For Protection from Pornography
Loving Father,
Sex is your special gift to husbands and wives. It not only serves the purpose of procreation, but also provides spouses with a unique and pleasurable way to deepen their connection with one another. Sex is a good and beautiful thing, because you created it to be so.
Nevertheless, through the sin of pornography, our fallen world has cheapened and trashed this blessing. While the world increasingly normalizes pornography as a harmless option for anyone and everyone, it continues to drive sex-trafficking, devastate marriages, and devalue women. It is an intense temptation which technology has made so easily accessible to boys and men of every age. Guard their hearts from this dangerous sin. Protect teenagers adjusting to changing hormones, isolated and lonely men, husbands who are away from their wives for lengthy periods, and all others who are especially susceptible to the allure of pornography. Through a steady diet of your gospel, give them a spirit of strength and discipline, and the desire to stand strong and struggle against this temptation. Provide them also with caring Christian brothers to stand with them in their battle.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
