Leader: Cleansing Prayer

All: Oh Loving Father, as intercessors, we have taken upon us the burdens and grief of Your people, but we know that You do not want these burdens and grief to remain in us. We bring all these to Your throne of grace. Wash us clean of all these burdens with the blood of the Lamb. Lighten our hearts and fill us with Your peace, love and joy. Almighty Father, we ask now for You to soak us with the Holy Blood of Jesus to cleanse us from any burden and any unclean spirit that might have clung to us as intercessors. In Jesus' name, we bind them all at the foot of the Cross until You, O Lord Jesus, tell it where to go. Amen.
