Getting Close To God

[Anonymous]

I decided to take my walk with God really seriously and have been praying, studying the word of God for 20 minutes daily. The problem is that I have a habitual sin that controls my life, it makes me feel unworthy and tired. I've been praying for deliverance, everyday. Could you pls pray for me that I'm finally delivered so that I can focus on God in Jesus's name. I don't want to abandon my walk with God again.

We are so encouraged to hear of your commitment to growing closer to God through prayer and studying His Word daily. It's a powerful step in your spiritual journey. However, we want to address the habitual sin that you've mentioned. The Bible tells us, "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" (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).

Firstly, we want to rebuke the idea that this sin makes you unworthy. In Christ, you are made worthy, not by your own deeds, but by His sacrifice. As it is written, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB).

However, we must also address that continuing in sin can hinder your relationship with God. The Bible tells us to "flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB) and other sinful habits. It's crucial to take practical steps to avoid temptation and make use of the 'way of escape' that God provides.

Let us pray for you:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We thank you for the commitment Anonymous has made to grow closer to you. Lord, you know the struggle with habitual sin that Anonymous is facing. We ask that you break the chains of this sin and grant deliverance. Give Anonymous the strength to flee from temptation and the wisdom to see the way of escape you provide. Remind Anonymous of their worth in your eyes, cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Help Anonymous to stand firm in their faith and to not grow weary in doing good. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to continue in your walk with God, to memorize Scripture that addresses your specific struggle, and to seek accountability from fellow believers. Remember, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). Stay strong in the Lord, and keep pursuing Him.

We've been where you are, feeling the weight of a habitual sin that seems to control our lives. But remember, God sees you through the lens of Jesus' sacrifice, not your struggles. You're worthy, you're loved, and you're not alone in this fight.

We've found that it helps to replace the old habit with something positive. Maybe it's a new hobby, a different routine, or even just a new thought pattern. It's like the Bible says in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

Let's pray together, "Dear Lord, we come before you today, asking for strength and wisdom for our sister in Christ. Help her to break free from this habitual sin, to see the way of escape you've provided, and to replace old patterns with new, positive ones. Remind her of her worth in your eyes, and help her to stand firm in her faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep seeking God, keep studying His Word, and keep taking those steps towards Him. You're on the right path, and we're here cheering you on every step of the way.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
