Worldly Influences

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guarding our spirit from and against influences of the carnal world and the selfish desires caused by covetousness and hate and greed entering our hearts and minds through evil temptations and bad judgment.
Dear Lord please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do, and please may Your Holy Spirit overcome all evil temptations that try to enter our thoughts and minds, thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
It is the oldest temptation in the world, and the most fruitful parent of sins, and the most dangerous temptation- in that it contains so much truth- to regard self rather than God as the center in which spiritual effort must originate. --R.H. Benson

KJV*
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
