You mean your prayer (a work) sanctifies you?

Where in Scripture are we told our prayers are works?

"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." -- John 6:28-29

The Holy Spirit brings us to our knees in prayer. You're certainly entitled to think you get there all by yourself.

Oh, there's that nasty sola scriptura bug biting you again.

Whatever is beyond mere faith is a work, or did Jean Cauvin come up with a spacey definition of "works" too?

***The Holy Spirit brings us to our knees in prayer.***

I will be honest here and not intentionally contentious. I have never seen a Calvinist on his knees in prayer.
