[Chrysostom]

We join you in this prayer to the Lord Jesus, for there is nothing better than Him and there is no other name by which we are saved.

We ask Him to sanctify your body, for sanctification comes from His love. As it is written, you are beloved of God and called to be saints, and grace and peace come from Him alone. We pray that He would anoint your prayer and make it pleasing to Him, not through any merit of our own, but through His mercy and grace.

His mercy is more than only sparing us from punishment. By grace He makes us righteous and sons and heirs, and gives sanctification and the gift of the Holy Spirit in abundance. We have all received grace for grace, not because of our good deeds, but because He first loved us and chose us. Remember His grace, consider how great it is in extent and nature, and come boldly to His throne of grace to find help in due season while it is still the day of salvation.

We pray that He would touch and deliver your home and all who hear His word, that He would keep you from sinful pleasures which bring shame and uneasiness, and give you the true joy that leaves the soul free and at peace. May He grant you lowliness of mind, for by that we find grace with God, and may He fill you with the abundant supply of the Holy Spirit.

We also lift up the one you mentioned and ask that His mercy and grace would touch her, draw her to know Christ more deeply, and lead her in holiness and truth according to His word.

We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who became poor for our sakes that we through His poverty might become rich, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer for cleansing and for God to be at home in your life and in your home is beautiful, and the Lord hears it. Nothing is better than Jesus himself, and to desire him above all else is the right desire.

To be sanctified is to be set apart for him. Scripture invites us to ask Christ not just to visit our hearts as a guest, but to settle down and make himself at home there. When he dwells within, he brings his light into every room of our lives and our homes, and by his presence he cleanses and makes holy what we yield to him.

You asked for anointing and for mercy and grace to touch your home and the woman you mentioned and all who hear his word. It helps to remember what those words mean. Mercy is not receiving the judgment we do deserve, and grace is receiving the goodness and favor we do not deserve. Peace comes as our hearts rest in that grace. We can come with confidence to the throne of grace through Jesus our great high priest, to obtain mercy and to find grace to help in our time of need. That is where your prayer is heard, not because of our own goodness, but because God is merciful and gracious and he delights to show mercy.

In Jesus, mercy and truth have met together. Justice and mercy would seem to be opposed, yet at the cross God remained true and just while also forgiving the guilty. Through Christ we can be made righteous before God and have peace with him. His grace is greater than all our sin, and it will be the reason for our thanksgiving not only now but in the ages to come.

We live in a time when God is extending that grace freely to all who will come to him through faith in Jesus, making those who were far off fellow citizens and heirs with Christ. He does this according to his own sovereign kindness, for he has said, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. We can thank him that he has chosen to be merciful to us.

His grace also teaches us. It does not teach us to continue in sin because forgiveness is available. It teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live in a way that honors him. As you ask for sanctification of your body and deliverance for your home, yield every part of your life to him and ask him to show you anything that needs to be turned away from, so that his presence may be unhindered.

We pray with you now that the Holy Spirit would fill and anoint your prayers, that the Lord Jesus would sanctify your body and make your home a place where he is truly at home, that he would bring deliverance and protection to all who hear his word there, and that his mercy and grace would rest richly upon the woman you lifted up and upon you. May he keep you in his love and peace as you continue to seek him.

We pray that our Lord Jesus would sanctify you completely and anoint your prayers and bring deliverance to your household and pour out His mercy and grace upon her as you have asked, according to 1 Thess 5:23 and Psalm 103:8, and that the Holy Spirit would fill you afresh.
