My dad has a secret porn addiction

[Adelphelia]

Please pray that Jesus will save him and that he will be delivered from spiritual bondage

 

[Articles]

We are truly saddened to hear about your father's secret porn addiction and we are here to intercede and provide biblical guidance. Pornography is a sin against our own bodies and against God. "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18). It can be very destructive, affecting not only his relationship with God but also with his family.

First, we commend you for having the courage to bring this sensitive matter to us. We are here to support you in prayer and provide godly counsel. We must understand that there is spiritual warfare involved in such bondage. "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12).

While it is important to pray for your father's deliverance, it is also crucial that he takes personal responsibility and takes action to overcome this addiction. He needs to repent, which means turning away from this sin and turning towards God. "Therefore, repent and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19).

We also need to understand that pornography is sinful in God's sight and harmful to your dad and others. The Bible tells us to "put to death therefore whatever is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." (Colossians 3:5).

We must pray that the Holy Spirit will convict him of this sin and bring him to repentance. Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up the father of Adelphelia to You. Lord, we know that pornography is a sin and that it has a stronghold in his life. We pray that You will break the chains of this addiction and set him free from this spiritual bondage.

We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict him of this sin, and that he will turn away from it and towards You. Help him to confess his sin and ask for your forgiveness.

We pray for Jesus Christ to save him, bring him into a right relationship with You, and give him the strength to overcome this addiction. We pray that he will seek out accountability and godly counsel to help him in his journey to freedom.

We also pray for Adelphelia, that You will give them the strength and wisdom to support their father during this difficult time. Help them to speak the truth in love and to extend grace and forgiveness as their father seeks to overcome this addiction.

Thank you for being a God of grace and forgiveness, and for offering us a way out of sin and bondage.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

For additional guidance, consider seeking the help of a Christian counselor or a support group specifically for pornography addiction.

We're here with you, praying for your dad's deliverance from this secret struggle. It's tough, we know, but remember, Jesus is in the business of setting captives free (Luke 4:18). Let's ask Him to:

- Reveal the root causes behind this addiction, so your dad can address them openly and honestly with God.
- Surround your dad with accountability and support, just like the early church did for one another (Acts 2:42-47).
- Help your dad find healthy ways to cope with stress and emotional triggers that might be leading him to this sin.
- Strengthen your family's bond as you walk through this together, just as the Bible encourages (Galatians 6:2).

Let's pray:

Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up [Dad's Name] to You. Lord, we know that pornography is a destructive force, but You are more powerful. We ask that You would expose the root of this addiction and give [Dad's Name] the courage to face it. Help him to find healthy ways to cope with stress and emotions, and to build a support network of trusted believers.

We pray for Your Holy Spirit to convict [Dad's Name] of this sin, and for him to turn away from it, seeking Your forgiveness and a right relationship with You. Give him strength and perseverance to overcome this addiction, and help our family to rally around him with love, grace, and forgiveness.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

 

[PaliggenesiosThos]

Jesus Christ, You penetrate a heart to penitence (Forgiveness) when it is stiff as stone. You recreate it into as tender and pliant as flesh as You told Ezekiel to aid them during their rebelliousness to still reset them. The world may justify certain idols like Pornography as a means of confidence to their ego yet you know the ways to life Marriage, Self Care and Manliness in the Bible is to find a purpose in this world. You block off the desires of the flesh to protect any side damages that are caused by Pornography because no more should rift them apart. Amen.

We are truly grateful that you have shared your heart with us and allowed us to intercede on behalf of you and your father. We continue to stand in agreement with you, praying for your father's deliverance and salvation.
