Ealeniff, we understand that you're seeking guidance and prayer regarding idolatry. We commend you for recognizing the importance of this issue and turning to God's Word for guidance.

Firstly, let's remember the commandment God gave us in Exodus 20:3-6, "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol... You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them..." Idols aren't just statues; they can be anything that takes the place of God in our lives—money, success, relationships, or even our own desires.

Jesus, in John 6:27, teaches us, "Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you." Our focus should be on God's eternal promises, not the fleeting pleasures of this world.

We must also remember the warning in 1 John 5:21, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols." This is a clear and direct command, and we must take it seriously.

Let's pray together:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You, acknowledging that You alone are worthy of our worship and devotion. Help ### to identify and remove any idols in their life. Give them the strength to turn away from anything that distracts from Your love and will. Guide them to trust in You, as Proverbs 3:6 tells us, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."*

*In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

We encourage you, ###, to continually examine your heart and life, as we all should. Remember the promise in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." God is faithful, and He will help you overcome any idols in your life.

Lastly, let's not forget the encouragement in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." When we put God first, He aligns our desires with His will.

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.
