Prayer For Protection Against Temptation

Most Precious Lord Jesus�
Gentle And Wonderful God�
Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit�
Temptation is around me.
Satan is continually bombarding me and striking at me with temptation in an attempt to kill me and maim my soul.
I come to you this hour seeking your help.
In your name and by your power, I call upon you to protect me from the temptation Satan is putting in front of me.
I need your safety.
I need the safety of your protective arm.
When I am poor, I want riches.
When I am rich, I want more wealth.
When I am powerless in earthly ways, I want more earthly power.
When I am full of earthly power, I am greedy for more.
When I am with others, I am tempted to use them for my selfish gain.
I am tempted to put my life and my needs first rather than putting the life and needs of others first.
Before me there is the glamour and attractiveness of sinful desires.
Every hour I get closer and closer to the edge of this pit of sinful lusts.
Please help me step back and step away from this sin.
In your name and by your power, give me the power to see the truth about the glamour of sin.
In your name and by your power, I come against every dark temptation and I place all these influences at the foot of your cross.
Thank you for watching over me.
Thank you for helping me at all times and in every circumstance.
All these things we humbly pray in the name of our most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, our Mighty God, and our Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom we can rely.
Amen
