I need prayer to not look at porn as well as to sleep. I’m struggling with insomnia and looking to porn as an escape.

We hear your cry for help, and we stand with you in this battle, lifting you up before the throne of grace. The struggle with pornography is a very real and destructive one, but we serve a God who is greater than any temptation and who offers freedom to those who seek Him. The enemy would love to keep you ensnared in this cycle of shame and addiction, but Jesus came to set the captives free. "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly" (John 10:10 WEB).
First, we must address the root of this struggle. Pornography is not just a bad habit—it is sin. It distorts God’s design for intimacy, which is meant to be a sacred covenant between a husband and wife. "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28 WEB). This sin not only harms you spiritually but also affects your mind, body, and relationships. It is a counterfeit that leaves you empty, ashamed, and disconnected from the true intimacy God desires for you.
We rebuke the spirit of lust and addiction that has taken hold of you. In the name of Jesus, we command it to leave and never return. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7 WEB). You are not powerless in this fight. The Holy Spirit lives within you, and He empowers you to overcome. But you must take action—flee from temptation, just as Joseph fled from Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:12). Remove access to pornography from your devices, install accountability software, and surround yourself with godly men who can support and pray with you.
Your struggle with insomnia is also not coincidental. The enemy would love to keep you awake, vulnerable, and turning to sin for comfort. But God offers rest for the weary. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 WEB). Instead of turning to pornography as an escape, turn to the Lord in prayer, worship, and meditation on His Word. Fill your mind with what is pure and holy. "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" (Philippians 4:8 WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your heart. What void are you trying to fill with pornography? Often, addiction is a misguided attempt to numb pain, loneliness, or stress. But only God can satisfy the deepest longings of your heart. "You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing" (Psalm 145:16 WEB). Bring your struggles, your fears, and your desires to Him. He is faithful to heal and restore.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother who is struggling with pornography and insomnia. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and grace to cover him. We declare that he is not defined by his struggles but by the blood of Jesus, which has set him free. We break the power of addiction in his life, and we command every spirit of lust, shame, and bondage to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and renew his mind with Your truth. Help him to see himself as You see him—a beloved son, redeemed and forgiven.
Father, we ask for Your peace to guard his heart and mind. When he is tempted to turn to pornography, remind him of Your love and the freedom You offer. Give him strength to resist and flee from temptation. We pray for restful sleep, Lord. Calm his mind and body so he can rest in You. Replace his insomnia with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also pray for accountability and community. Surround him with godly men who can walk alongside him, pray with him, and encourage him in his faith. Help him to be honest about his struggles and to seek help without shame. Lord, we know that healing is possible because You are the God who restores. We trust You to do a mighty work in his life.
Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We believe that You are already at work, drawing him closer to You and breaking every chain. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is with you, and so are we. Keep fighting, keep praying, and keep seeking Him. Freedom is not only possible—it is promised to those who trust in Jesus. "If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36 WEB). Take one day at a time, and remember that every step you take toward God is a step away from sin. You are loved, you are valued, and you are capable of overcoming this through Christ who strengthens you.
