How to pray in resisting temptation?

Here is a prayer you can use to ask for God’s help in resisting temptation:

Dear God,

I know that temptation is a part of life, and I pray that you would give me the strength and wisdom to resist it. I know that your Word says, “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” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

I trust in your faithfulness and ask that you would provide a way of escape for me whenever I am faced with temptation. Help me to turn to you and your Word for strength and guidance, and to rely on your Holy Spirit to empower me to resist temptation.

I pray that you would protect me from the devil’s schemes and that you would give me the courage to stand firm in my faith. I pray that you would fill my heart and mind with your love and truth, so that I will not be swayed by temptation.

Thank you for your grace and help, and for the promise that you will never leave me or forsake me. I pray all of these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
