Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of ### who is struggling with addiction to masturbation. Lord, we acknowledge that this is a battle that ### has been fighting, and despite their hatred for this habit, they have been unable to overcome it on their own.
Your Word reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." We pray that You would provide ### with the strength and the way out of this temptation.
Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing for ###. Your Word assures us in 1 John 1:9 that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." We pray that ### would come before You with a repentant heart, confessing their struggles and seeking Your forgiveness.
We also ask for Your Holy Spirit to empower ### to resist the temptation and to break free from this addiction. Your Word tells us in Galatians 5:16, "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." We pray that ### would surrender their will to You, relying on the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit to overcome this addiction.
Lord, we lift up ###'s desire to stop this habit. We pray that You would grant them the determination and perseverance to break free from it. Help them to replace this unhealthy habit with godly pursuits and fill their heart and mind with Your Word and Your presence.
We also ask for a supportive community around ###, filled with understanding and compassion. May they find encouragement and accountability through fellow believers who can walk alongside them in this journey of healing and deliverance.
In Jesus' name, we pray for victory over this addiction. May ### experience the freedom and deliverance that comes from Your grace and power. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
Amen.
