Dad
Please continue to be with our Lady Blue. There is such a need here for our dear sister with the pain she deals with daily and she is laying down a few of her pet sins to You and I ask that you give her the strength to deal with gluttony and computer time and Father I too should pray more along with my sister Blue. We know that You are Faithful and that nothing is impossible with You Dad and ask for You to come into Lady Blue's heart and help her to be victorious and be an overcomer in the areas she is giving to You this day. Thanks for hearing and answering this prayer in Jesus Name Amen.
Dear Father
Please help our sister with this pet sin of lust and help her mind to thing of You as this lust tries to enter her thoughts and help her to instead focus on Jesus and the love He had for us laying down His life on the cross to pay the debt for every lustful thought our sister has had. The debt is paid and she is free to go so Father please free her from this sin that has tried to enslave her. Let her rest in Your arms of love and receive peace in her soul that You are a God of mercy, love and understanding. Thank you for her victory Father I pray in Jesus Name Amen.
I have always thought this was mainly a guy problem, but I'm hearing more and more women admitting to having issues with lust, so you are not alone. Lust is kind of like a drug of escape. It's embarrassing for any of us to admit that we have a problem with lust, but I admire your honesty and will gladly pray for you!
Father
Thank you for our brother mailmandan and be with him as he goes about his daily tasks. Thanks for his encouragement and I also ask that you would help him to be an overcomer in whatever area our brother may have a pet sin. Dad You know where and what we need to improve so I ask that You continue to work through mailmandan and help him build his faith and trust in You. In Jesus Name Amen.
Dear Father In Heaven
Pride it is a hard sin in that most of us seem to have some of it myself included. Our sister AnnaBou has come asking for help with the sin of pride and I ask that You grant her freedom from pride and that she would learn to be a humble servant who will submit to Your will Dad. Please speak to her heart and show her what You would want her to do to help further Your kingdom. Help her to be willing to listen to Your prompts and allow You to cleanse her from pride. Build her faith and trust in You I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

I struggle with lust and sexual perversion, it has gotten better over the last couple weeks though as I have been fighting it more, but at the same time, I am broken over all that is going on in my life and is happening to me, and I feel like a drug addict on the streets who just needs a fix. In fact, I may outright say its not just porn and sexual immorality sometimes or lust sometimes, if I had drugs like methamphetamine, I would probably be addicted or a user. I need prayer for healing and restoration for the roots that are causing this. Despite it all, His grace is sufficient.
Dear Father In Heaven
Please be with our brother Fubario and help him with his addiction. He has come to you a broken man and hurting wanting change in his life Father and he is laying his life down in front of You asking for victory and freedom from these chains that lust have on him. I ask that you send extra angels to fight the evil ones tempting him with these thoughts. Please help him to think of You immediately when these thoughts try to come into his mind. Keep him busy and help him to read Your Word when the temptation tries to overtake him. Help him to recommit his life fully to You and let Him rest in Your arms of love and peace I pray in Jesus Name Amen.
I will absolutely pray for healing and restoration. Speaking of feeling like a drug addict, researchers are finding that when people indulge in porn, they release powerful chemicals in their brain and body. Mark Kastleman, author of The Drug of the New Millennium, said, "There are a growing number of therapists and psychologists who are saying that this is as addictive as cocaine," or alcohol, or even heroin. He explained that, when people view porn, "It causes the brain to release what we call endogenous drugs or endogenous chemicals. 'Endogenous' meaning 'produced from within.' So where cocaine or alcohol seek to mimic the brain's natural chemicals, pornography releases the real deal. And so we have things like adrenaline, epinephrine, ACTH."

Its not for those reasons that I feel like a junkie, it is because I cannot feel physical pleasure due to the medication I took (Invega Sustenna injection, it's still in my system by the way), so I need a fix otherwise I get psychotic.
I just want to encourage all of those who posted about anger, that God can and will change you. I had a temper like no one else. I didn't even know it was a sin until a few years after I was saved.
I prayed for deliverance, but it took God 30 years to answer that prayer. I'm not quite perfect, but nothing like the rages I used to have, and I know it is because I have learned to trust God, and that he is totally in control. If God is in control of a situation or a person, why should I be angry?
As far as current sins, working on losing weight, and trying to be humble. God is helping me through both, but still challenges, especially since two of the medications I am currently on cause you to crave salt. Prayer appreciated, that my RA can be controlled, so I can get off those medications and get back to a lower weight. Also so I can get back to riding my bicycle, which was a big part of controlling my weight. I can barely walk right now, so riding the bike is beyond me and has been for a few months, the first time in 10 years I have not been able to ride. (I'm still stretching, and I really need it!)
Humility - well, just pray that God is going to continue the job of shaping, molding and transforming me. I have to praise him for all he has done in my life and that he continues the work every day!

Dear Father In Heaven
I ask that you would draw very near to my sister Angela as she has laid several burdens down at Your feet and is asking for healing and deliverance and has given a praise for the help you have given her with anger. I ask Father that you continue to help her with peace and patience and to allow any anger left to just leave her and that she would rest in knowing You are in control of everything.
Please heal her according to Your will with the RA she suffers from please lessen the pain and stiffness she deals with on a daily basis. She also requests to be able to get out and back on her bike that she enjoys riding so please help her reach this goal now that spring and summer are right around the corner.
She has been a mighty worker for You Father and she is also requesting humility and we know that when we request character improvements that You will test her in this area so help her remember that she desires humility as Jesus gave us in His example while living here on this sinful earth. Let her lean on Your everlasting arms when these tests come.
Thank you for her witness on this site Father I am thankful she is my sister and friend. Please continue to bless her family and her life I pray in Jesus Name Amen.
PS Dad.....Forgot the weight loss request but You know all about it and help her with the temptations that will come in the food area to make the wise choice and eat healthy. Send extra angels to fight against those temptations and fight off the evil forces that tempt us to do wrong and sin I pray.....
