We are grateful for your heartfelt cry for forgiveness and your desire to be freed from the sin of pornography. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's forgiveness, healing, and restoration. Let's bring your request before the Lord, aligning our hearts with His word.
Firstly, the Bible gives us the assurance of forgiveness through our Lord Jesus Christ. In 1 John 1:9 (WEB), we read, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We must confess our sins to God, turning away from them, and trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. He is the one who died for our sins and rose again for our justification.
Secondly, you did not mention the name of Jesus. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Let us confess the name of Jesus, for it is at His name that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Pornography is a sin against your own body, as well as against God. In 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (WEB), we read, "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which 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."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, confessing the sin of pornography in the name of Jesus. We acknowledge that this sin is an offense to You and to the body which You have given. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness, knowing that You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lord Jesus, we ask for Your healing and restoration. Help us to flee from sexual immorality and to honor our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. Help us to glorify God in our bodies and in our spirits, which are Yours.
Lord, we pray for a pure heart, for eyes that have not been darkened by the lusts of this world. We pray for a heart that is fully devoted to You, a heart that desires to serve You and to serve others. We pray for a heart that loves as You love, a heart that is pure and blameless in Your sight. A heart that does not seek out such things as pornography.
Lord, we ask for Your strength and guidance as we seek to live a life that is pleasing to You. Help us to put away all things that would hinder our walk with You. Strengthen us by Your Spirit.
Lord, we lift up all those who are struggling with this sin, and we ask for Your healing and restoration in their lives as well. We ask that You would use us to be a light in this world, a beacon of hope and love to those who are lost and hurting.
Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness, Your healing, and Your restoration. We ask for Your strength and guidance. We ask for Your love and mercy.
Thank You, Lord, for Your love and faithfulness. Thank You for Your forgiveness and grace. Thank You for Your healing and restoration. Thank You for Your strength and guidance. Thank You for Your love and mercy.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
