Seven Prayers for Overcoming Sexual TemptationSample

Father, I thank You that I can always trust in You because Your Word promises that You will never leave me nor forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:8). Thank You for loving me in such a way I cannot even fully comprehend. Remind me of Your great love for me whenever I am discouraged and feel alone and unloved. Strengthen me to keep Your commandments so I may abide in Your love; even as Jesus kept Your commandments, and abide in Your love (John 15:10).

I desire to please You, Oh Lord, and not man (Galatians 1:10). Reveal to me any people, places, or things I have made an idol. Increase my faith to leave every ungodly association in the name of Jesus. Today, I choose to serve You, Lord (Joshua 24:15). Lord, I forgive anyone who has ever wronged me in the past. Please remove all bitterness, envy, anger, jealousy, and any other evil emotion I may harbor towards another. Replace these things with Your love, peace, joy, hope, and contentment. I surrender my affections, emotions, and desires. I request that they be in submission to the Holy Spirit.

In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
