I’ve recently been experiencing strong temptations after enjoying a period of time with relatively few temptations and feeling closer to God. Please pray that I do not give in to the temptations that have been assailing me lately (and currently). I do not want to fall back in to the cycle of sin that the Lord has freed me from.

A Very Useful Manner of Hiding Oneself in the Five Sacred Wounds
(Taught to Saint Mechtilde by Christ in a vision.)

I thank Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the painful wound of Thy left foot, from which flowed the Precious Blood that washes away our sins. In it I sink and hide all the sins I have ever committed. Amen.
I thank Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the painful wound of Thy right foot, from which the fountain of peace flowed to us. In its depths I sink and bury all my desires, that they may be purified and remain unspotted by any earthly stain. Amen.
I thank Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the painful wound of Thy left hand, from which the well of grace flowed to us. In it I enclose all my spiritual and bodily ills, that in union with Thy sufferings they may become sweet to me, and by patience become a fragrant odor before God. Amen.
I thank Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the painful wound of Thy right hand, from which the medicine of the soul was poured forth. In it I hide all my negligences and omissions which I have committed in my virtuous exercises, that they may be atoned for by Thy zealous works. Amen.
I thank Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the healing wound of Thy sweetest Heart, from which living Water and Blood and the riches of all good flowed to us. I place myself in this wound, and there unite all my imperfect love to Thy divine love, that thus it may be perfected. Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Dear Lord, please provide your servant with grace he needs to overcome the temptations assailing him.
 
St Michael the archangel, defend us in the day of Battle; Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke Him, we humbly pray, and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
 
Thank you all for your prayers. Thanks to your prayers and God’s wonderful grace I have managed to pull through without giving in to these temptations. May the Lord continue to uphold and protect us all from the evil one.
 
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end

Some cases are not really temptation but a ‘set up’ that is still a temptation but need to be deal with appropriately.
 
Praying for the Lord to give you the grace to overcome these temptations.

Thank you all for your outpouring of prayers for my intentions. I have felt much fewer temptations since you all began praying for me. I really appreciate it.
