Lord God, you know
the temptations I'm facing. You know how they weaken my will, distress my heart
and wound my conscience. For my temptations make me so painfully aware of my
own weakness that sometimes I find it difficult even to come before you in prayer,
knowing how unworthy I am of your goodness.
But you are a God of
love and forgiveness, a God of strength and hope, and our faith in you is our
rock in times of trials. That's why I lift my eyes to you and I pray with
David: "From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is
overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
Though the waves of
temptation threaten to overwhelm me, bear with me, faithful God, strengthen my
heart and sharpen my will until the storm passes and the sea is calm again. And
even if I stumble on the way, do not let me fall, but stay by my side until all
my stumbling blocks are torn to pieces and I can find peace in my soul again.
Just like you were
with your son Jesus in the wilderness, be with me in this trial and use this
temptation for my growth. You have the power to turn even evil into good. It's
not in my own strength, but in yours I trust, my Lord. This is my battle, not yours. Help me fight it so I can rejoice in victory.
AMEN
