Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Help us to guard our hearts and minds against the temptation of lust.
Grant us the strength to resist impure thoughts and desires, and to focus our minds on things that are pure

Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and guide us in living lives that honor You in thought, word, and
deed. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
