Praying from Romans 11:16. Themes: Holiness, Unity, Inheritance.

Dear Lord,

I come before you with a heart of submission, acknowledging that you are the holy root from which all blessings flow. I thank you for the promise that if the first fruit is holy, so is the lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

I claim this promise over my life and the lives of those around me. May we be holy and set apart for your purposes. May our lives bear fruit that is pleasing to you, and may we be a reflection of your holiness to the world.

I surrender all to you, knowing that you are the source of all goodness and blessing. May your holy presence be evident in every area of our lives, and may we be a testimony to your grace and mercy.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Verse: If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:16

This is a Both.

Summary: The verse is a promise that if the first fruit or root is holy, then the rest of the lump or branches will also be holy. It is a reminder of the importance of starting with a strong foundation and staying connected to it.
