Spurgeon's Prayer: Victory Over Sin

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
— 1 Corinthians 15:57 (BSB)

If you have no opposition in the place you serve, you’re serving in the wrong place.
— Charles Spurgeon

Lord, we come to You in the name of Jesus, knowing that in Him, we have victory over sin. We recognize that though we are redeemed, we still struggle with sin and temptation. We pray that You would deliver us from the sin that so easily entangles us. We ask for Your help in overcoming the sins of our temperament, the sins of our environment, and the sins that lurk within our own hearts.

Father, strengthen us for the spiritual battles we face each day. We are weak in ourselves, but You are strong. We know that through Christ, we are more than conquerors. Equip us with the heavenly weapons we need to cut down the giants of sin that rise up against us. Help us to resist temptation and to stand firm in the power of Your might.

Lord, we are determined to be holy. By Your grace, we will not rest until we are free from every sin that seeks to take root in our lives. We pray for Your Holy Spirit to guide and empower us, giving us the strength to fight against sin and the wisdom to flee from temptation.

We know that we cannot do this on our own. We need Your grace every day to overcome the challenges we face. But we trust in Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. You have given us the victory in Christ, and we will walk in that victory each day. Amen.
