A PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE FAMILY

O loving Jesus Christ, I praise and thank You for this time of prayer. I thank You for protecting us to lead a healthy life. Today I have certain evil habits, which You do not like, that I find impossible to give up. Have mercy on me. Even though I made up my mind to give it up several times, I keep doing it again and again. This habit affects me and the family dependent on me. Help me and deliver me from the habit of drinking and also remove from me the desire to see pornography. Do away with the evil powers that give me this desire. As I see others who are good, I do want to be like them. But I fail in my attempts. Have mercy on me. I am not able to overcome this tendency in me even though I fast and pray. O Jesus, help me to give up this habit which spoils my body. I humble myself before You so that my thoughts might be perfect. You alone can deliver me. O Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. I become ferocious and feel hurt when others point to my faults. You alone know my thoughts. In Your mercy, show favour to me. Sometimes I think of ways in which I can have deliverance from these evil habits. Have mercy on me, Jesus. Have mercy on me. My parents are greatly worried because of my evil habits. My wife and children also are greatly upset. I know that, but I have no deliverance. If You say a word, it will happen. I plead at Your feet. O Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and deliver me so that I can lead a witnessing life after deliverance. In the name of Jesus Christ, I make this prayer, O good Father. Amen.
