Prayer request

[Anonymous]

I need prayers and strength to keep trying because last year I was watching something very bad and it tries and sometimes pop up to my head and goes away and I let it. It was about this inappropriate step-siblings relationship and the end of the chapter the step-sister got pregnant, had a child, and married later. It's sick and illegal, and I didn't realize authors are super sick some because I was searching for a kissing video being cheeky and I saw it recommended and I ignored it at first, then watched it more. They had porn of course too. For months I stayed away from it, which is good since January of 2025. It's May 20, 2026, I need nonstop prayers and to do my part to control it and to continue to be trained by God no matter what, even if it's bad curiosity. I deserve a clean, healthy mind, not allowing the devil trying to attack me and get the best of me. I feel ok because God is always there for me, but in the mornings I'm mentally not feeling ok and afternoons sometimes, but mostly mornings. I really need prayers badly, and there are times I mostly need prayers because I don't know how to pray and say much, and I really need to learn more how to and never give up for past days I slept more feeling not myself because of it. Out of nowhere it tries to pop up in my head, I think because of my actions of course, but please keep praying for me. I really appreciate this and I want a work-from-home job, anything good that doesn't require ID because I'm very poor. We are good with food thanks to God, and I need prayers for that and my mom and siblings and me spiritually and mentally, and hopefully my mom be freed from smoking weed. She's a good person, but everyone has personal addictions because we all go through a lot. I love drawing, and this guy wanted to pay me $100 every end of the month for sharing my drawing with him for his music career album, but I sadly rejected it. But I really need prayers because I don't want to depend on nobody and trust and depend on God only, and no matter how hard it is, I want to stick with God through the lows and highs. Prayers for my brothers and sisters, not just my blood ones, everyone I don't know and know. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I have a bad mental breakdown when we're running low with food, and I think I have an eating disorder. We need prayers because we are good with a hotel until tomorrow and needing more food. No one is going to help us, and the lawyer, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry for help and stand with you in prayer, lifting every burden to the throne of grace. First, we want to affirm that your desire for purity and a clean mind is godly and pleasing to the Lord. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The images and thoughts that plague you are not from God, and we rebuke them in the name of Jesus. The apostle Paul writes, "For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). You are not powerless, you have the authority in Christ to take every thought captive and replace it with what is true, noble, pure, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).

The content you were exposed to is indeed sinful and perverse, and it grieves the Holy Spirit when such darkness takes root in the mind. But we rejoice that you have turned away from it since January 2025, and we encourage you to continue resisting the devil so he will flee from you (James 4:7). When those thoughts arise, do not entertain them, immediately replace them with Scripture, worship, or prayer. Memorize verses like "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word" (Psalm 119:9) and "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). You are not defined by your past struggles, but by the blood of Jesus, which cleanses you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

We also want to address the spiritual foundation of your prayer. You mention feeling close to God, but we must emphasize that salvation and access to the Father come only through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). If you have not already, we urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, this is the only way to be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Christ, our prayers are powerless, but with Him, we have boldness to approach God’s throne (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, we pray you would do so today.

Your financial struggles and need for provision are heavy on our hearts. The Lord knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8), and He promises to supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We pray for a work-from-home opportunity that aligns with your gifts and does not require an ID, may the Lord open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Until then, trust that He is your provider. You mentioned rejecting a payment for your art, while it is wise to be cautious, we encourage you to seek godly counsel about opportunities that honor the Lord. Perhaps the Lord allowed that offer to test your dependence on Him, but He may also use your talents for His glory in ways you haven’t yet seen.

Your mother’s struggle with weed is a bondage we pray is broken. Addiction is a spiritual battle, and we declare freedom over her in Jesus’ name. "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed" (Luke 4:18). We pray she would experience the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and turn to Him for true satisfaction.

For your mental health, we pray for healing and stability. The mornings are hard, but we declare that joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). You are not alone in your struggles, even the apostle Paul pleaded with the Lord to remove his "thorn in the flesh," and God’s response was, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your weakness is an opportunity for God’s strength to shine. We also pray for your eating disorder, may the Lord restore your body and mind, and give you a healthy relationship with food as nourishment from Him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

For your family’s immediate needs, food and shelter, we cry out to the Lord. He fed the Israelites with manna in the wilderness, and He can provide for you in miraculous ways. "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:31-33). We pray for a breakthrough in your housing situation and for the lawyer involved to act with justice and compassion.

Let us pray for you now:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is fighting for purity, provision, and peace. Lord, we rebuke every unclean thought and image that has taken root in their mind. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus, and renew their mind by Your Word. Give them strength to resist temptation and fill their thoughts with what is holy and pleasing to You. Father, we ask for a work-from-home job that meets their needs without compromising their values. Provide for their family’s daily bread and open doors of opportunity. Break the chains of addiction in their mother’s life, and set her free by the power of Your Spirit. Heal their mind and body from anxiety, depression, and disordered eating. Lord, be their refuge in the mornings when despair is heaviest. Surround them with godly community and remind them they are never alone. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Bless their art, their family, and their future. May they grow in faith, trust, and dependence on You alone. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen."

Keep pressing into the Lord, even when it feels impossible. He is faithful, and His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). You are not forgotten, God sees you, loves you, and is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). We stand with you in this battle, believing for victory in every area of your life.

We’re standing with you in prayer, especially as you keep fighting for a clean mind. Those thoughts that pop up out of nowhere can feel demoralizing, but they don’t erase the long months you’ve already walked free, since ### is real ground you’ve held, and God sees that. What feels like an attack is often the enemy trying to reclaim a door you’ve already closed. When the image or memory surfaces, you can respond with a simple, quiet turn: “Jesus, I belong to You; take this thought captive.” You don’t need many words; He knows your heart. Over time, that small act of surrender trains your mind to run to Him instead of getting stuck in the old curiosity.

You also mentioned feeling unsure how to pray. Please don’t feel you have to get it right. Prayer is just talking with the One who already loves you, telling Him what’s heavy, what you’re afraid of, what you need. Even a whispered “Help me, Lord” is a prayer He hears. We’re grateful you reached out; we’ll keep asking Him to strengthen your will and guard your mornings, which you said are hardest.

We’re also asking Him about your family’s practical needs right now, the hotel, the food, your mom and siblings. It’s hard to feel okay when the basics feel so uncertain. While we pray, we’d gently encourage you to let a local church or food bank know about your situation if you can; sometimes God sends help through people who are already nearby and ready to respond. And you mentioned an eating disorder, we’re praying, and we’d also urge you to talk with a doctor or a counselor about that, alongside prayer, because your body and mind are worth caring for with the help God provides through others.

Let’s pray:

Father, thank You that You never let go. We lift up this dear one who is weary from the battle against intrusive thoughts and who longs for a mind stayed on You. In the mornings and afternoons when it’s hardest, meet them with Your peace that overrides every lie. Teach them to pray simply, to trust Your strength in their weakness. Provide shelter and food for tomorrow and the days beyond, open doors no one sees yet. Free their mom from addiction and bring healing to the whole household. Surround them with helpers and friends who can carry some of this weight. We ask all this in Jesus’ name, trusting You. Amen.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

You know what it is to wake in the morning and feel the shadow settle over you before your feet touch the floor. The images you never wanted, the memories you have fought to starve, they come nosing back like vermin that found a crack in the wall. And you think, If I were really clean, this would not happen. If God had truly forgiven me, these things would not still haunt the corners of my mind.

But what if I told you that the very presence of those intruding thoughts is not a sign that Christ has let you go, but rather a sign that you are on the battlefield, not in the prisoner-of-war camp? A dead soldier feels no arrows. It is the living man, the one still standing in the ranks, who feels the sting of the fiery dart. And the dart that the enemy most loves to use, above all others, is the whispered insinuation that your sin has finally exhausted God’s patience, that you have stumbled once too often, that the Lord has washed His hands of you. That is the poisoned tip. That is the hellish suggestion that tries to slip in right when you are bravest, right when you have been months away from the thing that shamed you.

But you must learn to answer that dart, not with long arguments, but by running straight to the place where you are safe. The Psalmist did not say, “I have studied the dart and I understand its construction.” He said, “They that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Your stronghold is not your own track record of clean days; your stronghold is the name of your God. His thoughts are not your thoughts. While you are measuring the distance you have fallen, He is measuring the distance His Son traveled to bring you home. While your thoughts are circling around your failure, His thoughts toward you are as high as the heavens are above the earth.

You are not cast off. You are a child who has been to the far country, yes, but the Father’s robe is already being brought out, and the ring for your finger is not lost. The cloud of stinging memories that gathers in the morning, bring it to the well. Do you remember the wells in the desert? Christ is the great deep that lies under all your thirst. When the foul pictures rise unbidden, do not stand and parley with them; go at once and drink of Him. Open this blessed Book until you find a promise that fits your hand, and do not let it go. A single word from God applied by the Spirit can cool a fevered mind in a moment. You are not required to wrestle the memory into submission by sheer will; you are invited to let a greater thought overshadow it. The thought of Christ. The thought that He sees you, that He has not gone away to sleep, that He is at work in every inch of your life, even in that hotel room, even when the cupboards are growing bare.

And as for your daily bread, both the bread for the body and the bread for the soul, remember that the Lord who brought Israel out of Egypt did not bring them out to starve them in the wilderness. He brought them forth with silver and gold; their deliverance was attended with enrichment. You are poor just now, and the lack presses hard upon your spirit. I hear that. The fear of running out, the memory of breakdowns when supplies grew thin, that is a real weight. But the God who has kept you until now has not emptied His purse. He has not forgotten your mother, nor your siblings, nor the work you need. That drawing you let slip, you mourn it, but do not think the door is forever shut. The same Lord who gave you the skill can send another buyer, or something better still, in His own time. And in the meanwhile, He can make a little go a long way. He can feed you by ravens if need be. The God who thinks upon you has His eye on your exact address, and He knows what you require for tomorrow.

You spoke of wanting a clean mind. That is a holy desire, and it is one Christ Himself planted in you. A person still in love with darkness does not cry out for light. The very fact that you loathe what once entangled you is proof that the Spirit is at work, training you, guarding you, leading you, yes, even when the path feels steep and your knees are weak. You said it rightly: you deserve a healthy mind. Not because you have earned it by your efforts, but because Christ has purchased your wholeness with His blood and He means for you to have it. He is not a Redeemer who leaves His work half-done. If He has begun to deliver you from the pit, He will not stop until you stand on solid ground and there is no feeble person among your tribes.

Let this morning’s temptation be a call to prayer, not a sentence of condemnation. And when you cannot find words, let the groans go up. He understands the language of a breaking heart. I will join my prayers with yours: for your mother, that the chain of her addiction be snapped by a stronger hand; for your brothers and sisters, both near and far; for the daily provision and the open door of work. But most of all, I will pray that you may know, deep in the place where the dark thoughts try to lodge, that you are not forsaken. You are held.

Lord Jesus, this dear soul is waking to a battle, and the enemy would love to paint the morning with despair. Stand between them and the accusing voice. Let Your precious blood silence every charge. Calm the mind that churns with memories; fill it instead with the peace that passes understanding. Provide for this household. You know the hotel, the empty pantry, the lawyer, the longing for dignified work. Be their provider, their advocate, their sure hope. Free this mother from her bondage, and pour out Your Spirit upon every sibling. Draw them all, we pray, into the safety of Your wounds. Raise up this one who loves You as a living testimony that You do not break the bruised reed. In Your strong and gentle name, Amen.

We are so grateful you entrusted us with your heart and allowed us to stand with you in prayer these past days. Your courage in sharing such a deeply personal struggle has touched us, and we want you to know we have not stopped lifting you before the Lord.

We have prayed specifically that the Holy Spirit would strengthen your mind each morning, that He would guard your thoughts and replace any lingering images with His peace. We asked the Father to remind you daily that you are His beloved child, washed clean by the blood of Jesus, and that no past mistake or unwanted thought can separate you from His love. We also prayed for your physical needs—asking God to open unexpected doors for honest work-from-home employment, to multiply your food supply in miraculous ways, and to provide safe shelter beyond tomorrow. For your mother and siblings, we have asked the Lord to break every chain of addiction and fill their hearts with a hunger for Him alone.

If any of these prayers have already been answered—if you’ve sensed a new measure of peace, found a job lead, or seen even a small provision of food—we would love to celebrate with you. Please share a praise report so we can rejoice together in God’s faithfulness.

If the battle still feels heavy, we want to keep standing with you. Consider this not just a follow-up, but an invitation to let us pray afresh. Post your request again, and we will continue to intercede on your behalf, trusting that God is working even when we cannot see it. You are not alone in this fight. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you, giving you the strength to resist temptation and walk in victory.

May the Lord bless you with His presence, fill you with His peace, and remind you every moment that He is fighting for you. Keep pressing into Him—He will never leave you nor forsake you. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
