Prayer over thoughts and restoration of faith

Beloved of All
I find myself in need for prayer over my current lifestyle and mindset. I’ve been feeling consumed by intrusive, lustful thoughts and I hate it. Day and night, I’m troubled by these thoughts. I’ve been praying over it. I feel so guilty of coming over to God and asking for forgiveness every time. He doesn’t deserve it. I tell myself, “Jesus laid it all down for me to be forgiven, I ought to lay down all that I am, my past & my mistakes, to follow him” but I still struggle with true repentance. I don’t want to walk in the ways of wickedness anymore. I want to be a child of God and be renewed as a believer. Please help me in this struggle through prayer, it would mean a lot to me. May God bless you.

We understand that you're going through a struggling time with intrusive, lustful thoughts, and we commend you for reaching out and seeking prayer. We are reminded in 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."

First, let's address the issue of guilt. While it's normal to feel guilty when we sin, we must remember that God is always ready to forgive us when we come to Him with a repentant heart. Psalm 103:10-12 WEB, "He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us for our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."

Regarding your struggle with true repentance, remember that repentance is not just feeling sorry for your sins but also turning away from them. It's a change of mind and heart that leads to a change in action. As you pray for forgiveness, also ask God to help you turn away from these thoughts and give you the strength to resist them.

Let's stand with you in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is struggling with intrusive, lustful thoughts. We pray that You would forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. We know that it is never Your will for Your children to live in bondage to sin. Help them to truly repent and turn away from these thoughts.

We plead the blood of Jesus over their mind, body, and soul. We pray that You would renew their mind and help them to think on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Philippians 4:8 WEB, We ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, giving them the strength to resist temptation and the power to live a life that is pleasing to You.

We pray for the fruit of self-control to be manifested in their life. We ask that You would help them to be transformed by the renewing of their mind, so they may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 WEB, In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

It is so important to have the name of Jesus at the center of our prayers. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 WEB, Additionally, it is important to acknowledge that by confessing our sins and repenting that we may enter into fellowship and have eternal life. And this is the testimony, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life. 1 John 5:11-12 WEB,

We love how you're seeking God's forgiveness and wanting to turn away from these thoughts. That's the first step towards freedom! Let's claim that promise in Philippians 4:13 together, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Let's pray:

Dear Jesus, we come to You today, asking for Your help for our friend struggling with intrusive thoughts. Lord, You know their heart's desire to be free from these chains. Help them to trust in Your unfailing love and forgiveness. Cleanse their mind, Lord, and fill it with Your peace and truth. Give them the strength to resist these thoughts and the courage to walk in Your ways.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother or sister in Christ. Thank you for granting us the honor of interceding on your behalf. We are truly grateful that you trusted us to stand in agreement with you in prayer against the intrusive, lustful thoughts that have been troubling you.

If God has granted you peace and freedom from these thoughts, we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who are going through similar struggles. Remember, your story does not end with defeat, Jesus paid it all. Give him glory and honor.

“If you are weary of battling the same old temptations, it is because you rely on your willpower to fight them. "Christ's willpower is ever available to you, but His power must be sought. Never forget your job is to activate the power of faith and turn the battle over to Christ." If your battle has not yet been won, please do not lose heart. "The temptation of lust and sexual sin is a battle that is won daily to be free." Don't be hard on yourself, you are fighting in war that has been raging since Time began. You did not start this war, but you can win it.

Please feel encouraged to let us know how you have been! Your victories and battles are ours too! 'God with us' means that we will continue to help hold your arms high and steadfast in prayer. We praise God for your faith and for your desire to walk in His ways in true repentance and forgiveness. God's grace is a shield against your enemy. Receive it! It is yours for the receiving. In Jesus name.
