Requesting prayers for my spiritual struggles (lust and slothfulness) and further education

Greetings, everyone! I had posted in this sub a year ago and I am grateful for the responses and prayers. Things have been slightly better since then and all praise and glory be to God ❤️ relationships with my parents and my friends from abroad (from the Balkans and America, for context) are better than they used to be. Also, I got baptized on Feb 2025!

2025 was quite the year. Better than 2024 but wasn’t out of the woods yet. In the whole year, there were numerous attacks from the devil and his minions. In every way shape or form. I had been trying my best to be consistent with reading the Bible and praying (it was definitely better than before) and my God hadn’t left me

Early this year I had to encounter a scare that could’ve affected my future but the good God freed me (and my fam) from the hunter’s net and set me on firm ground

However, Satan seems to be pulling out his trump card: lust, and I struggle a lot with it and been struggling with it for months now. I have been praying that the Lord grant me strength and remove this; heck I even made “pacts” to not fall for em but yeah it’s so bad I defaulted on them. Please pray regarding that for this stranger, prayer warriors, lest Satan finally steal what’s meant to be mine and I disappoint God (not like I haven’t been doing that but you get the point). I feel really ashamed to even come to His presence, like Adam hiding from God because he was naked, after eating the forbidden fruit. I also struggle with procrastinating and laziness and I’m aware they’re sins (late realizations) for that hinders me from achieving my true calling; please pray regarding that as well 🙏

I also ask for prayers regarding my further education. Now I’ve had two dreams where one showed a flag with a beautiful blue with stars and gold accents (can’t think of anything else other than the EU flag) and another one where I distinctly saw Greek and Euro coins. My heart is set on Europe but as of yet I don’t know where in Europe. Please pray that the Lord show a direction, where to apply for, and all

This is a much shorter post than last time and I hope that this is acceptable (I bet some wouldn’t wanna read a wall of text)

Thank you and God bless you all!

\[TLDR: praise be to God for granting a smoother 2025 and being with me. I ask for prayers, for strength to battle lust and slothfulness, lest Satan win over me, and I ask for prayers regarding my further education in Europe \]
