Heavenly Father,
I come before You today, acknowledging my weaknesses and seeking Your strength to overcome the temptations of sexual immorality. You are my refuge and my fortress, and in You, I find the power to stand firm against all that seeks to lead me away from purity.
Lord, Your Word says, “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18). I ask for the grace and courage to flee from anything that compromises my integrity and defiles my heart. Help me to set my mind and my desires on things that are above, not on the fleeting pleasures of this world.
Father, You have called me to be holy, just as You are holy. Your Word reminds me, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). I pray for Your sanctifying power to purify my thoughts, words, and actions. Renew my heart and mind, that I may live in the light of Your truth and reject the darkness of sin.
In times of temptation, remind me of Your promise: “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Strengthen me, Lord, to resist and to take the way out that You provide.
Help me, Father, to pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, as You command in 2 Timothy 2:22: “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” I pray that my heart would be pure and that I would surround myself with people who encourage me in my pursuit of holiness.
Lord, I ask for Your Spirit to guide me, to fill me with self-control, and to convict me whenever I stray. As Your Word says in Psalm 119:9: “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to Your word.” Help me to meditate on Your Word daily, to hide it in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
I surrender my body, my mind, and my heart to You, Lord, asking that You would make me a vessel of honor, set apart for Your glory. “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). May my life be a reflection of Your holiness and love.
In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray,
Amen.
