Praying for Our Church | Day 24

Praying for our Freedom from besetting sins 

Lord, I lift up every one of us who struggle with sin issues. Keep us from the enemy’s scheme of condemnation. Grant us repentance so that we can escape the trap of the evil one. Thank You that sin was done away with on the cross and that we are no longer slaves to it. Help us to throw off everything that entangles—help us run the race with perseverance. (Ro. 8:1; 2 Tim. 2:25, 26; Ro. 6:6; Heb. 12:1)

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a]

2 Timothy 2:25, 26

correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,

and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

Romans 6:6

We know that our old self[a] was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
