Seven Prayers for Overcoming Sexual TemptationSample

Lord, You said in Your Word, according to Psalm 51:17, that “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” God, your servant Jeremiah said, “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” I believe that my life is not my own, for You are the One Who directs my steps (Jeremiah 10:23). So, I humble myself before You and surrender to Your will. I lay down my hopes, dreams, plans, and desires for the future to pick up Your will for me.

Make me teachable, Oh Lord. Help me not to rely on my understanding but acknowledge You in all of my ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). You are the Creator, and I am Your creation. Because You created everything, You know everything (Revelation 4:11). Help me to seek You first for answers and clarity regarding the issues of life. Help me to acknowledge my limitations and willingly receive correction from Your Word to change my mind and follow Your will.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
