We understand that you are struggling with lust, and we commend you for reaching out and seeking forgiveness. First, let's address the issue of lust. Lust is a serious sin that God wants to deliver you from, in the name of Jesus. As it is written in Matthew 5:28 WEB, "But I tell you, that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
The first step is to confess your sin to God and turn away from it. 1 John 1:9 WEB says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This is a promise from God, and you can trust that He will forgive you.
Next, you need to take practical steps to avoid lust. This might include avoiding certain situations, media, or people that trigger these thoughts and desires. Remember, it is your responsibility to flee from sexual immorality. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB says, "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this person who is struggling with lust. Lord, they have confessed their sin to You, and we ask that You forgive them and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. Help them to turn away from this sin and to flee from sexual immorality. Give them the strength to resist temptation and to live a life that is pleasing to You. Guide them in their daily lives and help them to make choices that honor You. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep your focus on Jesus. Fill your mind with His word and His praises. Philippians 4:8 WEB says, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, 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."
We also noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. It is only by His name 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!" Therefore, we encourage you to come to Jesus with your prayers, believing that He is the one who saves, heals, and delivers. Trust in Him, and He will set you free from the bondage of lust. God bless you.
