Seven Prayers for Overcoming Sexual Temptationनमुना

Abba Father, thank you for the mercy, loving-kindness, compassion, and grace You’ve shown towards me. You, O Lord, are faithful and just. Because of Your Word in James 1:13-14, I am fully aware that You do not tempt me to sin, but I am led away by my lustful desires. I humble myself before You to repent of my sins and ask that You increase my discernment to identify and avoid temptation before it traps me.

I bring every demonic word or thought pattern into captivity to the obedience of Jesus Christ. Father, help me to think about what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8). Remove any distractions that would cause me to neglect spending personal time in prayer and studying the Bible daily. So, I may grow in my knowledge and understanding of Your Word. May I glorify You in all I say and do.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
