Prayer based on Leviticus 20

Almighty Father, the consequences for our sin against You are so very serious. Through our murderous affections and actions the land is full of blood and misery. Turn us away from our strange and dangerous fascination with spiritual evil. Free us from all unlawful inquiry into demonic pathways. Keep us from the sea of immorality that many would think of as normal. We have done depraved things that have brought great trouble upon Your people. Father, we thank You for the atoning blood of our Savior. Through Him the gross uncleanness of our sin has been fully dealt with. Our future is secure. Though we will not be perfected in holiness until this life is over, we have already been washed by the blood of Christ and cleansed through the renewing grace of the Holy Spirit. Grant that we would understand our current privileges in Christ our Lord, and at just the right time, bless us with a fuller experience of the glory of Your presence, and the victory over sin that Your Son has secured for us.
