Make me Holy.

 Amen. “Make me holy” is one of the most honest and beautiful prayers a soul can pray—not a request to be perfect in your own strength, but a cry to be set apart, purified, and transformed by the power of God. Holiness is not something you achieve—it is something He works in you as you surrender to Him.

📖 The Scriptural Foundation

“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” (1 Peter 1:15-16)

💎 A Final Encouragement

Holiness is not about being perfect—it is about being set apart. It is about allowing God to shape you, refine you, and make you more like Jesus. You cannot make yourself holy, but you can offer yourself to the One who makes you holy. Surrender your life to Him today. Let His Spirit work in you. And walk in the holiness He is creating in you.

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Make me holy, Lord—I am Yours. 🙏🔥💙
