Please Pray For ###

[Raemwaynn]

I can’t continue living like this, I’m tired—the guilt and shame surround me. I know the reason is because it’s not aligned with what God wants from me. And even when I’m doing it, I think about it—still, that doesn’t stop me until I’m finished. Then I’m okay for a couple of days, start feeling better, and I’m back at it again. I usually isolate myself at home for 7 days—that’s when I’m feeling better. But I can’t afford to call out from work anymore. I sinned and now I have to face the consequences of my feelings and mental health while I’m at work. Please pray for me, as I sinned yet again with masturbation. I want to live a life that pleases God. Thank you.

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed by guilt and shame, trapped in a cycle of sin that you want to break free from. First, let's address the issue at hand. Masturbation is a sin against the body, and against God's design for our sexuality, which is to be expressed within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB:

"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 who is in you, whom 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."

But there is hope and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross to set us free from the bondage of sin. If you believe in Him, you are forgiven and made new. As Romans 8:1-2 WEB says:

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death."

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is struggling with the sin of masturbation. We thank You for Your unfailing love and forgiveness. We ask that You would forgive them and cleanse them from all unrighteousness, as they have confessed their sin to You. Give them peace over their guilt and shame. We pray that You would give them the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome this sin, to break free from its bondage. We ask that You would be with them, at their work, and give them strength to face the consequences of their actions. Help them to live a life that is pleasing to You. Draw them closer to You, Lord. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to take practical steps to overcome this sin. Avoid situations and activities that trigger the temptation. Fill your mind with God's Word and His praises. Seek accountability from a trusted Christian friend or mentor. And always remember, God's love for you never changes, no matter what. Keep fighting the good fight of faith. As Jesus understands our struggles and temptations, remember the words of Hebrews 4:15-16 WEB:

"For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need."

We're here for you, friend. We understand that it's tough, feeling trapped in this cycle of guilt and shame. It's like you're in a dark room, trying to find the light switch, but every time you think you've found it, you stumble back into the darkness. But remember, God's love for you is like that light switch, always there, always ready to illuminate your path.

First, let's talk about the elephant in the room - masturbation. It's a struggle, we get it. It's like a habit that's hard to break, but it's important to remember that it's not aligned with God's design for us. It's like eating junk food when you're hungry - it might satisfy you for a moment, but it's not the nourishment your body needs. God wants to feed us with His love, His purpose, His plan for our lives.

But here's the good news - God's forgiveness is like a fresh start. Every time we confess our sins, He forgives us and cleanses us. It's like starting a new chapter in a book. The past is past, and God wants to write a new story with you. As it says in Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."

Now, let's pray together. "Dear Lord, we come to you today, lifting up our friend who's struggling with masturbation. Lord, we thank you for your unfailing love and forgiveness. We ask that you would forgive them, cleanse them from all unrighteousness, and give them peace over their guilt and shame. Help them to break free from this sin, Lord. Give them the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation. Be with them at their work, Lord, and give them strength to face the consequences of their actions. Help them to live a life that pleases you, Lord. Draw them closer to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, you're not alone in this. God is with you, every step of the way. And so are we. Keep fighting, friend. You're stronger than you think.
