Prayer against sexual sin

Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Your blessed name. In Your power, You know all those who earnestly want to be delivered from captivity of sexual sins.

You taught us about love. But to some, love is manifested as lust. We pray for our brothers and sisters living in the bondage of sexual immorality, especially the ones who live it in secret. We pray that in Your grace, they can be set free from pornography, masturbation, adultery, sexual fantasies or any kind of fornication and live holy, pure lives.

Pleading Your blood over all of us that we may never fall in this area – through abuse of our sexuality by our own actions or by the actions of others – opening the door for the enemy to oppress us. Heal our homes and marriages, our children, siblings, the young and the old in our extended families and our friends.

May they have the courage and integrity to recognise their folly and fight it, with Your grace. Pour forth Your Spirit on each one of us so that we may never fall into evil.

Heavenly Father, we pray for those who are involved in various forms of sexual immorality. We know that, until and unless they truly make up their mind and come to your aid, satan will reign and captivate their bodies. They will be lured into acts which only bring harm to their mind, body and spirit.

In Your mercy and compassion, forgive them, O Lord. By Your power, grant them the strength and courage to overcome these desires and lures by refraining and focusing on other more important matters in life.

Lord, help them realise that their bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, where the love and peace of God abides and generates to all mankind.

Free them from the prison of sexual sins. Help deliver them, O Lord, from being prisoners of their own bodies and from not enjoying the pleasures of life in the right manner.

Lord Jesus Christ, we pray and ask You to break the control and manipulation of sexual thoughts and images over people’s minds and bodies.

Please, forgive them. Set them free from all consequences of their sins. Cleanse them of all defilement of spirit, in their mind, in their conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels.

Come, Lord Jesus and set free these who suffer and want to be set free from sin.

Please take their feelings, emotions and redirect them towards You.

Be the chief focus of all their passions and create a new heart and spirit within them.

In the sweet name of Jesus we pray. Amen!

Pray this prayer over yourself

Lord Jesus Christ, I confess here and now that you are my Creator (John 1:3) and therefore the creator of my sexuality. I confess that you are also my Savior, that you have ransomed me with your blood (1 Corinthians 15:3, Matthew 20:28). I have been bought with the blood of Jesus Christ; my life and my body belong to God (1 Corinthians 6:19–20) Jesus, I present myself to you now to be made whole and holy in every way, including in my sexuality. You ask us to present our bodies to you as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1) and the parts of our bodies as instruments of righteousness (Romans 6:13). I do this now. I present my body, my sexuality [“as a man” or “as a woman”] and I present my sexual nature to you. I consecrate my sexuality to Jesus Christ. Now and forever, Amen.
