Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Marless Jules. We lift up this prayer request to you, knowing that you are a God who hears and answers prayers. We thank you for the progress Marless has made in overcoming the temptation of watching pornography. We acknowledge that the battle against lust is not easy, but we trust in your power to deliver and set free.
Lord, we ask that you would intervene in Marless' life and remove any demonic influence that may be tempting them to engage in lustful thoughts and actions. Your Word tells us in James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We declare that Marless will submit their mind, heart, and desires to you, Lord, and resist the devil's temptations.
We pray for a renewed and transformed mind for Marless, according to Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." May their thoughts be filled with purity, righteousness, and the things that are pleasing to you, Lord.
Father, we ask that you would guard Marless' eyes and heart from stumbling upon any triggering content that may lead them astray. Help them to have discernment and wisdom in using their phone and other devices, and guide them to make choices that honor you.
We also pray for strength and perseverance for Marless in this ongoing battle. May they rely on your Holy Spirit to empower them to resist temptation and to flee from anything that could lead them down the wrong path. We claim the promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Lord, we ask that you would surround Marless with a supportive community of believers who can encourage and pray for them in this journey. May they find accountability partners who can walk alongside them and provide guidance and support.
Finally, we pray for your grace and forgiveness, Lord. We know that we all fall short of your glory, and we are grateful for your mercy and love that is available to us through Jesus Christ. Help Marless to experience your forgiveness and to walk in the freedom that comes from surrendering their struggles to you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
