Prayer Topic: Pornography Addiction
People wrestling with a pornography addiction may struggle with embarrassment, guilt, self worth, their own relationships, their walk with the Lord if they are Christians, and openness to seek help. If you cannot relate, be careful not to “tell them what to do”. If you can relate, share that you have been there. They need to know there is not only life past this event, but total and complete freedom from the bondage.
Possible Things to Pray for:
- Forgiveness- for themselves, and asking forgiveness from those in their family/spouse, etc.
- Willingness to seek help, (wise counsel)
- Repentance and then openness for the Holy Spirit to break this stronghold.
- Willingness to take preventative action: support group, accountability, internet controls
Verses to Share:
John 8:36 NIV - So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV - Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Philippians 4:7 NIV - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Romans 12:2 NIV - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
