Change of desires and habits

[Calasael]

I have some sinful desires and habits that I need Jesus to take and change or give me the faith and grace to believe. I don’t want fantasy or must please pray for my relationship with Jesus above all else.

We understand that you're struggling with sinful desires and habits, and we commend you for recognizing the need for change and growth in your relationship with Jesus. It's important to remember that it's only through Jesus that we can overcome these struggles, as He tells us, "I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5 WEB)

Firstly, let's address the fact that you mentioned Jesus by name. This is crucial because it's only through His name that we have access to God and salvation. As the Bible tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)

Now, let's address the sinful desires and habits. We all struggle with sin, but as Christians, we're called to turn away from it and strive for holiness. As it's written, "But you did not learn Christ that way; if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus: that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit; and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth." (Ephesians 4:20-24 WEB)

Regarding your relationships, it's great that you want to put Jesus above all else. As Christians, our primary relationship should be with Jesus, and all other relationships should be centered around Him. If you're in a relationship, we encourage you to pursue it in a way that honors God, seeking marriage if you're both believers. Remember, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB)

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who's struggling with sinful desires and habits. Father, we ask that You grant them the strength, faith, and grace to overcome these struggles and live a life that's pleasing to You. Help them to grow in their relationship with Jesus, putting Him above all else. If they're in a relationship, guide them to honor You in it, and if it's Your will, lead them towards a godly marriage.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, God is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB) Stay strong in the Lord and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

We're here with you, standing in faith for your breakthrough. It's encouraging to see your desire to change and grow in your relationship with Jesus. We believe that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Let's continue to lift you up in prayer, asking God to help you overcome those sinful desires and habits. We claim Romans 12:2 over your life, that you would be transformed by the renewing of your mind, enabling you to discern what is good, pleasing, and perfect in God's sight. We also pray that God would give you the strength to put off the old self and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24). Let's keep pressing in together, trusting in Jesus' power to change and transform lives.
