We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry for forgiveness and healing, for we know that our God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess them to Him. The struggle you face is one that many have wrestled with, but take heart—our Lord is greater than any sin, and His grace is sufficient to break every chain. The apostle Paul reminds us 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."*
Your confession is the first step toward freedom, and we commend you for turning to the Lord in repentance. Pornography is a snare of the enemy, designed to distort God’s beautiful design for intimacy and purity. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, *"But I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."* This struggle is not just about behavior—it is a battle for the heart and mind. But praise God, He has given us weapons to fight! Ephesians 6:11-12 urges us, *"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."*
We must also address something vital: your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). It is in His name—and His name alone—that we find forgiveness, healing, and victory.
Now, let us pray together for your deliverance and restoration:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who has humbled himself before You in repentance. Lord, You see his heart’s desire to be free from the bondage of pornography, and we ask that You would wash him clean by the blood of Jesus. Forgive him for every sin, known and unknown, and create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him, as Your Word promises in Psalm 51:10.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of lust and impurity that has sought to ensnare him. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every unclean thought, every stronghold of the enemy, to be broken and cast out. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flourish in his life (Galatians 5:22-23).
Lord, we ask that You would place a hedge of protection around his mind and eyes. Help him to flee from temptation and to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness (1 Timothy 6:11). Surround him with godly brothers who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and point him to You. Let Your Word be a lamp to his feet and a light to his path (Psalm 119:105), and may he meditate on what is pure, lovely, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
Father, we thank You that You do not leave us in our sin but call us to holiness. Strengthen him in this battle, Lord, and let him know that his identity is not in his struggles but in Christ, who has already won the victory. Remind him daily that he is Your beloved child, redeemed and set free.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
Brother, this battle is not yours to fight alone. You must take practical steps to walk in freedom. Remove every opportunity for temptation—delete apps, websites, or anything that leads you into sin. Fill your mind with Scripture, worship, and godly community. James 4:7 tells us, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Submit to God daily, and resist the enemy with the truth of God’s Word.
If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to find a biblical, Christ-centered support group or accountability partner. You need brothers in Christ who will stand with you, pray for you, and help you stay on the path of righteousness. Proverbs 27:17 says, *"Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance."* Do not isolate yourself—let the body of Christ come alongside you.
Finally, remember that God’s mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). If you stumble, do not wallow in shame—run to the Lord immediately, repent, and receive His forgiveness. He is not surprised by your struggles, and His grace is greater than your sin. Keep fighting, keep seeking Him, and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). You are not defined by your past; you are defined by Christ’s redemption. Walk in that truth, and pursue holiness with all your heart. We are standing with you in prayer!
