DAY 6-POWER OF A PRAYING WIFE (PRAY FOR THE REMOVAL OF TEMPTATION)

Temptation can come in many forms: some can be lured by money and power, alcohol or drugs, food addictions, or lust and that's just to name a few. So, we must come to the realization that this world is full of temptations. The thing we must learn is how to handle them when they arise. This is where prayer, watchfulness, and open communication become imperative. Luke 22:40 says to "pray that you may not enter into temptation." And Mark 14:38 says, "the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak."
Have a heart to heart talk with your spouse and confess any weaknesses so that you may pray for one another. If this is not possible at this time, then encourage your spouse to get together with trusted believers with whom he/she can pray.

Prayer by: Stormie Omartian
Lord, I pray that You would strengthen my husband (name of person you are praying for) to resist any temptation that comes his way. Stamp it out of his mind before it ever reaches his heart or personal experience. Lead him not into temptation, but deliver him from evils such as adultery, pornography, drugs, alcohol, food addiction, gambling, and perversion. Remove temptation especially in the area of (name specific temptation). Make him strong where he is weak. Help him to rise above anything that erects itself as a stronghold in his life. May he say, "I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away: it shall not cling to me" (Psalm 101:3).
Lord, You've said that "Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls" (Proverbs 25:28). I pray that (person you are praying for) will not be broken down by the power of evil, but raised up by the power of God. Establish a wall of protection around him. Fill him with Your Spirit and flush out all that is not of You. Help him to take charge over his own spirit and have self-control to resist anything and anyone who becomes a lure. May he "abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good" (Romans 12:9). I pray that he will be repulsed by tempting situations. Give him courage to reject them. Teach him to walk in the Spirit so he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. AMEN!
