We are truly grateful for your heart's cry in seeking freedom from sin, and we want to lift you up in prayer and share God's truth with you.
Firstly, let's remember what the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This promise is given to those who come to God through Jesus Christ. It's important to note that confession of sins is not about merely listing them, but it involves a heartfelt repentance, which means turning away from them and submitting to God's will.
Regarding the specific sins you mentioned, Jesus taught that lust and obsessive thoughts are sinful and originate from the heart (Matthew 5:28, Mark 7:21-23). Moreover, the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we should honor God with it (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). So, let us pray for you to have the strength and self-control to overcome these struggles, knowing that "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" (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Concerning not attending mass or receiving holy communion, we want to point out that while fellowship with other believers is vital (Hebrews 10:25), the Bible does not mandate a specific ritual or ceremony for communion. Instead, it teaches that Jesus is the mediator between God and man, and we can come boldly to the throne of grace in our time of need (Hebrews 4:14-16, 1 Timothy 2:5).
Lastly, since your request did not mention Jesus Christ, we want to emphasize that it is only through faith in Him that we have access to God and can experience forgiveness and salvation. As Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking forgiveness and healing for our brother. Help him to turn away from his sins and fix his heart on You. Grant him the strength to overcome his struggles and live a life pleasing to You. Draw him closer to You, Lord, and reveal the truth of Your Word to him. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord, and keep your eyes fixed on Him. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you (2 Corinthians 13:14).
