od is the Holy One. His people is a holy people. He speaks: I am holy:
I am the Lord which make you holy. Christ prayed: Sanctify them. Make
them holy through =Thy Truth=. Paul prayed: "God establish your hearts
unblamable in holiness." "God sanctify you wholly!"
Pray for all saints--God's holy ones--throughout the Church, that the
Spirit of holiness may rule them. Specially for new converts. For the
saints in your own neighbourhood or congregation. For any you are
specially interested in. Think of their special need, weakness, or sin,
and pray that God may make them holy.
HOW TO PRAY.--Trusting in God's Omnipotence
The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. When we
think of the great things we ask for, of how little likelihood there is
of their coming, of our own insignificance. Prayer is not only wishing,
or asking, but believing and accepting. Be still before God and ask Him
to give you to know Him as the Almighty One, and leave your petitions
with Him who doeth wonders.

In the last night Christ asked three things for His disciples: that they
might be kept as those who are not of the world; that they might be
sanctified; that they might be one in love. You cannot do better than
pray as Jesus prayed. Ask for God's people that they may be kept
separate from the world and its spirit; that they, by the Holy Spirit,
may live as those who are not of the world.
HOW TO PRAY.--Having Confidence before God
="Beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we confidence toward
God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His
commandments, and do those things that are plea
