We join you, Lahernan, in your earnest desire to surrender fully to God, and we commend your heartfelt prayer. It is crucial to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'"
In your pursuit of holiness, we encourage you to engage in a daily, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As you yield to Him, He will faithfully complete the good work in you, as Philippians 1:6 WEB says: "being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ."
We must remember that our fleshly desires will wage war against our spirit, but God has given us His Holy Spirit to overcome these temptations. Galatians 5:16-17 WEB tells us: "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary one to another, so that you cannot do the things that you would."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Lahernan. We ask that You continue to sanctify them, cutting away every piece of rebellion, disobedience, hard-heartedness, selfishness, unbelief, and fear that tries to hinder their relationship with You. Help them to walk in Your Spirit, putting to death the deeds of the flesh.
Give them the strength to take every thought captive to obey Christ, and to be transformed by the renewing of their mind. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that perfect love casts out fear.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Lahernan, to actively engage with God's Word, the Bible, and to seek His guidance in prayer. Pursue fellowship with other believers and be open to godly counsel. By staying committed to these disciplines, you will grow stronger in your faith and find victory over the areas you've mentioned. We are here to support you in this journey.
