We should pray, therefore, that God will purify our motives so that when we come to worship him in his House we do so simply because he loves us, and we want to show our love for him by our adoration.  So we ask that we should come to him chiefly for his sake, not for our own; that we seek to know him simply because he is worth knowing more than all the world besides; and that we love him for himself alone, just because he is the holy and eternal God, “perfect in power, in love, and purity”. (1)

And we should strive to become like him because only so can the offering of ourselves be in any sense worthy of him.
