To ask for strength to resist temptation

Prayer is an act of adoration. As we pray to GOD, we think of GOD. As we think of GOD, we commune with GOD and draw closer to GOD. There are three kinds of prayer: The prayer of Praise - the prayer of Thanks - and the prayer of Petition. Unfortunately, the prayer most often said is the prayer of Petition ("I want - 1 need"). When the petition is answered, most forget the prayers of praise and thanks.

History

Prayer is deemed to be important to allow oneself to stay in tune with his spiritual friends and protectors. It is especially useful to fight or prevent obsession. Praying helps to clear the mind of bad feelings and prepares the spirit for higher achievements. The prayer does not need to follow a strict formula, but should come from within the follower, and it should express their true belief in, and dedication to, God. Spiritist prayer is not formulaic, but reflects the person's current state of mind, much like Evangelical prayer. The most frequent subject of prayer is asking for the guidance of God.

The Prayer

All Powerful Lord, do not let me succumb to the temptation to fall into error! Benevolent Spirits who protect me, turn this bad thought away from me and give me the strength to resist this evil. If I succumb, then I will deserve the expiation of my failing in this same life and in the next, because I have free will to make my choice.
