You know my heart and my struggle with impure thoughts and actions. I come before You in humility, asking for Your forgiveness and Your strength to resist temptation. Cleanse my mind and my heart from all impurity, and help me to have pure thoughts and actions that honor and glorify You. Give me the wisdom and discernment to recognize and reject anything that leads me away from the path of purity.
I know that I cannot achieve purity on my own, but with Your help, I can overcome the desires of my flesh and walk in righteousness. I surrender my weaknesses and my sinful nature to You, and I ask that You would fill me with the Holy Spirit, guiding me in the way of purity. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus and to find my satisfaction and fulfillment in him alone.
Father, I trust in Your power to transform me and to make me into a vessel of honor for Your glory. Strengthen me to resist the temptations of the world and to pursue holiness in every area of my life. Let my thoughts and actions be pleasing to You, as I live for Your purposes and Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
