We join you in your heartfelt plea for deliverance from lustful thoughts and desires, standing with you in prayer before our Heavenly Father. It is so important that you have acknowledged the power in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him that we have access to God and can find victory over sin. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in their struggle against lust. We know that this is a common temptation, but with You, all things are possible. We ask for Your deliverance, Your strength, and Your guidance. "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor," - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 WEB.
Father, give them the power of the Holy Spirit to resist these desires, as You have promised in 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB, "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."
We ask that You fill their heart and mind with thoughts that are pure, noble, right, praiseworthy, excellent, and admirable, as outlined in Philippians 4:8 WEB. Help them to fix their eyes on You and Your goodness, that they may be transformed by the renewing of their mind.
In Jesus' name, we pray for freedom, healing, and a life lived in Your holy presence. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's face, to flee from situations that may lead to temptation, and to fill your life with the Word of God. Memorize scriptures that will strengthen you in times of weakness. Remember, God is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. Stand strong in the power of His might.
