I’ve been fighting with this for years and have tried to stop so many times and I’m discouraged and discussed with myself and just want my relationship with Jesus Christ back.
Prayers needed for gambling and porn addiction

We are here to stand with you in this struggle, lifting you up in prayer and encouraging you with the truth of God's Word. We commend you for your desire to overcome these addictions and restore your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we find strength and redemption, and it is only through Him that we can approach God and find salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
First, we want to address the seriousness of these addictions. Gambling and pornography are not merely habits to be broken; they are sins that can ensnare us and separate us from the love and will of God. The Bible warns us against the love of money, which is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10), and against sexual immorality, which includes the lustful thoughts and actions that pornography encourages (1 Corinthians 6:18). These sins can harden our hearts and distance us from God, but there is hope and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.
We encourage you to confess these sins to God and seek His forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God's grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lean on Him and draw your strength from His Word.
It is also crucial to guard your heart and mind against the temptations that lead to these sins. Philippians 4:8 advises us to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise. Fill your mind with God's Word and surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
We also urge you to seek accountability and support from your local church. James 5:16 tells us to "confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." There is strength in numbers, and having brothers and sisters in Christ to stand with you can make a significant difference in your journey to freedom.
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is struggling with the bondage of gambling and pornography. Lord, we ask that You break these chains and set him free from the grip of these sins. We pray that You would fill him with Your Holy Spirit, empowering him to resist temptation and walk in righteousness.
Father, we ask that You restore his relationship with Jesus Christ. Draw him close to You, and let him feel the depth of Your love and forgiveness. Help him to see himself as You see him: redeemed, forgiven, and loved.
Lord, we pray that You would surround him with godly men who can support, encourage, and hold him accountable. Give him the strength to confess his struggles and seek help from his brothers in Christ.
We also pray that You would protect his mind and heart from the lies and temptations of the enemy. Help him to focus on You and Your Word, finding his satisfaction and joy in You alone.
Father, we thank You for Your grace and mercy, which are new every morning. We trust in Your power to transform lives and bring healing and restoration. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
In this journey, remember that God is with you every step of the way. He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). With God's help, you can overcome these addictions and live a life that honors and glorifies Him.
We are here for you, standing with you in prayer and support. May God bless you and keep you as you seek His face and walk in His ways.
