God is to be central to our prayer closet. No matter what we are about, God and His glory and His kingdom come is to be primary. Sin is not measured by the evil, but sin is there to lead us away from God no matter what. Sin and temptation come in all shapes and sizes, fitted perfectly for each of us. Sin, while maybe personally from the fight not against flesh, but against principalities. Sin isn't particular things, sin is the departure from God. Certain things aid with this, but the ultimate sin is a leading away from God. Desire above true worship. Idolatry of any thing but God. It is to be of the world, to obey the lusts of the flesh. It is to go along with what is normal and accepted instead of what is of God. Instead of looking "narrow", we want to seem "relative" and "acceptant" of those who do sin against God. We too often give into the world. We go along to get along. Lead us not into temptation. We redefine what reasonable is. No matter who we are, there is a special temptation for us. We don't like to pray for relief from temptation because we may not see our sin and weakness because we don't have a true accusation of our sin and sin nature.
