Lord-
You have overcome the world, but I still feel trapped sometimes by it. There is so much in our culture that is hard to face and avoid. Please take away the temptations that stare me down like a bull in a china shop. Once one item comes crashing down, I feel completely broken. I'm sorry for letting the cracks of sin invade my life a little bit at a time. Please show me your goodness and forgive me for wanting something temporary as a fix to my emotions. You gave us emotions, but this world just lives to feed them with the temporary and with things that taste good briefly. Please show me a world in you that is sweeter than anything offered by this world. I'm sorry. I lay down my guilty hands for you to correct me. "Thank you" is hard right now, but Jesus please overcome my feelings, emotions, and temptations.
Please...my flesh is so real that it hurts at times...often lately.
Lord, in your redeeming and forgiving name I cling and ask you to help me overcome,
Amen
