God I am sorry that I can't do what you ask of me. I want you to cleanse and restore me but the memories of what he did to me make it seem an impossible task. I know you want to be the top priority and that it hurts you when I turn elsewhere in dark times. I pray that you will help me to give you control. I'm sorry.

Dear Lord please be close to us as we have been robbed of this huge sum of money which we cannot get back in any way. We feel so helpless with no one to turn to; we feel very anxious about the loss of this money. Lord please please hold our hands. You said you had prayed for Peter when he was about to be tested. We need you so desperately, more than ever to pray for us. Please strengthen our faith. Our faith is so fragile and weak. Please help our unbelief. Please get the money back for us from this person who has cheated us. We know you can. Please be our strength and our peace. Please do not pass us by. May we know that you work all things for good for those who love you and who have been called according to your purposes. Amen.

Dear Lord, Help me to know you more and stronger than ever. Relight my desire to chase and seek you in more things. I'm a small group leader, and lately have found myself relying more and more on my own knowledge and wordly wisdom -but I know this isn't what you would want me to do. Help me seek you more. Also Lord, as the world puts pressure on me and I feel bowed down and weary and negative, help me be lifted up and above such negativity - remind me who I am! I know you have a plan for me, but sometimes I struggle to feel it - help me Lord. I want to lean on you more. Help me to have a more personal relationship with you Lord - more in my heart than in my head. I love you Lord

I have been struggling with an additiction to internet pornagraphy & masturbation for quite a number of years, even though I am a christian and love God with all my heart. I pray for strength to say no, but when it happens I'm always left feeling torn with guilt & shame, and wondering how God could love someone like me. I don't want to give in, but I feel so shackled. Even when I come home from church or small group and have just experienced an amazing time with God, the temptation can still sneak up. Please pray that God will take these desires away and set me free from this bondage. Father, forgive me for this sin...... Steven

Lord, Father I do what I do not want to do. You have said to me be holy as you are holy - and I have not been. Lord look at me turn your face toward me and forgive my sin. I find it hard to say that as I find it very hard to feel forgiven Lord. Lord I struggle with the internet and things that shouldn't be looked at, consequently lord that affects my mind and immoral thoughts come to it. father I do want to be loved and I know this is a poor substitute but it does feel as if it has some hold through the physical side of things Lord - being a bloke pressure builds up and in the end I give in and dont really want to, Father forgive me, Jesus intercede for me I pray, Let me have that assurance that I can forget what is behind and press on - please Lord I know you've broken the power of sin, help me to work out how to use that and to be strong enough to obey - give me your holy spirit in greater measure so that I can fight off the temptation with you willing me to do right, In Jesus Name Amen

Father, help me to be strong in your name. I am so overcome with apathy at work: I struggle to get my daily tasks done, because I am so unhappy. I am letting you down, and deceiving others. I fritter my time away, push work under the carpet and leave it unnoticed. It's irresponsible and unworthy behaviour, regardless of my unhappiness. Help me to be more conscientious, despite the adversity I face. Help me to do a good job, regardless of how hard I find it to motivate myself. Father, if it is your will that I leave this job for a new direction in life, help me to hear your voice more clearly, to giude me in the direction you would that I take. If though, you want me to stay here, then please, please help me to have the strength, to see the good in it, and to grow in love for those I work with. I can't do it on my own Lord - I feel as though I'm drowning here. Through Jesus may I find strength to follow the path you have laid for me, whatever it may be. I love you Father x

Dear Lord I have spent the morning praying this, but wanted to put it in writing because I am really really sorry and would appreciate prayer support from other Christians on this site. I grieved your Holy Spirit last night - I met with a friend and I gossiped and was negative about Church, saying what was wrong with it. I sowed seeds of discord and gossip and trouble. I also spoke out against someone in my family and am now worried that this will get back to them. I never meant to hurt them, but I just wasn't thinking straight. I've now told three people in the Church about my concerns about my Aunt and I am so sorry Lord. Please forgive me and please bind any negativity that is arising at this present time from my sin. Please send your shield of protection around those I spoke about especially J, G and M. I'm really sorry Lord. Lord you know that I am not usually like this and this friend does bring out the worst in me, although of course I am responsible for my own sin. Help me Lord to know what to do in future - how can I love my friend but keep away from gossip and negativity? Please make this clear to me as I did ask for your protection last night but I still made so many mistakes. Please take away guilt and shame as I know they are not of you. The cross covers all my sin, but please know I am truly sorry and please have mercy on me and those I spoke against. I love you. xx

Dear Lord, Please help me I cannot continue to pretend that there is nothing wrong. I am definitely getting closer and aloser to doing something that will hurt you and I don't want to. Please Lord, strenghten my weak weak flesh. My spirit is willing to do anything for you but my pathetic worthless flesh won't let me. I try and try and if I get relief, these temptations come back again to haunt me. The devil keeps trying to tell me something I'm not. I choose to refuse to accept this and Lord, please help me to keep it this way. I love you so much, Lord and nothing else comes close and nothing ever will.
