I dont like asking for things for myself, however, i am doing something wrong and I feel I need prayer to help. I have only one sin left and I can't seem to do away with it. I have given myself to Jesus and my heart is HIS but this thing has a hold on me and I dont know what to do. I am soooo ready to be with HIM and im tired of disappointing HIM. im afraid of going to hell. Maybe im not praying correctly? So will you please pray that HIS children obtain strength to go on and are healed from all this earthly sin? Thank you.

What ever the one sin you are talking about you meed to fight it or weaken your self against it !! first is resist it not out of anger just dont do it the more you resist it the less it gets for temptation , not sure how you can say 1sin left?? we r human we sin with out even knowing sometimes .. anything to do with the flesh is asin ,, read the book of enoch , or about paul and peter , saul was realy his name .. ipray a prayer to you that what ever weakness you gain new insight to combat this issue , let not fear banish your faith confront it defeat it if god say we can we most certainly can , love your self as if you where a good freind be your own best freind .iputting all sorts out here , for you , maybe something will help you

godbless you .

Just to add to Adam's great word of encouragement to you: your declaration of your love to the Lord is very real as is your grief over this besetting sin that has its hold on you. All I can say is, you're not going to Hell as you have laid your heart bare to the Lord over this matter & are constantly in prayer about it, demonstrating your sorrow. Those destined for Hell are those who reject God's Love in Jesus & those who give no regard to committing sin as if God doesn't notice. You are well aware of it & troubled by it & that is the work of the Spirit in you.

God sees the anguish of our spirits over sin - that's why He sends His Spirit to be in you - and God doesn't demand our correct articulating of our needs or what words we use in prayer. God the Spirit & God the Father, are One - they are not independent of each other - what One feels so does the Other; what One knows so does the Other. His help may come just in an instant, or it may be through another person or another means, or it might even be what He puts in your heart to do. Look for it, persist in reading the Word, using the Spirit's Sword against the enemy of our souls, avoid the thoughts or actions, or places that might lead you to that area of weakness causing sin.

It is through our hatred of sin, our resisting the Devil, our avoiding of his traps, that we find the Power of God into victory. Some believe that to just rest back, do nothing about sin, & wait for God's Help is the way to victory. This never works - we have to be proactive in dealing with sin. Even if that one awful sin is finally dealt a death blow, we know the father of sins is not far away to bring on another. So dear sister, be watchful & know you're in a battle, but you are not alone in it - your Lord is engaged with you in all that afflicts you.

Thank you for respondinh and your words of understanding, love and encouragement.

Dear Diane, the fact that you care and are concerned enough to post a prayer request shows where your heart is. That's a good thing. Christians are not immune to temptation, sin, and spiritual strongholds, but should try to do everything in your power to break them. Paul was a strong Christian, but still described how he struggled with the fleshly temptations of sin. There are general Christian addition support groups through church like Celebrate Recovery that may offer helpful support. Ephesians 6:10-18

It is my belief that if you have become a Christian (Link and genuinely following Christ then by definition you are Christian and are saved by grace and can have confidence in your salvation. 1 John 5:13. Hebrews 4:16, Philippians 4:13. I believe following Christ is an active pursuit and we always have room to grow and mature and be more like Him.

God bless...
