My Dearest God,how I wish I could be free from this flesh and be with you for it tears me apart day by day seeking after the wiles of this world,many of these wiles I do not partake of and many have I cast aside,and yet one remains to linger over me in both sleep and when I wake for I partook of it and now it follows me beckoning me strongly and many times do I decline yet this night have I partaken of it wounding myself once again,I pray God that you can further influence me to no longer think of it nor dwell upon it as I persist to move forward for I was so foolish to partake of this for so long that I've given it leverage to haunt me,for in past times it was a delight,now it is a plague unto me and as such I Pray that You God can strengthen me by way of truth and caring so that I can leave it behind as the rattling chain in my ears that it is and continue to work for you God without past foolishness tripping me with it's stumbling blocks,In Jesus' name I humbly pray God,AMEN.
 
Hi Joe,

Keep pressing on towards the goal. Look what Paul said in Philippians...

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Keep soldiering on, Joe.

God is with you and is Mighty to save us from our sins.

There was something that was a stronghold in my life and I kept praying until I had victory over it. It's not a stronghold anymore. It took a couple of months of praying every day and meaning every word I pray.

You can do it Joe, God has given you power over whatever it is that you're struggling with. He can and will help you! And Amen to your prayer. I will pray for you too!
 
Lord please bless joefizz and this prayer, in Jesus Loving name, Amen!

Ill be praying eith you brother, take heart, God hears our prayers and is always able, MORE than able !!! try reading some scripture from the gospel, and remember Jesus says this

john 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life

and remember that Gods word created the heavens and earth !!
 
Lord I pray that You cleanse Joe from his secret fault. Keep him back from presumptouos sins; let them not have dominion over him. Let his words and the meditation of his heart be acceptable in Your sight. Lord I pray You will light his lamp and enlighten his darkness. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
 
Thank you for your advice and prayers,as I'm sure you know there is always one particular sin that is different to each one of us that we have given power to before we truly came to God,greed,lust,mischievousness,alcohol,drugs,cigarettes,pride,abominable ways,each of us must face our past yet move forward alongside God,true once we accept Jesus as savior and are saved our past sins are not to be mentioned to us yet they can still haunt us,many can you easily cast aside with God's help,but in my view each of us has a sin that we delighted in more than the rest and that is what we must surpass and cast aside,trouble is that your flesh and mind won't agree with this so it's as if you must tame your flesh and reprogram your mind which though we have God and his holy spirit to help us the question of if we will backside to such a sin or keep it far from us is our choice to decide ultimately,because though God changes us for the better once we are saved and baptized,our old sin comes back to reminder every now and then and we have to remember that God is with us and with him all things are possible,so he can easily help us to move forward for any sin of the past is a mere memory and memories fade while new memories are made alongside God,So I'll keep up my fight for God as I hope you will too against useless sin,true we still sin despite this but any sin that we can be rid of is a step closer to God,so keep fighting for truth and right and hopefully we'll endure long enough to perhaps See Heaven,May God bless you!
