# Chapter 13: Lord, preserve me in purity and holiness. | The Power of a Praying Woman

Good morning dearies! On we go with the book. It's such an eye opener. We better spread the word, we wouldn't want to leave our friends behind on this journey. Put the gear on and let's look out for today's excerpt from the book.
"Being holy is not being perfect. It's letting Him who is holy be in you. We can't be holy on our own, but we can make choices that allow holiness and purity to be manifested in our lives. We can separate ourselves from that which dilutes God's holiness in us and die to our lusts. And we are able to do this because 'Those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires' (Galatians 5:24). We are not slaves to our flesh. We are able to live pure lives consecrated to the Lord...'Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not of the Father but is of the world.' (1 John 2:15-16)"

"Purifying ourselves means taking stock of our lives, thoughts, actions, associations, and business dealings, and cleansing ourselves from anything that contaminates us. It is something we actively do. It means deciding to be morally and ethically pure."

2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
