A Prayer For A Strong Mind In Times Of Temptation

By

God’s strength is our best defense when we feel the pull of temptation, a perspective offered by Karin Hadadan. To help you walk this path, Rebecca Simon’s Finding God Every Day offers a guide for developing the spiritual discipline needed to remain steadfast. Strengthen your heart with the prayer below.

There are times when we feel vulnerable, as if negative thoughts and temptations are quietly pulling us in directions we know aren’t good for us. Just a gentle reminder to stay watchful and turn to God, trusting that His wisdom and strength can guard your heart when you feel most exposed. Let’s ask God together for guidance.

Build habits that keep your spirit strong and steady. Let this book guide you.

Dear God,

I come to you today because I feel vulnerable—there are many fears, voices, and negative forces gripping at me, urging me to act in ways that divert from your character. I admit that part of me wants to give in to these temptations, but I’m trying to be alert and of sober mind.

Please sharpen my spiritual vigilance against the enemy and help me remain alert and clear-minded. Give me the wisdom to recognize the tactics being used against me and whenever I am weak, strengthen my resolve. Where I am most vulnerable, increase my awareness.

Strengthen your focus on God’s guidance each day. Read more here.

Thank you for your protection that is greater than any threat I face. I trust that you have given me everything I need to resist and overcome anything that is not of your light and love.

Amen.
