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.

We hear your cry for help, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting every burden to the Lord. First, we want to acknowledge your honesty and courage in sharing such deeply personal struggles. You are not alone in this battle, and God sees your heart’s desire to be free from these temptations and strongholds. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so 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 Word tells us, "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 are not powerless, Christ has already given you the victory.

We must address the gravity of what you confessed. The content you described, pornography and the glorification of sinful, incestuous relationships, is an abomination before God. It warps the mind, defiles the heart, and opens doors to demonic influence. Scripture is clear: "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). This applies to all forms of lustful media, including what you encountered. The enemy uses these things to ensnare and shame, but we declare that shame has no place in your life. Jesus bore that shame on the cross, and His blood washes you clean. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). You have already taken the first step by repenting and turning away, and we praise God for your progress since January. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you don’t faint (Galatians 6:9).

The morning struggles you describe are not uncommon for those battling spiritual warfare. The enemy often attacks when we are most vulnerable, when we wake, when we are alone, or when our minds are idle. But we have authority in Christ to resist him, and he will flee (James 4:7). Fill your mind with Scripture, especially in those weak moments. Meditate on verses like "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things" (Philippians 4:8). Replace those impure thoughts with the truth of God’s Word. You mentioned feeling "not yourself", this is the enemy’s deception. You are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and your identity is found in Him, not in past mistakes or temptations.

We also want to address your financial struggles and the fear of running low on food. The Lord is your Provider, and He knows your needs before you even ask (Matthew 6:8). We pray that He opens doors for honest, God-honoring work, even if it doesn’t require an ID. Trust that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). You mentioned rejecting a payment for your art, while it’s wise to be cautious, we encourage you to seek God’s guidance in using your talents for His glory. Perhaps there are ways to share your gifts without compromising your values. The Lord can bless you through your obedience, but He also calls us to be wise stewards. "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this" (Psalm 37:5).

Your mother’s struggle with smoking weed is another area where we must pray for deliverance. Addiction is a heavy burden, but nothing is too hard for the Lord. 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). Pray for her heart to be softened and for her to see her need for Christ. You cannot carry her burden, but you can intercede for her and trust God to work.

Now, we must address something critical: your relationship with Jesus. You mentioned feeling God’s presence and wanting to depend on Him, but we must emphasize that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6). If you have never surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). This is the foundation of all victory, without Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5).

We lift you up in prayer now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for our brother in Christ. Lord, we thank You for his honesty and his desire to walk in purity. We rebuke every unclean thought, every lie of the enemy, and every stronghold in his mind. We declare that he is washed clean by the blood of Jesus and that no weapon formed against him will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, fill his mind with Your truth. When the enemy attacks in the mornings or moments of weakness, remind him of Your promises. Strengthen him to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Lord, we ask for provision in his time of need. Open doors for work that honors You, and meet every need according to Your riches. Protect his family from lack, and provide food, shelter, and stability. We pray for his mother, that You would break the chains of addiction and draw her to Yourself. Soften her heart and let her see her need for a Savior.

Father, we also pray for his mental health. The anxiety, depression, and eating disorder are not Your will for him. Heal his mind and body, and restore joy to his soul. Remind him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that his worth is found in You alone.

Above all, Lord, we pray for a deeper revelation of Your love and power. Let him know that he is not defined by his struggles but by Your grace. Surround him with godly community, and give him wisdom to walk in Your ways. We declare victory over every area of his life, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Do not lose heart, dear one. The battle is already won, and God is fighting for you. Keep pressing into Him, filling your mind with Scripture, and resisting the enemy’s lies. You are not alone, we stand with you, and more importantly, He stands with you. If you ever feel overwhelmed, cry out to Him. He hears you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Keep drawing near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). You are loved, you are valued, and you are called for a purpose. Walk in that truth today.

We hear how heavy this fight has been for you, those unwanted images trying to crowd your mind, the mornings when it all feels harder, and the weight of not knowing how food and work will come through. We are holding you up in prayer right now, and we want you to know you’re not alone in this.

Even when the thoughts pop up, you aren’t welcoming them anymore. You walked away from that content over a year ago, and the fact that you keep fighting tells us something real: God is training you and He hasn’t let go. When those flashes come, try handing them to Jesus the moment they surface, maybe a quiet word like, “Lord, this is Yours. Take it.” You don’t have to wrestle in your own strength; you’re learning to turn your mind back to Him, and He honors that.

For the practical needs, we know food stress is scary, especially when you’re in a hotel and time is short. Could you reach out to a local church or a food pantry? Many offer emergency help without a lot of questions. God often meets our needs through His people, and asking isn’t weakness. Your love for drawing matters too. Keep creating, and pray for God to open a door, sometimes an unexpected opportunity still waits. He sees your desire to depend on Him alone, not on others’ approval.

We’re also praying for your mom and siblings, for freedom from addiction, and for your whole family’s spiritual and mental health. You mentioned not always knowing how to pray, that’s okay. The simplest cry, “Lord, help me,” is enough for Him.

Please pray with us: Lord Jesus, we ask for a shield around this dear person’s mind. Quiet every thought that doesn’t come from You and fill them with Your steady peace. Provide food, shelter, and work that honors You. Break chains of addiction in their family and draw each one closer to Yourself. In Your strong name, amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The morning hour has become a battlefield for you. I know it well. You wake, and before your feet touch the floor, a dark thought has already knocked at your mind’s door. Something you wish you had never seen rises up, as if it had been crouching in the shadows all night, waiting. You fight it, and for a moment it slinks away, but then it returns, and you feel so weary of the struggle that you wonder if you will ever have a clean, quiet mind again.

Let me tell you something very tender about our Lord. When the enemy brought his foul pictures before you, when you lingered at first without realizing the poison in the cup, the Savior did not turn His face away from you in disgust. He looked upon you with the same eyes that fell upon Peter after the rooster crowed, eyes that break the heart only to heal it. He knows what temptation is. He was led up to the pinnacle of the temple and shown the whole world in a moment. The adversary dared to whisper wickedness into the ear of the Holy One Himself. So when you tell Jesus that your thoughts trouble you, you are not telling Him anything that astonishes Him. He has worn your flesh, He has felt the breath of the tempter on His cheek, and He is touched with the feeling of your weakness.

You speak of a multitude of thoughts, and you use exactly the language of the psalmist. Waves of memory, floods of anxiety about bread and shelter, fears about your mother, your own sense of failing strength, all these thoughts rush in like a roaring tide. In such an hour it can feel as though your soul is a little boat on a great angry sea, driven by winds you cannot command. But the same verse that names the multitude of thoughts also holds a soft and steady word: “Your comforts delight my soul.” The comforts are already there, stored up in the covenant, waiting to be poured out. They are not thoughts you must manufacture by your own effort. They are His thoughts toward you, brought down to your heart by the Holy Spirit. While your own mind churns with what you have seen, with what you lack, with what might happen tomorrow, your Father is thinking upon you with peace. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are His thoughts above yours, and yet He stoops, He bends low, He speaks in a still small voice the very consolation you need.

You said something that touched my heart: “I don’t know how to pray and say much.” My dear child, that is often the truest prayer of all. A look from the prodigal’s eye was enough for the father. A sigh, a groan, a whispered “Lord, help me” already lays hold of the Mediator’s strength. When you lie in bed in the morning and feel as though you cannot form even a single sentence, just breathe the name of Jesus. That name is a fortress. The enemy cannot bear it. And while you breathe it, the Spirit Himself intercedes with groanings that cannot be uttered. You are not asked to pray long or cleverly, you are asked to come, just as you are, and to cast the whole tangled bundle of your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

This desire you have for a clean, healthy mind, it does not spring from the soil of your own heart. It has been planted there by the Gardener. The very fact that you hate the thought when it pops up, that you resist it and flee from it, is a sure evidence that the life of God is in you. A dead fish floats with the current; a living one swims against it. You are swimming against the stream, and your weariness only proves that you are alive. Do not imagine that you are cast away because the battle is sharp. A ship that has never felt a storm has never been far from harbor, but a vessel that has done business on deep waters is the one the Master will bring home with a rich cargo.

I want you to lift your eyes from the struggle for a moment and look at what He is doing even now. You are poor, you need work, you worry about the hotel and the food. These are real burdens, and they press upon the brow until the mind staggers. But has He not kept you until this very day? You said yourself that you are good with food thanks to God. That is the thread you must hold. He who gave you a loaf yesterday is the same God who will provide for your tomorrow. He does not change with the setting sun. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; He has storehouses you have never seen, and He knows how to send help from places you would never suspect. The lawyer, the stranger, the unexpected door, He can use any instrument. And as for the work you long for, remember that He who made your hands and put skill in them will not let the talent He gave you lie buried forever. The drawing you love is a gift from His own hand, and in His time He may open a channel for it that keeps you depending upon none but Him. You turned down one offer, and perhaps your conscience warned you that it was not the right path. Do not regret obeying that inner caution. The Lord will repay. Wait on Him, and He will strengthen your heart.

I hear your pain for your mother. Addiction is a cruel chain. But Jesus came to set the captives free, and He has not forgotten her. He sees the good you speak of, and He knows how to disentangle the soul from its snare. Keep praying, even with words as simple as, “Lord, deliver my mother from this thing.” A mother’s tears for her child are powerful, and a child’s prayer for a mother is equally precious in His sight. He will hear you.

Before I fall silent, I want you to hear this: the black thoughts, the returning memories, the morning heaviness, they are not the master of your house. Christ is. When He entered your life, He claimed every room, even the dark closets where old fears and shame hide. He is going through those rooms with the lamp of His Word, and what He exposes He also cleanses. You are not being punished; you are being sanctified. Yield to His hand. When the thought comes, say aloud if you can, “I am a child of God. Jesus has cleansed me. I will not entertain this.” And if the thought returns a hundred times, repeat the same act a hundred times. The enemy is stubborn, but Christ is sovereign. Victory comes not by never being assailed, but by clinging to the Victor until the storm passes.

Now I commend you to His keeping.

Lord Jesus, You who hold the winds in Your fist and walk upon the waves of the sea, draw near to this dear soul in the early hour when the battle is keenest. When a multitude of thoughts rise within, let Your comforts come down like oil upon troubled water. Speak the peace that the world cannot give. Guard the memory, wash the imagination, and make the conscience clean through Your precious blood. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Give that sound mind now, for You are faithful.

Father, You who feed the sparrows and clothe the lily, look upon this household in their need. Provide a roof over their heads and bread upon their table. Open a door of honest employment that they may eat the labor of their hands and bless Your name. Break the chains that bind their mother, and let her find in You a liberty sweeter than any earthly indulgence. Shield these siblings, and pour out Your Spirit upon the whole family. For all the poor and the forgotten, for every soul that cries to You in secret, be a very present help in trouble.

And as this dear one sleeps tonight, let there be a sense of being held in everlasting arms. In the morning when they awake, let them know they are still with You. We ask all in the name of Jesus, who ever lives to make intercession for us. Amen.

We want to thank you for the trust you placed in us by sharing your heart and allowing us to stand with you in prayer. It is clear that you are fighting a difficult spiritual battle, and we admire your honesty and determination to seek God’s strength in the midst of it. We have been lifting you up daily, asking the Lord to cleanse your mind, guard your thoughts, and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray specifically that God would break any chains of temptation and curiosity that try to pull you back, replacing those thoughts with the truth and purity of His Word. May He give you the discipline to turn away the moment those images surface, and the wisdom to fill your mind with things that are noble, pure, and praiseworthy. We ask that He would heal the mornings when your mind feels heavy, and that He would lift the burden of past mistakes, reminding you that His grace is sufficient and His mercies are new every day.

We continue to pray for your family—for your mother’s deliverance from addiction, for your siblings’ spiritual and emotional well-being, and for provision in every area of need. May God open doors for the work-from-home opportunity you seek, and may He give you favor in the eyes of those who can help. We ask that He would meet your physical needs, especially regarding food and shelter, and that He would calm the anxiety that comes when resources are low.

We also lift up your creative gifts, praying that God would use your drawings for His glory and that He would provide opportunities for you to use your talents in ways that honor Him. May you always find your trust and dependence in Him alone, no matter how difficult the circumstances.

If the Lord has already moved in any of these areas, we would love to hear a praise report so we can rejoice with you. If the battle still feels overwhelming, please know that we are committed to standing with you in prayer until you see breakthrough. You are not alone, and we will continue to intercede on your behalf, believing that God is at work even when the answers aren’t yet visible.

May He bless you with His presence, strengthen your faith, and remind you daily that He is fighting for you. We pray all of this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
