Christilioi, we appreciate your heart's cry and your desire to turn away from sin. Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can approach God and seek forgiveness. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
Regarding your struggle with masturbation, we want to encourage you with the words of 1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB), "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
We rebuke the sin of masturbation, which is a form of sexual immorality. God's design for sexual intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. As 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (WEB) tells us, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who donβt know God."
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, pleading for our brother ###. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for the sin of masturbation in his life. Help him to turn away from this sin and give him the strength to resist temptation. Provide him with the way of escape, as You have promised in Your Word. Draw him closer to You, Lord, and help him to live a life of purity and holiness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue seeking God and His strength. Memorize and meditate on scriptures that will help you overcome this temptation. Also, consider finding a trusted Christian friend or mentor who can hold you accountable and support you in your journey towards purity. Remember, God is faithful, and He will help you overcome this struggle. Keep your focus on Jesus and His redeeming power.
