Prayers for Overcoming Temptations

Prayer for Strength

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability." - 1 Corinthians 10:13

Mighty God, When temptation surrounds me, Be my strength and shield. Help me stand firm in faith, Resist what leads astray. Give me courage to say no, Wisdom to choose right. Let Your power work in me, To overcome every trial. Amen.

Prayer for Clear Vision

"Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." - Matthew 26:41

Heavenly Father, Open my eyes to see temptation's true nature, Its power to harm and destroy. Help me recognize the enemy's tactics, And choose Your perfect way instead. Keep my mind focused on You, My heart set on higher things. Guide me in paths of righteousness, Away from temptation's snare. Amen.

Prayer for Protection

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." - James 4:7

Lord my shepherd, Guard my heart and mind, From temptation's subtle pull. Build a hedge of protection, Around my thoughts and actions. Help me submit to Your will, And resist the enemy's lies. Keep me walking in Your light, Safe from darkness and sin. Amen.

Prayer for Escape

"God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape." - 1 Corinthians 10:13

Faithful God, Show me the way of escape, When temptation threatens. Give me wisdom to recognize, The path You provide. Help me choose Your freedom, Over momentary pleasure. Lead me to higher ground, Where temptation loses power. Amen.

Prayer for Pure Thoughts

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." - Philippians 4:8

Holy Spirit, Fill my mind with pure thoughts, My heart with holy desires. Help me focus on what's good, What brings honor to Your name. Replace tempting thoughts, With meditation on Your truth. Let Your Word guide my thinking, Your presence guard my heart. Amen.
