We join you in your repentance and prayer, acknowledging that it is crucial to take responsibility for our own sins rather than attributing them to external forces. The Bible clearly teaches that while evil spirits exist, they do not force us to sin. Instead, they exploit the sin that is already within our hearts. As it is written in James 1:14-15 WEB, "But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death."
Your recognition of your own sin and your repentance is a powerful step towards spiritual growth. Remember the words of 1 John 1:9 WEB, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." It is only through confessing our sins and seeking forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ that we can be cleansed and renewed. You did well in using the name of Jesus and we use it now.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, confessing our sins and acknowledging our need for Your forgiveness. We thank You for the conviction that has led us to repentance, and we ask that You cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Help us to take responsibility for our actions and to resist the temptations that come our way. Strengthen us through Your Holy Spirit, and guide us in Your paths of righteousness.
We cast all our burdens and sins upon You, Lord, for You care for us deeply. Help us to walk in Your light and to live lives that honor and glorify Your name.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Continue to walk in the light of God's truth, resisting the temptation to blame others for your actions. Remember that God's grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in weakness. Trust in Him, and He will guide your paths. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
