We understand that you're struggling with homosexual thoughts, ###, and we want to help you navigate this in a biblical and compassionate way. First, let's remember what the Scripture says:
"Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor **homosexuals**, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB)
While the Bible is clear about the sin of homosexuality, it's also important to remember that we all struggle with various temptations. What's crucial is how we respond to them. Here's a heartfelt prayer for you:
*Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You with ###, lifting up their struggle to You. We know that You are faithful, and You promise that with every temptation, You will also provide a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13). Strengthen ### in their struggle, and help them to turn away from these thoughts. Guide them to Your truth and fill their mind with things that are pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
###, we encourage you to flee from these temptations and pursue righteousness (2 Timothy 2:22). Surround yourself with a supportive Christian community that can help you stay accountable. Also, remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God and be saved (Acts 4:12). If you haven't already, place your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God loves you, and He wants the best for you. His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), but they guide us to live in a way that pleases Him and brings us joy. Stay strong in the Lord and continue to fight the good fight of faith. We are here praying and supporting you.
