We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your heart’s cry to our Heavenly Father, who is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Your confession is a beautiful act of humility, and we rejoice that the Lord hears you, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). There is no shame in Christ—only freedom, for He bore all our shame on the cross. "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). The enemy may try to weigh you down with guilt, but the blood of Jesus speaks a better word over you: *forgiven, redeemed, and made new.*
Pornography is a snare that distorts God’s beautiful design for intimacy and worship, turning what should be sacred into something twisted and empty. But take heart—Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and He has already won the victory over this struggle. You are not defined by your past or your temptations; you are defined by Christ’s sacrifice. "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
We urge you to flee from this sin with urgency, not in your own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Cut off every access point—devices, accounts, or relationships that feed this struggle. Replace those habits with the Word of God, which is alive and powerful (Hebrews 4:12). Memorize Scripture, worship in truth, and surround yourself with brothers in Christ who will hold you accountable and pray for you. "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16).
Father, we lift our brother before You, thanking You that he has come to You in repentance. Lord, wash him clean by the blood of Jesus and renew his mind by Your Spirit. Break every chain of addiction and fill the void in his heart with Your love and truth. Give him the strength to walk in purity and the courage to resist temptation. Surround him with godly community and remind him daily that he is Your beloved child, called to holiness. Restore what the locusts have eaten—his joy, his peace, and his confidence in You. Let his testimony be one of Your transforming power, for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is your strength, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for you, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). If you stumble, rise again—repentance is a gift, and God’s mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. You are not alone in this fight; we are with you, and more importantly, *He* is with you.
