And Lead Us Not Into Temptation

“And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Father, this is my prayer: protect my mind and my heart so that I do not sin against You. Lord, clean me up and renew the right spirit in me. Lord, I want to walk in Your will and in Your way. Lord, as we look to You for protection, we also look to You for direction. It’s not easy down here; there are so many distractions and misdirections that I have to rely on You, God. Light the path, but not only that, Lord, help me have blinders so Your light is the only light I see. Lord, when I fall short, please forgive me and then heal what is broken in me so that I would never sin against You again. Lord, I cannot do anything without Your power working in me, and so I stand firm in Your word that says:

“for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Lord, continue the work You have begun in me and allow me to be a blessing to the people You place in my path. Allow me to be who I am in YOU! Allow me to walk in my purpose for Your glory.

“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. For God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I ask this prayer by faith, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
