness in our lives. Forgive us for forgetting that your holy eyes behold all that we do. Please grant us a greater measure of your Spirit that we would strive for holiness as you have commanded. We thank you for helping us. We pray these things in the name of the Savior. Amen.
