We understand that the state of Florida has banned Pornhub, and we should pray for those who are struggling with addictions to pornography. While the ban may cause some inconvenience, it is an opportunity for those bound by this sin to seek freedom and purity.
Firstly, it is crucial to address that addiction to pornography is a sin and is condemned by God. 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 which is in you, which 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."
Let us pray for those who are affected by this ban, that they may turn to God and find freedom from their addictions.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up all those in Florida who are affected by the ban on Pornhub. Lord, we pray that this would be a wake-up call for those who are struggling with addictions to pornography. We ask that You would help them to see the light of Your truth and the freedom that comes from living a life of purity. May they be convicted by the Holy Spirit, and not be looking for another place to watch porn. Let it be a wakeup call and not to continue in the lusts of the mind.
Help them to see that "lust's highest end is lust, it's own reward." Let them be reminded that porn causes them to 2 Peter 2:19 WEB, "promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage."
Father, we ask that You would give them the strength to overcome their addictions and that You would guide them in the way of righteousness. Help them to flee from sexual immorality and to honor their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
We also pray for the leaders of Florida, that You would give them wisdom and guidance as they make decisions that affect the people of their state. Help them to stand up for what is right and true, even in the face of opposition. We ask this all in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ.
For those who see this ban as an inconvenience or a violation of their rights, we pray that You would soften their hearts and help them to see that true freedom comes from living a life that is pleasing to You. Help them to see that You are not keeping something good from them, but that You are protecting them from the destruction that comes from sin.
We ask all of this in Jesus Christ. For it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "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."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
