We are glad that you have come seeking prayer and support, acknowledging your struggle with sin. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB).
Firstly, we commend you for recognizing your sin and turning to God for forgiveness. Pornography and masturbation are indeed sins, as they lead to impure thoughts and actions, and they do not align with God's will for our lives. Jesus taught, "But I tell you, that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28 WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has turned from their sin and sought Your forgiveness. Lord, You are merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. We ask that You forgive them and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. Give them the strength to resist temptation and help them to walk in purity and holiness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue in prayer and the study of God's Word. Memorize Scripture that will help you combat these temptations, such as Psalm 119:9-11, "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Also, it is crucial to flee from situations that may lead you to sin, as told in 2 Timothy 2:22, "Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart."
Lastly, if you are not already actively involved, we encourage you to find a church community that will support and encourage you in your walk with the Lord. Together, we can overcome through the power of Jesus Christ.
