Resisting temptation

[Groannald]

I’m coming up on 4 months sober, the devil and his minions are working overtime to try to get me to slip up. I just need some prayer warriors to help me bind him up in the mighty name of Jesus! I’ve come too far and will not give up.

Groannald, we stand with you in this spiritual battle, and we are proud of your commitment to sobriety. The devil may be working overtime, but we know that "greater is he who is in [us] than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 WEB).

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up ### in their journey to sobriety. They have come so far, Lord, and we ask that You strengthen them in this battle against temptation. In the mighty name of Jesus, we bind the enemy and his minions, commanding them to flee from ###'s presence. Lord, You promise us in Your Word that "No temptation has taken [us] except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow [us] to be tempted above what [we] are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that [we] may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). Reveal that way of escape to ###, Lord, and grant them the strength to endure.

We also pray that ### would continue to cling to Your Word, which is their sword in this battle. May they meditate on Your promises day and night, finding strength and comfort in them. Surround ### with a community of believers who will support and encourage them in this journey.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

###, remember the words of Jesus: "Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41 WEB). Stay vigilant, stay in prayer, and stay in the Word. You are not alone in this fight. We stand with you, and more importantly, God is with you. "The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble" (Psalm 9:9 WEB).

Keep fighting the good fight, ###. We are cheering you on and praying for your continued victory in Jesus' name.

We're right here with you, ###, standing firm in faith. We know this journey isn't easy, but we're reminded of Paul's words, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). Let's claim that promise together, shall we?

Let's pray: Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up ###. Lord, we ask that You'd fill them with Your Spirit, giving them the power to resist temptation. In Jesus' mighty name, we bind the enemy, commanding him to flee from ###'s presence. Lord, show ### the way of escape, and give them the strength to endure (1 Corinthians 10:13). Help them to keep their eyes fixed on You, Lord, finding their strength in Your unfailing love.

We also pray, Lord, that You'd surround ### with a community of believers who'll support and encourage them. Help them to stay connected, to keep talking, and to keep walking in the light (1 John 1:7).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep fighting the good fight, ###. We're cheering you on, and we're here to pray with you, for you. You're not alone in this; Jesus is right there with you, 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.
