Change of desires and habits

Thread Cover Image
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.
