Pray For Repentance – Jeremiah 15:19

Therefore this is what the Lord says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them. 
Jeremiah 15:19

Breaking free from any habit begins with a change in mindset. The human mind is a powerful tool. What you focus on and commit to will ultimately shape your actions and behaviour.

Overcoming pornography addiction is no different. The first and most crucial step is repentance. To repent means to experience a true change of heart and mind. Seeking pornography prayer points shows that you acknowledge your actions as wrong and genuinely desire to turn away from them. This is where prayer for repentance becomes essential.

The Bible assures us that when we repent, God not only forgives our trespasses but completely wipes them away and restores us. His grace is always available to those who seek Him with sincerity.

So many scriptures in the bible let’s us know that if we repent, God not only forgives our trespasses but he also wipes them out and restores us.

Below is a prayer you can use as a guide when seeking repentance from pornography addiction, along with some Bible verses to meditate on as you pray.”

Prayer for repentance

Dear Father,
Please help me to break free from this habit that has held me captive. Grant me a change of mind and a change of heart. Your Word promises that if I repent, You will restore me. So I confess my sins, God. 
I am a sinner and I've given in to my lustful desires and taken on the habit of watching pornography. Please help me to let go of this habit. Transform my actions and obsessions. Let my passion be for Your Word and let Your favour fall upon me. 
Help me to draw near to You and remove my old ways from my life. Turn me back from destruction and cause me to walk in Your light. Illuminate the darkness in my heart, and let me live a life that is worthy of Your praise, so that I may serve You faithfully.
Amen.

Bible verses to meditate on as you pray

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

This verse reminds us that no matter how deep we have fallen into the trap of pornography, God is always ready and willing to forgive us when we come to Him in confession and repentance. His grace is greater than any sin we may commit, and He is waiting with open arms to cleanse us and help us start anew.

Ephesians 4:22-24

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Repentance is not just about feeling sorry for our sins, but it’s about actively turning away from them and renewing our minds to be more like Christ. We must shed our old ways and desires, and intentionally choose to live in righteousness and holiness.

Romans 6:12-14

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

When we give in to the temptation of pornography, we become slaves to sin and allow it to control us. However, through the grace of God, we have the power to overcome sin and live in righteousness. By presenting ourselves to God and choosing to live according to His will, we can break free from the chains of pornography addiction and live a life that honours Him.

Isaiah 43:25

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

This verse is a powerful assurance that God not only forgives our sins when we repent, but He also chooses to forget them. We do not have to carry the burden of our past mistakes and failures with us forever. God offers us a clean slate and a fresh start when we seek His forgiveness.

Proverbs 28:13

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

This verse highlights the importance of being honest and open about our sins. Keeping our struggles hidden only allows them to fester and grow in darkness. But when we bring our sins into the light and confess them to God and others, we open the door for His mercy and forgiveness to come in and set us free.

Repenting from pornography addiction is not easy, but with God’s help and the support of others, it is possible. These bible verses offer hope, encouragement, and a pathway towards healing and freedom. May they guide you in your journey towards renewal and restoration.
