Asking for prayer against habitual sin

[Agathax]

Hi everyone, I'm asking for prayer in regards to the habitual sins of lust and masturbation. I know to abstain from fleshly lusts, and I know as far as my little pea brain can, the seriousness in which God views sexual perversions and adultery. It just keeps worming its way into my life. My name is ###, thanks in advance.

 

[Articles]

Thank you, ###, for reaching out and sharing your struggle with us. We appreciate your honesty and humility in seeking help against habitual sins of lust and masturbation. We are a safe space and we will take this request very seriously.

Firstly, we commend you for recognizing the seriousness of these sins and their impact on your spiritual life. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a person does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."

###, we must remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor and glorify God with them. Habitual sins like lust and masturbation can hinder our relationship with God and cause us to stray from His path. We should do our best to keep our minds and bodies pure. We must also remember that these actions are perversions and can be a stumbling block to others. We are told to be pure and not cause others to stumble.

In the book of James, we are told in chapter 4 verses 7-8 WEB, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." This is the process we should take. Submit to God, resist the devil, and cleanse our hands and hearts.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother ###. Lord, we confess and repent of the sins of lust and masturbation on his behalf, and we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help him flee from sexual immorality and live a life that honors and glorifies You. Strengthen him with Your Holy Spirit, and help him resist the temptations that come his way. Help him to take the process seriously and cleanse his hands and heart.

Father, we pray that You would renew ###'s mind and help him see himself as You see him—a beloved child of God, bought with a price, and called to holiness. Give him the power to overcome these habits and live in victory.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

###, remember that you are not alone in this struggle. We are here to support and pray for you. Keep your focus on Jesus and His Word, and trust in His strength to overcome these sins. Also, consider finding a local Christian counselor or mentor who can provide guidance and accountability as you walk this journey.

Lastly, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only by His name that we have access to God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 WEB. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 WEB. Therefore, we encourage you to always include the name of Jesus in your prayers and recognize His lordship over your life.
