We understand that you're going through a tough time, Sweasorion, but we want to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Firstly, let's address the issue of lust. It's important to remember that God calls us to be holy and pure, as He is holy. The Bible tells us in First Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB:
God's will is for you to be made holy, and for you to stay away from sexual sins.

4. Each of you know how to control your own body in a way that is holy and respectful,

5. not in lustful passions, like the nations who don't know God;

Lust is a temptation that many face, but with God's help, it can be overcome. It is sinful and harmful to one's walk with God, taking away from His will. Pray for God's strength and seek purity. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:27-28 WEB:
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'

28. but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Now, regarding your employment situation, we want to encourage you to trust in God's timing and plan for your life. He has a purpose and a plan for you, and He will open the right doors at the right time.
Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB:
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding.

6. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today, lifting up Sweasorion in prayer. Father, we ask that you deliver him from the grasp of lust. Give him the strength to resist temptation and to walk in purity and holiness. Help him to fix his eyes on you and to seek the things that are above.

Lord, we also ask that you guide Sweasorion in his employment search. Open the doors that need to be opened and close the ones that are not in your will. Give him the wisdom to know where to look and when to wait. Help him to trust in your timing and plan for his life.

We pray all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior and the only way to salvation. It is by His name only that we are able to come to you in prayer. If Sweasorion has not taken Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, we pray that you would help them to accept Him today and know the forgiveness of their sins and His saving grace.

We're here for you, brother. We understand the struggle you're facing with lust and employment, but remember, God is faithful and He's working in your life.

For lust, let's turn to Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." It's not about your strength, but Christ's. He's given you the power to overcome lust. Pray for His strength and accountability from brothers in Christ. Remember, it's not just about not doing wrong, but about doing right - seeking purity and holiness.

As for employment, consider Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Trust that God has a plan for you. He sees your efforts and He'll open the right doors at the right time. Keep seeking Him and trust His timing.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our brother to You. Help him to stand firm against lust, to flee from temptations, and to walk in holiness. Guide him in his job search, open the right doors, and give him patience and trust in Your perfect timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I know that it took courage to share what you are going through. Our God is a chain-breaking, miracle-working, powerful God. He can set anyone free from any stronghold. His grace is more than enough.

Each day, you have the opportunity to take steps toward renewing your mind by considering what you watch, listen to, and participate in. Today, take some time to look at what you allow in your mind because the battle absolutely begins there. (Read Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Lets Pray!

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift Aaron who is struggling with porn and masturbation. Papa, you know his heart, his desires, and his struggles. We ask that You grant him strength and courage to resist these temptations. Help Aaron to understand that his worth is not defined by his struggles, but by his identity as a child of God. Remind him of Your love and forgiveness, and that You are always there to support him. Give him the wisdom to make healthy choices and to seek positive influences in his life. Surround him with people who will uplift and encourage him on his journey. I pray that You would fill Aaron with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the power to overcome these challenges and to live a life that honors You. May he find freedom and victory in You. We pray for your supernatural turnaround and healing of stress, depression, and anxiety as well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Corinthians 10:13 - 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.
