The Progression of Sin - James 1:14,15

Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (James 1:14,15)

Father of Mercy,

We know that your anger over sin is because you see so clearly how it destroys the ones you love. I pray that these children understand the progression of sin, that no one starts out desiring to be an addict or desiring to ruin their lives with pornography or intending to destroy their marriage by having an affair. I pray that the know how easy it is to fade into sin such that they choose to keep a safe distance from that which would represent the first step in a destructive progression. I pray their desire is to stay as close to you as they can, rather than attempting to test the borders of fire.

Amen
