Pornography is one of the most subtle and destructive addictions gripping lives today. It thrives in secrecy, feeds on shame, and distorts the heart’s understanding of love, intimacy, and purity. Many people—both men and women, young and old—struggle in silence with this bondage, unsure of how to find freedom or afraid to speak out. Yet, Jesus Christ came to set the captives free.
Victory over pornography doesn’t come from willpower alone—it comes through deep spiritual transformation. Through prayer, accountability, scripture, and surrender, healing can begin. Prayer is not only a weapon against temptation; it is a pathway to renewal. It allows us to bring our guilt, desires, wounds, and weaknesses before the One who redeems all things.
The prayer points below are crafted to guide individuals (or those interceding for others) into a place of spiritual warfare, honesty before God, and healing through His Word. Each prayer is rooted in Scripture, addressing strongholds of lust, impurity, shame, addiction, identity, forgiveness, and freedom.
