Personal Prayer
Praise Jesus for his mighty victory over temptation in his confrontation with Satan in the desert (Mt. 4:1-11). Thank God for his promise that you are never tempted beyond what you can handle (1 Cor. 10:13). Confess the many times you have yielded to temptation, not claiming God’s power to “resist the devil” (Jas. 4:7). Commit yourself to God that you may overcome evil with good (Prov. 3:7-8). Ask him to assure you that you will overcome all the power of the enemy because of his ultimate victory over Satan at the cross.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family and friends may celebrate your victory over temptation— then feel God’s special power for them to be overcomers as well.
For the Church
Pray that the leaders of your church may be real examples of victory over temptation and help others to that end as well.
For the Kingdom
Pray that those in our armed forces will be given extra strength in the face of strong temptation.
For People to Know Jesus
Pray that you, with the power of God, might use an opportunity today to help an unsaved friend have victory over temptation (Col. 4:5-6
