Tempted
“Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Mark 14:38
God,
My spirit is willing. My flesh is weak. I pray that you would spare me from temptation, lest I fall again. It seems that more than most people I know I am prone to wander and to fall. I am still a spiritual infant who strays from what is good for her, and falls down because she refuses the help of the extended hand. God- break my pride and humble me, so that I have to ask for help. I flee, and fight temptation, but I keep on falling, keep on falling, keep on falling. Please spare me! I am so tired, and so I give up the fight. I don’t to live in apathy, but I need a little peace to clear my mind. It makes me laugh how I pray myself in circles. One minute I ask that you would keep me from falling, then I ask that you break and humble me, as if falling wasn’t the means of receiving humility. All I really can ask is that you would accomplish your will in my life. I know that you can deliver and heal people immediately, but if it is your will that I am to question, fall, scrape, and crawl towards you give me grace to know you have not abandoned me.
