A Prayer for Victory Over Sinful Thoughts | Your Daily Prayer

Jessica Van Roekel

You see my errors and bring me into your Truth. And those faults I try to hide? They are not hidden from you. Hebrews 4:13 tells me that you see everything. Then, there are the actions and words I speak that I know go against everything you hold dear. I am a mess. But I am your mess. I’m ready for you to clean me and make me new. I want to have victory over these sinful thoughts—the thoughts I think way too often—because I know they don’t please you. God, I come to you and confess. Please forgive me. Like David, I appeal to you for help. You are my strength. You are my freedom. Keep me from willful sins so they don’t rule over me. I want to follow your ways and instructions. Lead me in paths of right living for your name’s sake. Thank you for your forgiveness and for your love for me. Thank you for helping me live in victory. God, I rejoice in what you’re doing in my life. May the words I speak and the thoughts I think bring you pleasure. In Jesus’ name, Amen
