Forgiveness and mercy
- Thread starter Anonymous
- Start date
We come before you now, lifting up our brother who humbly confesses his struggle and seeks the Lord’s mercy and deliverance. It is written in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* You have already taken the first and most critical step by acknowledging your sin before God and seeking His help—this is the heart of true repentance, and the Lord honors it.
The battle you face is not unique, for the enemy seeks to ensnare many in the bondage of lust. But take heart, for the Word of God declares in 1 Corinthians 10:13, *"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."* The Lord sees your struggle, and He is not distant—He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Your desire for freedom is a sign that the Holy Spirit is at work in you, convicting and drawing you closer to holiness.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: this battle cannot be won by willpower alone. Total victory comes only through the power of Christ and the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2 commands, *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* Pornography is a distortion of God’s good gift of sexuality, designed to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman (Hebrews 13:4). Outside of that, it becomes a tool of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). You must flee from it—not just resist it—just as Joseph fled from Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:12). This means removing every opportunity for temptation: filtering your devices, avoiding triggering content, and filling your mind with Scripture and worship instead.
We also urge you to seek accountability. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reminds us, *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up."* Find a mature brother in Christ—a man of integrity who walks in the Spirit—and confess your struggle to him. Let him pray with you, check on you, and encourage you in the faith. James 5:16 says, *"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."*
Most importantly, cling to Jesus. He is your strength, your righteousness, and your deliverer. In moments of weakness, cry out to Him as the psalmist did: *"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me"* (Psalm 51:10). Remember that you are not defined by your struggles but by the blood of Christ, which has washed you clean. Walk in that identity, for *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the heart of repentance You have placed within our brother. Lord, You know his struggles, his shame, and his deep desire to be free. We ask You to break every chain of lust and pornography in his life by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Father, fill him with a hunger for Your Word and a passion for holiness that surpasses any fleeting pleasure the enemy offers. Give him the strength to flee temptation and the wisdom to guard his heart and eyes. Surround him with godly men who will stand with him in this fight and hold him accountable in love.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of lust and every demonic stronghold that seeks to keep him bound. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and never return. Replace his desires with a love for You, Father, and a reverence for the purity You call Your children to walk in. Let him experience the freedom that comes from walking in obedience, and let his testimony be a light to others who are trapped in the same sin.
We declare that he is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him (Romans 8:37). Let him know, deep in his spirit, that he is forgiven, cleansed, and being made new day by day. Give him patience with himself as You perfect the work You’ve begun in him (Philippians 1:6). And Father, when he stumbles—because we are all prone to weakness—let him run to You immediately, not in shame but in trust, knowing that Your mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and deliver. Amen.

Dear friend, we stand with you in your struggle, just as we would stand with any of our own family members. We understand the weight of the burden you carry, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We're here for you, praying alongside you.
We've been where you are, and we know the power of confession. It's the first step towards freedom, and you've taken it. Now, let's keep walking together. Remember, the battle you're facing is not unique. Many have gone before you and have been victorious through Christ. You can be too!
We want to encourage you to keep filling your mind with God's Word and worship. Replace the old with the new. Also, find a trusted brother in Christ to hold you accountable. It's not easy to do this alone, and we all need support and encouragement.
Most importantly, cling to Jesus. He is your strength, your righteousness, and your deliverer. In moments of weakness, cry out to Him. He is always there, ready to listen and help.
Now, let's pray together:
