Prayer To Overcome Temptation

James 4:7  reads – Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James issued two instructions on how to overcome temptations:

1. Submit to God  and

2. Resist the devil.

And note what the result is: he will flee from you! The victory is yours.

Whatever you may be facing, there’s victory around the corner.

Sometimes when facing temptations, we choose to run from God and not submit to His instructions.

We then find it impossible to resist the enemy.

Take the first step and the second becomes easier!

Let Us Pray

Heavenly and merciful Father, I can no longer make it alone in this world. Lord, I need you each and every second, every minute, every hour of my life.

Continue to walk beside me and mold me as I progress, and strive to become a better, stronger person in You. Guide my actions, my thoughts, my words, my deeds. Allow me not to yield to temptation.

Yeshua, the battle against temptations is so strong, I struggle at times to fight it. Give me strength, Oh Lord, to walk away from the evil that tries to lure me in.

Father, cleanse my mind, body, and soul of anything that is not pleasing to You. Help me to follow in the footsteps of Christ and keep pure and holy, for my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Hebrews 2:18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Lead me to the cross, Oh gentle Savior. Rid me of myself because I belong to You. In Your presence is where I want to be.

Yahweh, lead me to victory as I overcome the battle of sin and become a mighty, righteous warrior for You. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen!
