Prayer to Give Up a Bad Habit
Most loving Father! You know all my weakness
and shortcomings. I feel so unworthy to stand
before You. I choose to believe Your Word,
which says that You are the lover of all sinners.
I draw near to Your throne of grace begging
for Your mercy and help. O Lord! The Scripture
says that we ought to present our bodies holy
and acceptable to You! Master! I am of the
flesh and on my own strength, I just cannot
overcome this sinful habit.
But I long to lead a clean and pleasing life
before You, Lord. I am so helpless and find it
very difficult to resist the temptations that
come across my way! I look up to You for
help, Master!
Please cleanse me and fill me with Your
Holy Spirit, who alone can strengthen
me to overcome this habit. Let Your Spirit
guide me and preserve me from stumbling
back. Please Lord, take full control of my
thoughts and grant me Your special grace!
O God! Let my eyes be always upon You
for without You I can do nothing. You
have all the authority in Heaven and
on Earth. I ask You to protect my mind
and body and set me absolutely free
from this unwanted deed.
I choose to submit myself only to
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Forgive
me for all that I have done against You
and cover me with Your precious blood.
Thank You for forgiving me and forgetting
my bad past, Lord! I am now Your child,
Master, and I acknowledge Satan has
no power over me. Be with me and
lead me in the everlasting way.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
