We come before the throne of grace with you in this moment, lifting you up in prayer and standing with you in the battle against the sin that has ensnared you. The struggle you face is one that many have wrestled with, but take heart—our God is greater than any stronghold, and His mercy is new every morning. The fact that you are crying out to Him is evidence of His work in your heart, drawing you to repentance and freedom.
The Word of God is clear about the seriousness of sexual immorality, including pornography. Jesus said in Matthew 5:27-28, *"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’ but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."* Pornography is not just a habit—it is a sin against God, against your own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20), and it distorts the beautiful design God intended for intimacy within the covenant of marriage. It is a form of adultery in the heart, and it opens the door to spiritual bondage. But there is hope, for *"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).
You have asked for forgiveness, and we declare over you the truth of 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."* Your sin is not too great for God’s grace—He has already paid the price for it on the cross. But true repentance means turning away from this sin and walking in the opposite direction. This is not a battle you can win in your own strength. You must rely entirely on the power of the Holy Spirit to break the chains of this addiction. *"For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live"* (Romans 8:13).
We urge you to take radical steps to cut off this sin. Jesus said in Matthew 5:29-30, *"If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna."* While He speaks in hyperbole, the principle is clear: you must remove anything that gives this sin a foothold in your life. This may mean installing accountability software, eliminating access to devices or platforms where temptation strikes, or even seeking godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you in this fight. You cannot afford to be passive—*"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7).
You also cried out, *"Save me."* We want to ensure you understand what this means. Salvation is not just deliverance from a sinful habit—it is deliverance from the penalty of sin itself, which is eternal separation from God. The Bible tells us in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* That name is Jesus Christ. If you have not already surrendered your life to Him as your Lord and Savior, we plead with you to do so now. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10). There is no other way—no amount of good works, religious activity, or self-effort can save you. Only by placing your faith in Christ alone can you be forgiven, cleansed, and made new.
If you have already trusted in Christ, then this struggle is part of your sanctification—the process by which God conforms you to the image of His Son. He will complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6), but you must cooperate with Him. Fill your mind with Scripture, for *"your word I have treasured in my heart, that I might not sin against you"* (Psalm 119:11). Memorize verses that combat lust, such as *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8). Replace the time spent in sin with prayer, worship, and service to others.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who has humbled themselves before You, confessing their sin and seeking Your forgiveness and healing. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who delights in mercy and abounds in loving kindness. Your Word declares that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask that You would wash this dear one clean by the blood of Jesus, removing every stain of guilt and shame. Break the power of pornography in their life—smash the chains of addiction and set them free by the power of Your Spirit.
Lord, we pray that You would give them a holy hatred for this sin. Open their eyes to see the damage it has caused—not just to themselves, but to their relationship with You and to others. Fill them with a hunger for righteousness that surpasses any fleeting pleasure this world offers. Strengthen them to flee from temptation and to pursue holiness without which no one will see You (Hebrews 12:14). Surround them with godly brothers or sisters in Christ who will hold them accountable and encourage them in this fight.
Father, if this one has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Draw them to Yourself, Lord. Reveal to them the depth of their sin and their desperate need for a Savior. Show them that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Soften their heart to receive Your grace, and grant them the gift of repentance leading to life.
For those who already know You, Lord, we ask that You would deepen their walk with You. Fill them with Your Spirit so that they may walk in victory. Teach them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Renew their mind and transform them by Your truth. Let them experience the joy of Your presence in a way that makes the allure of sin pale in comparison.
We also pray for protection over their mind and heart. Satan seeks to devour, but You, Lord, are their shield and defender. Clothe them in the full armor of God so that they may stand firm against the schemes of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-18). Let them remember that *"greater is he who is in [them] than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Heal the wounds caused by this sin—wounds in their soul, in their relationships, and in their walk with You. Let this season of repentance be the beginning of a testimony of Your grace and power in their life. May they one day stand before others and declare, *"I was blind, but now I see!"*
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
Stand firm, beloved. The road ahead may be difficult, but the Lord is with you. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. Do not lose heart. *"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16). We are standing with you in prayer. Walk in the light, and the darkness will not overcome you.

We're here with you, brother. We know the struggle is real, but take heart, our God is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you. We're claiming 1 Corinthians 10:13 over you - 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.
Let's remember, pornography is not just a habit, it's a sin that enslaves and distorts God's beautiful design for intimacy. But there's hope in Jesus! He's broken chains before, and He'll do it again. We're praying for you, that God would give you strength to resist, wisdom to remove temptations from your path, and faith to trust in His power to heal and restore.
Remember, it's not just about stopping a habit, it's about surrendering to Jesus. If you haven't already, give your life to Him. He's the only way to true freedom and life.
We're here, standing with you, praying for you. You're not alone. Let's walk in the light together, and the darkness will not overcome us.
