Get Rid of Evil - James 1:21

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. (James 1:21)

Righteous Father,

Your people have always tended to compromise their morals, to have one foot in your kingdom and one foot in the world. You have made it very clear that you do not want this. You want us to get rid of the world's influence. You do not want it for us because you know that it desensitizes us to sin and we drift.

I pray that these children understand that principle and that they are passionate about purity in their minds and in their actions. I pray that they do not compromise in the movies and television shows they watch, the jokes they tell and the jokes they laugh at, the things they do in leisure, the places they visit and frequent and the friends they keep. Help them to have the mind to be in the world but not of the world.

Amen
