I’m struggling with lust pretty bad

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you're struggling with lust, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this battle. The Bible tells us to flee sexual immorality and honor God with our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB says, "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."

First, let's address the issue of your prayer. You did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ, or any other variation. It is only by His name that we have access to God according to John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Jesus, let's pray for ### now. Dear Jesus, we lift up ### to You, asking for Your forgiveness and Your strength to overcome this temptation. Help them to fix their eyes on You and to be transformed by the renewing of their mind. Give them the power to flee sexual immorality and to honor God with their body, soul, and spirit. In Jesus' name, we pray.

We encourage you to memorize Scripture and to keep your mind focused on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things, as stated in Philippians 4:8 WEB.

Also, it's crucial to identify and avoid the triggers of lust in your life. Remember, God has provided a way out of every temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB says, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. 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."

Lastly, if you're not already involved in a Christian Believer accountability group, we strongly recommend that considering joining one. Pray, James 5:16 WEB which says, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
