Father in Heaven, You are greater than any struggle, greater than anything we desire for ourselves, and greater You will always be above any other. God, Your power is amazing, and all You’ve created for Yourself brings us to our need for more of You in our lives. We thank You for making us powerless that we may turn to You for strength, energy, and motivation. LORD, You made us with purpose and You made us to worship, so we choose to worship You, our Creator, and Finisher of life. God, Your forgiveness is great, so we leave our burdens and pains with You whether we were the ones who wronged others or we were the ones who were wronged. Search our hearts Father for all impurity, all hate, all judgement, all obsession, all disappointments, all hurts, all regrets, and all negative habits that make us unproductive in our spiritual walk. We bring them to You who takes away the sins of the world. We lift up our friend who is battling with their sexuality and we also lift up those who are in the same situation. LORD, let Your Son Jesus be their all, let them find peace, contentment, and a sense of newness when they put their trust in Him. God we ask that Your Son reveals Himself to be the only satisfier who can fulfill every empty area within their heart, please assure them that Your love alone heals and restores, purifies and strengthens what is out of their hands, and give them a childlike faith to trust You at all times when situations call for humility. Whenever they are led to temptation, use what little strength they have to remember what Your Son did for them at the Cross and deliver them from their own shortcomings. Make them to be more resilient than the time before to refuse Satan’s schemes and confidently rest in Your truths and promises as nothing else is more freeing. LORD, you are patient with us as You are will all, because You do not condemn but convict. Let Your love pour on them through people and let it be so evident in this person’s life because they desire to live righteously for You. Bless them Father with a mind that’s focused on living consistently with intent and deliver them from their homosexuality. Guard their hearts, their eyes, their thoughts, so that their efforts work accordingly to Your will. Help them to grow with faith, hope, and love, knowing that all things work for those who love Your Son Jesus. In His mighty name, we pray, Amen.
Psalm 119:25-29 I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word. I gave an account of my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Cause me to understand the way of your precepts, that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds. My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law.
Isaiah 40:28-31 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Colossians 3:5-6 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
