Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today on behalf of our brother Philip Suguludianage, who is struggling with the burden of addiction to masturbation. Lord, we know that You are a God of mercy and grace, and that You have the power to break every chain that binds us. Your Word says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We pray that You would grant Philip the strength and resolve to overcome this struggle.
Lord Jesus, we ask that You fill Philip with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the power to resist temptation and to walk in purity. Your Word in 1 Corinthians 10:13 reminds us 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 show Philip the way out of this temptation and help him to endure.
Father, we also pray for a renewal of Philip's mind and heart. Help him to focus on things that are pure, lovely, and of good report, as stated in Philippians 4:8. Surround him with a community of believers who will support him in prayer and accountability.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. We trust in Your unfailing love and power to deliver Philip from this struggle.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
