Prayer based on John 2:15. Themes: Righteous anger, Holiness, Temple cleansing.

Dear Lord, just as you made a whip of cords and drove out all the animals and overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple, please help us to drive out all the impurities and distractions from our lives that hinder our relationship with you. Help us to pour out all the things that do not honor you and to turn our hearts towards you. May we always seek to worship you in spirit and in truth. Amen.

Verse: He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
