Please pray for me about these two things: I've noticed that I have a tendency to sometimes engage with things I know are not edifying (or that I know I should not, for whatever reason it may be, engage with - whether it be online or in other areas of my life) because I am curious/being nosy about those things. Please pray I will stop doing this. Please also pray for me about my skin (especially my hands) as it becomes very dry in certain times of the year like winter to the point of my skin becoming so dry that it hurts. Only certain products (which I do not always have access to) work to stop this. Thank you.
Curiosity and skin

We hear your heart in this request, and we come before the Lord together in Jesus’ name to lift up these concerns. First, we want to acknowledge the honesty in your struggle with curiosity leading you into areas that do not edify. The Bible warns us clearly about the dangers of allowing our minds and hearts to wander into places that do not honor God. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we are instructed to "take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." This means we must be vigilant about what we allow ourselves to explore, especially when we know it does not align with God’s will. Curiosity in itself is not sinful, but when it leads us into temptation or ungodly influences, it becomes a snare. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." We must guard our hearts and minds, being intentional about what we allow to influence us.
We also recognize the frustration and discomfort you experience with your skin, particularly during the colder months. Physical suffering is real, and we know the Lord cares deeply about every aspect of our well-being. In Psalm 34:18-19, we are reminded, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." We trust that God sees your struggle and will provide relief, whether through the products you have found helpful or through other means He may reveal.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your strength and guidance for our brother/sister in this time. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of curiosity that lead into ungodly places. Give them the wisdom to recognize when their thoughts or actions are not edifying and the strength to turn away from them. Fill their heart with a hunger for Your Word and Your truth, so that they may be satisfied in You alone. Help them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and to walk in the light of Your love and holiness.
Father, we also lift up their physical struggle with dry skin. We ask that You would bring them comfort and relief, Lord. Provide them with the resources they need to care for their skin, and remind them that You are their healer. Even in this small thing, may they feel Your presence and Your care. Help them to trust in Your provision and to find peace in knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit.
Lord, we thank You for the honesty and vulnerability shared here. We ask that You would draw near to them, strengthen their faith, and help them to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have placed on their life. May they grow in holiness and in their relationship with You, finding joy and peace in Your presence. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, allowing it to renew your mind and shape your desires. When temptation comes, remember the promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." You are not alone in this struggle, and God is faithful to provide a way out.
For your skin, consider asking the Lord to lead you to natural or affordable remedies that may bring relief. Sometimes, the Lord uses simple or unexpected means to provide for our needs. Trust in His provision and continue to seek Him in all things. You are deeply loved, and we are standing with you in prayer.
