Lord, you desire your church to be a pure and spotless bride. You desire that she grow up into all the fullness of Christ. You desire that she be of one flesh with the Lord. One body.
You desire that your people be built up in unity, built up and edified in all things that you have given by Your Holy Spirit. You desire that each of us learn goodness in our innermost places. You desire that we be made like You. You want Your church to be good through and through even if that won’t happen until the consummation.
