Prayers To Break Every Chain Of Temptation
In The Face Of Temptation
Heavenly Father, I come before Your throne of grace, fully aware of my weaknesses and shortcomings. Help me, Oh Loving Father, to break every chain of temptation. Tear down these strongholds that are weakening me. Bind every evil spirit that attempts to lure me into the dark abyss.
Every day, as I navigate through this earthly journey, I am bombarded by temptations that challenge my resolve to stay on the narrow path. I find myself often ensnared by worldly desires, pulled away from Your embrace, and lured into actions and thoughts that do not honor You. The weight of these chains feels unbearable at times.
But in the midst of my struggles, I’m reminded of Your unwavering love and the power of Your might. You, O Lord, who conquered death, surely can deliver me from the snares that seek to entrap me.
As I lift this prayer, I seek Your strength, guidance, and wisdom to overcome the temptations that persistently knock at my door. Help me to resist, to stand firm in faith, and to always choose Your ways above all else.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
James 1:14-15 But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Prayer for Deliverance from Temptation
Heavenly Father, I come before You acknowledging my struggles with temptation. These chains seem unbreakable, and I often feel powerless against them. Yet, I believe in Your promise to provide a way out of every temptation.
I ask for Your strength and guidance to navigate through these challenges. Help me to recognize the moments of weakness and to seek Your face in those critical times.
I confess my sins to You, knowing that You are faithful and just to forgive. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Teach me to walk in Your ways and to resist the enticements that lead me away from You. Break the chains of temptation in my life, and set me free to live in the abundance of Your grace and righteousness.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Praying For Discernment In Times of Temptation
Lord, grant me the discernment to recognize temptations for what they truly are – snares set by the enemy to derail me from Your purpose. When my flesh cries out for what it wants, let Your Spirit within me sound a louder alarm, calling me back to righteousness.
May I not be deceived by the fleeting pleasures of sin, but instead, let me see the long-term consequences of yielding to temptation.
Equip me with a discerning spirit that distinguishes right from wrong, truth from deceit, and godliness from wickedness. As I make choices daily, may I always opt for the path that leads me closer to You, even when it’s contrary to my human desires.

Seeking Refuge In God’s Word
Lord, Your Word says that it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. When temptations come my way, let me turn to the Scriptures for guidance and strength.
Implant Your Word deep within my heart, so when I’m on the verge of succumbing, the truths of the Bible spring forth, guiding me back to righteousness.
Just as Jesus quoted scripture when tempted by the devil in the wilderness, equip me with verses to combat the lies and deceptions that assail me. Let Your Word be my ultimate source of strength, my go-to refuge in times of temptation, and my reminder of the promises You have for those who remain faithful.
