Have any (Pet Sins)?

[FallingLeaves]

Oh I have lots but over the years I have come to be compassionate about being human and see they add some richness to being what I am...

 

[blue_ladybug]

​I have a pet cat that sins..lol.. Some of my pet sins would be impatience, gluttony and mean thoughts..

 

[JesusLives]

Amen, and, more generally, Lord help me to see all fellow members of the human race as precious and beautiful in your eyes, made in your image, and full of unlimited spiritual potential.

People ask if Jesus lusted after women. The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it sounds. He may have been tempted in all points, but He was also without sin. He practiced what He preached. He created, loved, and He died on the cruel cross for those 'blobs of meat'.

Dear Father In Heaven

Per Oyster's own words I could not have said it any better....Lord help me to see all fellow members of the human race as precious and beautiful in your eyes, made in your image, and full of unlimited spiritual potential. Please help him to do this Father as it is a nice prayer request may the rest of us posting on CC be able to do this also as we can get critical and judgmental at times. Help us to all show Your love to other humans we need Your love. I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

Dear Father In Heaven

I pray for FallingLeaves and ask that You would draw close to him and help him with any unspoken pet sins that he might be dealing with. We all have them and sometimes we ignore them, but he has posted here and You know what they might be for him so I give these to You and know that You will help him with those pet sins. We all desire to get closer to You Father and ask that You continue to draw us to Yourself as we need You and Your love, forgiveness, and grace in our lives. Thank You in Jesus Name Amen.

Dear Father In Heaven

Help Lady Blue's cat that is a pet she says sins....but really we thank You for her sinfully delightful cat that provides her with hours of entertainment as I have never known a cat that did not live up to it's entertainment value. So a big Thank You for that sinful cat.

Lady Blue has admitted that there are a few pet sins in her life that I can also relate to, impatience, gluttony and having mean thoughts. Father You know it is hard when people attack us and hurt us that it can lead us to those mean thoughts and impatience You know I have been there myself recently and I pray for both of us me and Lady Blue that You would come into our hearts and let us see through Your eyes the hurting souls out there that lash out at us as needing more of Your love and more of our patience. Please remove the mean thoughts and replace them with forgiveness that You so freely give to us and help us to forgive those that hurt us.

As to the gluttony issue please come into her life and help her with any eating issues remind her that her body is Your temple and that we don't belong to ourselves but to You and that You desire that we would be healthy and happy. So please whisper in her ear when she should pay attention to this issue and guide her to better health. Thank You for Your love and mercy toward us and help us to pay it forward to those we come in contact with. In Jesus Name Amen.

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
There will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.

Every now and then just feel the need to break out in singing a song.... What a better place for this one than in a Pet Sin Thread.....

 

[Bride]

I was in another thread where there was a situation where the poster was confused and the best as I could tell there was a Pet Sin involved.

A Pet Sin would be that sin in your life that you ask God over and over to forgive but for some reason you keep committing this same sin over and over again. Making you feel guilty and confessing it again just to repeat the same sin. Why would this be? Are we being honest with ourselves? Do we really want to give it up and STOP? This is what I would term as a Pet Sin.

This thread is to confess your Pet Sin and get encouragement, prayer and advise in how to over come this Pet Sin. I don't care how pretty we wrap this sin up and put a bow on top, we as Christians need to be able to identify the sin in our lives to confess it and turn away from it as sin and God do not exist in the same place. We need to learn to call sin a sin and turn it over to God and submit ourselves to Him and allow God's Holy Spirit to come into our hearts and remove these Pet Sins from our lives.

Who will be brave and join me as we work with God to overcome our Pet Sins? I invite you to be brave and join me. Any takers?

I wouldn't downplay someone's confession of repetitive sinning with a pet name, as though it is less than death manifesting itself in that person's life repetitively. That is extremely serious to know, and such a confession comes from a soul pleading for deliverance. Such a person needs to know basic scriptures is my recommendation, so that the Holy Spirit can convince them to turn from death unto life by being led in the Righteousness of the Spirit of Christ in them. They can only receive the Holy Spirit of Christ by being Holy Themselves, washed from sin. They need to receive Christ. They haven't been properly evangelized. May God save them, and that will be through your diligent serious application of scriptures to their lives. Blessings in this, it is what I do
(Rom 8:3)
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,
(Rom 8:4)
in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.
(Rom 8:5)
For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
(Rom 8:6)
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
(Rom 8:7)
Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
(Rom 8:8)
and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
(Rom 8:9)
But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him:
　
(Rom 8:10)


but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.





(2Th 2:8)
and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;


(1Co 10:13)
No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able to bear , but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that ye should be able to bear it .





(Heb 10:29)
of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?


(1Jn 3:9)
Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.

 

[Ugly]

Pretty obvious, Bride, you read the title and nothing else.

 

[MisterHarmony]

Lust is definitely the sin I struggle with most. It gives birth to a lot of frustration and anger.
I am also addicted to marijuana.
I dislike being a slave to both of these things.

 

[Joidevivre]

I think I fall short everyday in some way, but I sure don't name them "pets". A pet is something you pamper. Not something for which you pray for help.

 

[Atwood]

Ah, ye olde pet sin:

Come here little Sinny,
Sinny, Sinny, come here little Sinny.

Good Sinny, what a good little Sinny you are.

Thank you for the reminder that Jesus Saves....However, is there a pet sin of yours you would like to share? We all have them no one is exempt. Would be happy to pray with you for it.

 

[tourist]

Ah, ye olde pet sin:

Come here little Sinny,
Sinny, Sinny, come here little Sinny.

Good Sinny, what a good little Sinny you are.

Now we have the Skinny on little Sinny.

 

[JesusLives]

Pretty obvious, Bride, you read the title and nothing else.

Dear Father In Heaven

Please be with Ugly and help him to be able to like me and tourist again someday. Sorry we have chased him away from the singles area because of our relationship in the threads. We meant no harm to him or others. Help Ugly to find someone to love that he won't mind being mushy with. I appreciate his honesty and his ability to try and keep me in line I am thinking maybe I need that. If there is a sin that seems to be hanging on to him please help him to overcome this pet sin with Your help. We all need you and want to be in heaven with you someday so please help us to get there and be with You. I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

Dear Father In Heaven

You know us better than anyone as You have created us so please Father help MisterHarmony with his lust and marijuana addiction. These things can seem to overtake us at times and seem to be impossible to overcome, but Jesus has defeated Satan and he is a defeated foe so please help our brother come to You and lay down these pet sins at Your feet and allow You to take them away from him.

Help him to look at women with a different perspective to see them as a sister, or a wife, or a mother in a role that is non-lustful and to see them as Your daughters in the Kingdom of Heaven. Please take the desire away so that he would no longer want to partake in the marijuana. Part of the problem with pet sins is that we don't want to give them up but I pray that this is a true desire that He would give this over to You and lean on You and know nothing is impossible for You. Thank You Father for hearing and answering this prayer. In Jesus Name Amen.

 

[JesusLives]

Ah....but the pet sin is the one you don't really want to give up... it is the one you pamper and it is the pet which needs the most prayer because you don't want to let it go. We hide our heads in the sand and rationalize that it is not that bad....but it can KILL. So to me the pet sin is the worst sin.

Dear Father In Heaven

Help us to recognize we need You most in getting rid of and confessing our pet sins and help my sister with what ever one she has the most trouble with as You can root it out of her life and help her become the daughter you see her being. Forgive us for not wanting to give all of out faults and sins to You. Please help us all I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

 

[damombomb]

I do have a pet sin, it is smoking. I hang on to it, do need prayer. I confess it now.

 

[JesusLives]

Ah, ye olde pet sin:

Come here little Sinny,
Sinny, Sinny, come here little Sinny.

Good Sinny, what a good little Sinny you are.

Cute Atwood....you must have many little sinny's but the truth is that sinny's are deadly and not worth loosing our lives over.
Pet sins are not funny, they grab hold of you and don't let go easily. They make you doubt your faith and the sad part is each and everyone of us has at least one of them.

Dear Father in Heaven

Please help Atwood and his many little sinny's as I know he has at least one pet sin as proof in his calling for it. Please help him to overcome whatever this sin might be. Help him to lay it at Your feet and let You work to rid him of it. Thank You for Your love of Atwood and the fact You will help him have victory over this sin I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

 

[JesusLives]

Dear Father in Heaven

I lift up my sister damonbomb and ask that you help her to overcome the addiction of smoking. Please give her the desire to stop this habit, help her to see the harmful effects that it is causing on her body temple that You are trying to dwell in. Help her to see that You love her with an everlasting love and that You only want the very best for her. Help her to pray to you and give her life to You and this habit help her to build her faith in You that You will take this habit away from her and help restore her health in that her lungs will be able to work better. Help her not to have too many withdrawal symptoms and give her victory over this habit. Thank you for helping her I pray in Jesus Name Amen.
