A Prayer For Living Responsibly

Father, we pray that You will empower us to live responsible lives so that we can be living examples of what it means to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Help us to cast down temptations that weaken us by immersing ourselves in Scripture that speaks to that sinful behavior, by making ourselves accountable to a mature believer who can help, and by spending much time in communion with You loving You far more than the sin that besets us. We want to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness so that we will be kingdom servants pursuing righteous living and providing positive examples for those whom we might influence. In the name of Your Son, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
