Key Word/Phrase: Sexual Purity

Key Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:22, Ephesians 5:3

Fee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not once be named among you, as becometh saints.

Prayer Guide for Church Members:

“God, keep my pastor pure from sexual sin. Strengthen him in times of temptation. Let him recognize the temptation to stray from You. Protect him from the strange woman. The statistics of pastors having affairs are frightening; don’t let my pastor be one of the ones who fall! Prompt him to instill safeguards in his life through a close relationship with You. Help him to be faithful in prayer and in Scripture memory. Give him an  accountability partner that will sharpen and encourage him.  Draw him close to you and let him emulate Your holiness. Bless his union with his wife- keep the enemy from spoiling the beautiful gift of marriage that you have given him. God, keep my pastor pure from sexual sin. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
