What has been our prayer in the midst of temptations? Who have we run to and what have we done?
I want to bring something extremely simple, but profound and that has immeasurable power. I would like to say a prayer with you and I imagine that it will be of good use in your moments of temptation or difficulty.
“Lord, I come here in Your presence to ask you for help. I am going through a difficult time and I cannot deal with it with my own strength. I need the Lord and Your intervention. The enemy has been trying to haunt and divert me of your ways, but I know that this is not your will for my life. I know that your will for me is to live in holiness and praising Your name forever and ever.
Father, the truth is that my will is to My will is not to fulfill Your will and do the right thing, but to do my will and displease You. For myself, I will never be able to fulfill Your will, because I am a sinner, a sinner and my natural instinct is to sin against it. But I don’t want that
, so I ask you: free me from me, so that there’s only room for You inside me, that my being will diminish and that Your Spirit will take possession of my heart, of everything what I have and everything I am. Only the Lord can get me out of this situation and help me get through I use that. Any and all strength that I have comes from You.
Do not fulfill my desires, but do in my life what I need. My desires are infinite and lead me astray, but Your will is perfect and pleasant. Align my heart to Yours, so that I do not hesitate to carry out Your will. “
Prayer of a sinner dependent on the Love of the Father.

I am going through a difficult time right now with my 99 year old mum taken into hospital and cannot deal with it in my own strength . Only the Lord can get us out of this situation and help me get through it. This prayer is just the perfect prayer for me. This is how we know God is with us I believe. Through his Holy Spirit I know and pray that he will give mum and I strength and pray that he will show us the correct way .
Thank you Jesus. I needed this
Thank you
Why you don’t pray ending your prayers in the Name of Jesus.? Are you a Christain?
Thank you so much for your prayer. I have prayed this prayer also using the names from other, that I know they are desperately needing this, but for some reason they don’t/ can’t pray.
I know that God understands them and will help them, even if they don’t pray themselves. God bless you and be with you and all of us, because we are all exposed to temptation.
Amen!!! Thank you
Thank you Jesus! I need this today..

Yes thank u for this prayer it was perfect and touched my soul.. I needed this..thsnk u and God bless you
In this difficult times. It is so hard to hold on to your faith because it feels like He never listen to you. It is hard to not give in to the temptation or just ending it. I cried a lot to Him and begged all my life for mercy because it was always difficult. The days are just getting harder and all I wanted wa for evrything to end. All I wanted was to rest beccause I cant carry anymore the pain in my very heavy heart. What should I do when it feels like He never listen to my pain and my cries? What should I do when I feel like he will never listen to me because I am a sinner? What should I do because I feel like I am never special to be noticed by God. I am just so tired I just want everything to end. All my life all I wanted was to be freed from my mind. To have peace. That’s all I ever wanted.
Dear Len,
God always listens to a broken heart and a repentant heart is by God never renegade. Jesus came for the sinners; and He has promised that
John 6:37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
Just keep praying and trust that He listens to you. But He also said. I don’t condemn you either; go and sin no more.
We must keep testing ourselves.
God bless you and give you strength. 🙏 ❤️
Hello Len,
• “Walk by faith not by sight”
• ” Keep your faith and hope in God”
• When you get a chance please read James 1 NIV – trials and temptation
• Roman’s 15:13 NIV – May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Bible Offline
God Bless, and keep you always!
Below is a beautiful inspirational poem called “Footprints in the Sand”
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: “LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” The LORD replied: “My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
The word of God calls us saints once we are saved. Because your spirit has been made right with God. You are a spirit. You have a soul. You live in a body. When we gave our life to Jesus our spirit was born again. The word of God says “if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things have become new”. You are not a sinner anymore. You are a saint. You are right with God. Yes you may still sin sometimes. But the problem is that people are listening to other people instead of reading what the word of God says. The word of God says “9Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s lifea is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.” CANT KEEP SINNING!! Well even pastors sin because they are human. So either that means that no one is really saved, or it means that God looks at our spirit which doesn’t sin anymore once we are saved. Even if our flesh sins, because our flesh wasnt born again. Even if our mind sins, because our mind wasnt born again. Our spirit, which is who we are, hasn’t sinned since the day we accepted Christ. Saints aren’t perfect people who dressed in fancy clothes thousands of years ago. Saints are born again Christian’s. Look at all the times the word saint is used in the new testament.
Brother,
The word of God says “you are ACCEPTED in the beloved (Christ)”
You are “SEALED by the Holy Spirit”
You are a “NEW CREATION”
You are “ADOPTED by God through Christ”
You “CANNOT sin”
Stop seeing yourself as a sinner, and begin to see yourself as a born again child of God who Gid loves dearly. When you sin, tell God about it right away.
“If we confess our sins, He Is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to CLEANSE US of all unrighteousness”
When you sin, your spirit is still right with God! Your still His child! He still loves you and sees you as His son. Jesus already paid for sin. Your not fighting sin anymore. I’m not saying go out and have a sin party. Dint sin. But if you do (I do sometimes too) confess it to God right away and know that He forgives you on the spot and that He never stopped loving you or seeing you as perfect. It wasnt YOU that sinned. It was your unrenewed mind and your old flesh that sinned, and you are not your mind, you are not your body. You are a spirit, born again, right with God!!!!! Always!!! Even when you sin your not messed up!!!!
The body of Christ needs to stop calling itself sinners!!!! Thats identifying yourself according to the flesh.
But the word says if you walk by the flesh that’s death
But if you set your mind in the spirit that’s life
I need to stop answering the question who am I? By saying I’m Jonathan, who is good at this and not so good at that, and that I work at this place, and I’m poor or rich. THATS NOT WHO I AM. THATS SETTING MY MIND ON THE FLESH
But who am I? IM A SPIRIT. BORN AGAIN. RIGHT WITH GOD. GODS FAVOR IS ON MY LIFE. HE HAS CLEANED ME FOREVER. HELL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME. IM SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES WITH CHRIST. JESUS GAVE ME HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! IM THE ROGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. GOD LOVES ME. IM BORN INTI GODS FAMILY. AND HE ADOPTED MY BODY AND MIND.
THATS SETTING YOUR MIND ON THE SPIRIT.
and when you begin to see yourself the way the bible talks about you, instead of saying your a sinner saved by grace (which doesn’t make sense. Are you a sinner? Or are you saved by grace?) your body begins to follow the new way that you see yourself. That your righteous and God judges you based on your new righteous spirit which was made right by the blood of Jesus.
Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Begin to confess what Gods word says about you. That you are a spirit born again right with God. That you are a child of God forever and ever. That you have been made a saint by the blood of Jesus. That God see you as a son, or daughter. Forever.
God never ever condemns. The devil is the one who says “too look you sinned! Your never gonna make it! Give up! Etc”
God says “yes what you did was wrong. But confess it to me so it can be covered in the blood of Jesus so we can move on together. I love you. I paid for this because I love you”
Dear Len, I’m praying with you and for you. YOU MUST KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES YOU DEARLY. He left His place of Glory to come into a world full of sin for people like you and I. Because of what took place in the Garden with Adam and Eve (disobeyed God, SINNED) brought about a separation from God. Every man, woman and child born after Adam and Eve inherited this sinful nature. BUT JESUS!!! GOD LOVES US SO MUCH (and God loves you, you are very important to Him) that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS. JESUS CAME TO THIS WORLD TO UNDO WHAT ADAM DID IN THE GARDEN. JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE, SHED HIS BLOOD TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, so our relationship to God can be restored.
Len, Romans 10:9-11 (NASB)
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” You have to read Gods word, daily and believe it. Get with someone that is strong in the faith, that can read/go over the Word of God and pray with you regular basis. When the churches (buildings) get back to having services, get to one that teaches, believers and stands strong on Gods Word.
Len, know that IT IS NOT GOD that do not care, or think you are not special to Him. I would say God has something VERY SPECIAL FOR YOU TO DO FOR HIS KINGDOM. The enemy knows this, and he is attacking you in your thought process. He brings all these negative thoughts, he makes you focus on all the negative things that’s going on around you.
John 10:10 (NASB) The thief(Satan/enemy) comes only to steal (your peace, joy, trust in Jesus etc) and kill and destroy; I(Jesus) came that they( you, me, all mankind) may have life, and it abundantly.
Len, you have to give Christ your life, if you hadn’t already, tell Him everything( all ur hurts, pain, distrusts, talk to Him) trust that He hears you and will come to you rescue. Forgive others that had wrong you. Love you dearly and is praying for you.
This speaks huge of what I’m going through & went through. Temptation is around me so much often that I know it’s the evil spirit. I don’t know what it wants but I pray on it as often as I should be doing.
Thank you God for this prayer is meant for today. I woke up with praying for temptation. Let it be your will, just for today 💪📖🙏✌️
Thank you for this message. God has spoken to me with this post. Please Lord, please forgive me and have mercy on me, a sinner, saved by Your grace. In Jesus name I pray amen.
Very timely. I am facing a huge temptation at this moment of my life . God I believe in your word, you said you won’t allow me to be tempted beyond what I can bear. I trust this so much God.

Thank you so much for the daily devotions.

Once we come into Christ we are no longer sinners. When we were baptised he removed our past,present and future sins. We live for him from that day and if we faulter we repent. Seek his strength to live righteous and holy lives.
Thank you for this Shalina. How can we receive Jesus, believe He took away our sin , have Him dwelling in us and still call ourselves sinners? Was His death a waste?
Amen
Amen
This is exactly what I needed
Most of time our will is not of God, we ought to seek God’s Will in repentance and seek righteousness and holiness.
Amen
Amen 🙏
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
He is not, He gave you the CHICE to renew your mind Romance. 12 :1-2
Amen… Yes its very hard to stay in God’s path. Satan is always trying to divert our paths.. I am a good example… Iam weak in walking the right way. Please God help me.
Amen .we are sinners before God all the time but the moment we repent we are forgiven .Good Prayer:God
Do you believe we go in and out of Christ? Toggle between being a saint and sinner? I was taught once we are in Christ we cannot be a sinner. The new creation is the righteous and holy representative of God manifested in man. Christianity is divinity manifested in humanity. So how could a sinner be a Christian? In him there is no darkness.
Well spoken beloved
Thank you for your beautiful prayer. God bless you and all of us. 🙏 ❤️
As far back in my life that I can remember, when I really started to trust in Jesus, there’s no reason to live in fear. As God’s dearly loved children, we can find peace as we rest in His loving arms even as we face temptation.
How might an attitude of humility and patience change how you respond to a current temptation or struggle? How is it freeing?
Jesus, I’m saddened when I realize how often I try to face life’s temptations and struggles on my own—as if I’m self-sufficient, as if I don’t need You. Thank You for Your unending love and patience with me and my Wife, Son’s & Daughter’s. And all the rest of our generation before and after us. Bless my Wife Lisa & Daughter’s Corrina, Celeste, & Son’s Guillermo Jr, Paul, Timothy, Joshua Garcia and me Guillermo Sr. Thank you Jesus, Amen.
