Zach2008 -> Prayer request for self-control. (9/1/2008 2:05:39 AM)

I am too embarrassed to ask for prayer form my friends and family, so I decided to ask you guys to pray for me. We may be strangers, but we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Very recently, I have been having problems with lust and some anger problems. I don't like to discuss these kinds of things with friends(I am referring to lust ), because I don't want them to think I am some sexual pervert. I think I should at least tell someone other than God, who already knows everything. Sometimes I just feel like a real carnal Christian, because of the stupid things that I do. I know that we can't be perfect, but sometimes I just feel that I am worse than everyone else.

Thank you for your prayers,
Zach

Father God,
I pray with Zach for the unspoken requests he has for his family and friends. For the personaly problems he mentions, Lord, help guide him through resolution of things, that he might lead a less erring life that helps him be of better testimony of Your love for him. Thank You, Lord.
I pray this in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen

I am sorry, the prayer request was for myself. I meant to say that I was too embarrassed to ask my family and friends to pray for me.
thanks.
Zach

God, please look with favor upon your follower, Zach2008. Have mercy upon him and help him with these issues he is dealing with. Show him that he is not the only person who has dealt with issues like lust and anger, and that he can learn to control them just as others have. Remove from him this spirit of lust and anger that lurks inside of him, and replace it with a spirit of compassion and self-control. Touch his heart in such a way that these kinds of feelings will not torment him and will become easy to deal with in a manner that is acceptable to you. Keep him from temptation and help him to resist those things which are not good for him in accordance with your Word.

God, when your Son, Jesus Christ, was on Earth, He was tempted by Satan to go against your teachings. Still, He stood fast in his faith in you, and withstood the devil's assaults on Him. Please, God, let Zach2008 be able to stand up to the temptations that are being thrown at him, as well. You are merciful, God, and you strengthen those who look to you for help. Strengthen Zach2008, now, and give him the courage and the ability to fight off this assault on him, and may this cause him to continue to seek you and strive to form a deeper bond with you.

I ask for this in the name of the one who's sacrifice was the true proof of your love for us, Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Lord Jesus, please give Zach the self-control he desires. We thank You that it is through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we are able to overcome, so we ask You Holy Spirit to overcome these struggles in Zach, for the glory of Christ.
Amen.

Lord,
We ask for self control to be given to Zach.
We ask that the Holy Spirit speak to him and allow Zach to release these things bothering him.
We ask that You give strength and courage to move on from these things.
We ask in Jesus Name, amen

Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
