One of the best ways to learn to pray is by reading and praying from the Scriptures directly.

Another is to read or hear others pray, especially those great intercessors of the past, like the Prince of Preachers, Charles Spurgeon. His prayers were transcribed for us to read, but listen along as we pray from Pulpit Prayers

Prayer 8 —

We adore Thee because Thou art holy and we love Thee for Thine infinite perfection. For now, we sigh and cry after holiness ourselves. Sanctify us wholly, spirit, soul, and body. Lord, we mourn over the sins of our past life and our present shortcomings. We bless Thee Thou hast forgiven us. We are reconciled to Thee by the death of Thy Son. There are many who know that they have been washed and that He that beareth away sin has borne their sin away. These are they who now cry to Thee to be delivered from the power of sin, to be delivered from the power of temptation without, but especially from indwelling sin within.

Listen and pray along with Spurgeon, this prayer for holiness…
