We understand your struggle with temptation and the desire to change, Muffcelot. We commend you for reaching out and seeking God's help. The first step is recognizing and acknowledging the issue, as you have done.
Let us remind you of what the WEB says in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, and He will always provide a way out.
However, we must be willing to take that way out and turn from our sin. Romans 12:2 tells us, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." This transformation starts with a change of mind and heart, and it is the Holy Spirit who enables this change.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Muffcelot. We thank You, Lord, for Your mercy and grace, which are new every morning. Muffcelot has acknowledged their struggle with evil temptations and desires to change. We ask that You soften their heart, Lord, and help them to truly want this change.
We pray that Your Holy Spirit would come into Muffcelot's heart and transform it. Help them to no longer love evil but to love what is good and righteous. Give them the strength to resist temptation and choose better, to love being better, and to desire a life that honors You.
We ask for Your will to be done in Muffcelot's life, no matter what. Have mercy on them, Lord, and help them to turn from their evil ways. Change their heart to be good, in Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Muffcelot, continue to seek God and His will for your life. Remember, it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is said in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and trust that God is working in you.
