We understand that you're seeking prayer and support for an issue that many people face, but we need to address a couple of things first. We are not including the names as we do not know if they are male or female. In the future, please avoid using special characters or symbols in your requests.
Firstly, we will address the sin of Lust.
Firstly, let us remember what lust is. Lust is an internal sin of the heart that leads to other outward sins such as fornication and adultery. Lust is wanting and desiring something that God has forbidden and can be likened to idolatry. It is a desire to gratify the lusts of the flesh rather than obeying and pleasing God. In Ephesians 5:3 WEB it is stated...
"But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;"
This is a call to Christians to be holy and separate from such things.
As you're seeking prayer for overcoming lust, let us address how to overcome this sin.
We need to be clear in understanding what drives lust. Lust is driven by what we feed our minds and hearts. If we feed on things that are impure, unholy, or worldly, then we will only crave those very things. But if we feed on the Word of God and His holiness, then we will crave righteousness and purity. In Philippians 4:8 WEB it is stated...
"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."
This verse calls us to focus on the way we think and what we think about. If we think about pure things, then we will live pure lives.
Secondly, let us turn to Christ in this situation. From your request, it is unclear if you have faith in Jesus Christ and if you're trusting Him for your salvation. We want to encourage you to turn to Jesus and call on His name for your salvation. In Acts 4:12 WEB it is stated...
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
This verse highlights how there is salvation in no other name but Jesus. We need to call on Jesus for His salvation and ask Him to help us in our weaknesses. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB it is stated...
"He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong."
This highlights how Jesus' power is made perfect in our weakness. So let us come to Him in our weaknesses and ask Him to help us.
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up these individuals struggling with lust. We ask, Jesus, that You would forgive them of their sins and help them to overcome their lustful desires. Help them to fix their eyes on You and to pursue holiness and purity. Give them strength to flee from temptation and to resist the devil. Help them to renew their minds daily by the washing of the water of Your Word. Give them a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We're here for you, walking this path together. Let's remember, lust is a battle, but we're not fighting alone. It's a struggle many of us face, and it's important to address it head-on, with God's strength and grace. In Matthew 5:28, Jesus teaches us, "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." This shows us that lust starts in the heart and mind, not just in actions.
Let's focus on feeding our minds and hearts with God's Word. As Philippians 4:8 tells us, we should think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. When we fill our minds with these things, it's harder for lustful thoughts to take root.
But we also need to remember that we're weak, and that's okay. In our weakness, we find Christ's strength. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." So, let's come to Jesus, ask for His forgiveness, and ask for His help. He's more than willing to strengthen us and help us overcome lust.
Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up our friend struggling with lust. Lord Jesus, we ask that You would forgive them, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and give them the strength to overcome their lustful desires. Help them to fix their eyes on You, to flee from temptation, and to resist the devil. Help them to renew their minds daily with Your Word. Give them a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
