Sometimes the journey toward freedom requires more than a few prayers. It requires persistence, repetition, and ongoing strengthening of the heart. These next ten prayer points continue from the first ten, giving you (or your readers) more ways to talk to God openly and honestly about this struggle. Every point includes scripture to keep your spirit anchored in truth.
Prayer Points Against Pornography With Scriptures
Struggling with pornography is not a sign that someone is weak or broken, it’s simply a sign that they’re human. Many believers fight this battle quietly, carrying the weight of guilt, shame, and frustration. But the truth is this: God never abandons those who struggle. He walks with us, strengthens us, and lovingly teaches us to rise again.
These prayer points are meant to help you connect with God in a real, honest way. Take your time as you read. Pray slowly. Let the words settle in your heart. Freedom is possible, and it begins with prayer.
1. Lord, give me the strength to turn away from temptation
Heavenly Father, You know how easily temptation pulls at my heart. Sometimes the desire feels overwhelming, and I feel powerless in the moment. But Your Word reminds me that You always provide a way out. Help me develop the inner strength to turn away before I fall. Strengthen my willpower and my spiritual sensitivity. Help me recognize temptation early and escape it quickly.
Scripture:
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” — Matthew 26:41
2. Lord, purify my mind and cleanse my thoughts
Father, my battle isn’t only with what I see, it’s with what I think. Sometimes images, memories, or thoughts come back uninvited. I ask You to wash my mind with Your truth. Replace unclean thoughts with holy ones. Replace impulses with peace. Replace heaviness with clarity. Create in me a mind that desires purity naturally, not out of fear but out of love for You.
Scripture:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10
3. Father, help me guard my eyes and avoid what leads me astray
Lord, protect my eyes. You created them to see beauty, not perversion. Help me become more intentional about what I allow in through screens, environments, and habits. Teach me to recognize triggers and gently guide me away from them. Give me the self-control to turn away even when curiosity arises. Let my eyes become windows of light, not darkness.
Scripture:
“I will set no worthless thing before my eyes.” — Psalm 101:3
4. Lord, break every addiction and cycle of secret sin in my life
Father, some cycles feel so deep that breaking them seems impossible. But what is impossible for me is possible for You. I ask You to break every chain, emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual. Replace my habits with healing. Replace my cravings with contentment in You. Break the cycle of secrecy, and teach me to live in Your light.
Scripture:
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” — John 8:36
5. Father, fill the empty places in my heart with Your love
Pornography often feeds on loneliness, stress, or emotional emptiness. Lord, fill those spaces with Your love. When I feel inadequate, remind me of my worth. When I feel lonely, be my comfort. When I feel stressed, be my peace. Help me see that no earthly pleasure compares to the joy of Your presence.
Scripture:
“In Your presence is fullness of joy.” — Psalm 16:11
6. Lord, remind me who I am in You
Father, the enemy loves to use shame to make me forget my identity. But You call me chosen, beloved, forgiven, redeemed. Help me walk in that truth daily. Let my identity shape my behavior, not my mistakes, not my temptations, and not my struggles. Teach me to see myself through Your eyes, not through the lens of guilt.
Scripture:
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.” — Ephesians 2:10
7. Father, help me walk in the light and not hide in secrecy
Lord, secrecy creates shame, and shame creates more secrecy. Break that cycle. Give me the courage to speak to someone I trust if I need help. Give me the honesty to come before You with transparency. I don’t want to hide from You anymore. I want to walk confidently in the light because that is where healing begins.
Scripture:
“If we walk in the light, as He is in the light… the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.” — 1 John 1:7
8. Lord, heal the emotional wounds that make me vulnerable
Father, sometimes my struggles come from deeper wounds, rejection, stress, loneliness, insecurity, or old trauma. Heal those broken places inside me. Touch the parts of my heart that feel fragile. Help me understand the roots of my struggle, not just the symptoms. As You heal me emotionally, make me stronger spiritually.
Scripture:
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
9. “Father, help me develop new habits that lead to purity
Lord, pornography may have become a routine, but You can help me build healthier, life-giving routines. Show me how to use my time wisely. Guide me into habits that strengthen my spirit, prayer, worship, reading Scripture, working out, resting, or connecting with people. Replace destructive routines with holy ones. Let my life be filled with purpose instead of temptation.
Scripture:
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:2
10. Lord, give me long-term freedom, not temporary relief
Father, I don’t want short-term victories. I want lasting transformation. Walk with me daily. Strengthen me in moments of weakness. Help me rise when I fall. Surround me with Your presence every step of the way. Let purity become my lifestyle, not out of fear or pressure, but out of genuine love for You.
Scripture:
“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.” — Philippians 1:6
11. Lord, give me spiritual discipline and self-control
Father, Your Word says that self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. Strengthen me with that fruit. When temptation tries to take over, give me the discipline to say no, not in my own strength, but by Your Spirit working in me. Help me practice daily self-control in small moments so I’m stronger in big battles.
Scripture:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
12. Father, help me replace old habits with healthier ones
Lord, pornography often becomes a habit formed during boredom, loneliness, or stress. Teach me to recognize those moments and turn to healthy alternatives, prayer, reading, going outside, connecting with others, or doing something creative. Help me build new rhythms that lead toward life, not toward bondage.
Scripture:
“Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16
13. Lord, heal my view of intimacy and purity
Father, I admit that pornography has distorted how I see intimacy, relationships, and even myself. Restore my perspective. Show me the beauty of purity and the holiness of intimacy as You designed it. Teach me to honor my body and the bodies of others. Let my heart value purity as something precious, not restrictive.
Scripture:
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8
14. “Father, remove the shame that tries to silence me
Lord, shame whispers lies that tell me I’m unworthy, dirty, or too far gone. But You call me forgiven, redeemed, and clean. Silence the voice of shame and replace it with Your truth. Lift the weight from my shoulders so I can walk in confidence again.
Scripture:
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1
15. Lord, restore my joy in You
Father, sin often steals my joy, leaving me feeling drained, guilty, or spiritually numb. Restore my joy—the joy of Your presence, the joy of worship, the joy of freedom. Let my life be filled with gladness that comes from knowing You. Replace emptiness with fullness and heaviness with lightness.
Scripture:
“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.” — Psalm 51:12
16. Father, give me wisdom to avoid environments that make me stumble
Lord, sometimes victory is about wisdom. Help me recognize situations, times of day, emotional states, or environments that make me vulnerable. Give me the courage to change my patterns, set boundaries, and protect my heart. Let wisdom guide my choices so I don’t walk into temptation unaware.
Scripture:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23
17. Lord, surround me with supportive and trustworthy people
Father, You didn’t design us to battle alone. Send people into my life who can encourage me, pray for me, and hold me accountable in love, not judgment. Help me build connections that lift me up spiritually and emotionally. Community is part of healing, and I ask You to send the right people at the right time.
Scripture:
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
18. Father, teach me to run to You when I feel weak
Lord, sometimes temptation hits when I least expect it. Instead of running to old habits, teach me to run to You first, through prayer, worship, or simply calling on Your name. Let my instinct be to lean on You, not my weakness. Remind me that You are always near.
Scripture:
“The Lord is near to all who call on Him.” — Psalm 145:18
19. Lord, help me forgive myself where I’ve fallen short
Father, I know You’ve forgiven me, but sometimes I struggle to forgive myself. Help me let go of the guilt from past mistakes. Teach me to see progress instead of perfection. Remind me that every step toward You, no matter how small, matters greatly in Your eyes.
Scripture:
“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” — Psalm 103:12
20. Lord, help me become a testimony of Your restoring power
Father, as You continue to free me, help my journey become a testimony that encourages others. Let my healing give hope to someone else who feels trapped. Use my story to bring light, healing, and courage to others. Make me a walking example of Your grace and power.
Scripture:
“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” — Revelation 12:11
