I need you all to pray for me that I be free of all my lustful desires and my self-righteousness by midnight tonight.
I want to wake up tomorrow as a new man, with the humility of a little child.
I'm TIRED of being enslaved to constant mental patterns in my head of comparing myself with others.
I'm TIRED of getting sexually aroused when I see a beautiful woman in tight pants, or when I see a picture of a woman in tight clothes. I want to be like I was when I was a little child, in which I NEVER got sexually aroused at the sight of a sexy woman.
I want to lose all my cravings for pornography. I'm tired of being enslaved to the patterns of oogling. All that does it take my mind off Christ. If those women want to show off their 'assets' that's THEIR business. But I want to become like unto a child who could CARE LESS.
I want all this by tomorrow morning.
Please pray for me. For with God all things are possible. He can do anything. He can make it happen inside of twenty-four hours.
He is able to do exceeding abundantly all that we ask or think.
Also, if I wake up tomorrow as a completely refined humble child-like creature, I will be desirrous to glorify the Lord that much more.
I can't go on another day living in this current cavity of misery. I am at the end of my rope. I need humility and mortification of sexual lust BADLY.
Please pray for me. Like I said, you all stand to benefit from this, because the Lord will reward you for your prayers, and I will be glorifying the Lord like it's going out of style.
Amen.

The Lord is glorified when He answers prayers of his children.
This verse best explains it:
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
[John 14:13]

The Lord has a reputation of answering the prayers of those who are desperate for relief from sin.
If He did not answer the prayers of those who want to be free from sin, then that would greatly hurt his reputation.
Now, I might be impatient for wanting to be cleansed from pride and lust overnight, but I know I will be eventually free from those things.
Imagine what a God he would be if he did not answer those prayers.
I'm not asking for a thorn to be removed from my flesh, I'm asking to be made better equipped to serve the Lord and glorify his name.
I'm not all that useful to him with all the self-righteousness and pornographic lust in me. I need to be cleansed from those things.

I thank you for your prayers, and the prayers of others as well. I can use all the prayers I can get. My prayers to the Lord are not always the greatest. But many people's prayers availeth much.
