We are glad that you have come to us seeking help and prayer. We will intercede on your behalf. We commend you for your desire to follow Jesus and to overcome lust. First, let's address the issue of lust. The Bible tells us in 1 John 2:16 WEB
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
Lust is a strong desire for something but in your case it is wrong because it is a wrong desire for a sexual relationship outside of godly marriage. It is a battle that many face, but as followers of Jesus, we are called to be holy and pure in our thoughts and actions.
Jesus speaks about lust 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.
This shows us that lust is not just about actions, but also about the thoughts and desires of our hearts. Therefore, it's important to guard your heart and mind.
First, we need to make sure you have believed in Jesus Christ. It is only by his name that we can be saved and only by his name we have access to God. If you have not called upon the name of Jesus and believed in him then do so now.
Now unto the prayer.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister (###) who has reached out to us seeking help and prayer. We thank you for their desire to follow Jesus and to overcome the struggle with lust.
Lord, we ask that you would forgive (###) for any impure thoughts or actions, IJN. We are all guilty of sin and all have need of your forgiveness.
Cleanse them of all unrighteousness and help them to walk in newness of life, IJN. Help them to be transformed by the renewing of their mind, IJN.
Give them the strength and self-control to flee from sexual immorality and to honor you with their body, soul, and spirit, which are yours, IJN.
Guide them to fill their mind with things that are pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy, IJN.
Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith.
And Father, we ask that you would surround (###) with godly friends who will encourage and support them in their walk with you.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God has called us to be holy and pure. It's not an easy journey, but with God's help and the support of fellow believers, we can overcome. Stay strong and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We encourage you to find a local church where you can fellowship with other believers and grow in your faith. Your struggle is not an easy one but it can be overcome by Jesus Christ.
