Prayer based on John 3:6. Themes: Salvation, Spiritual birth, Flesh vs Spirit.
Dear Lord, I humbly submit to your truth that that which is born of the flesh is flesh. I acknowledge my human limitations and weaknesses. But I also claim your promise that that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. I pray that you fill me with your Holy Spirit, that I may be transformed and renewed in your image. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to you, guided by your Spirit and not by my own fleshly desires. Thank you for your grace and mercy, and for the gift of your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
