Prayer to Overcome Lust and Walk in Purity

Father,
You are holy, enthroned above the heavens, clothed in majesty and strength.
The earth is Yours and everything in it. No temptation is greater than You.
No darkness can hide from Your light. You speak and it is so.
You command, and even storms submit.
You alone are the King of Glory, and power belongs to You.

You have never failed.
From the beginning, You have rescued the righteous, upheld the weak, and made a way through every wilderness.
You shut the mouth of lions, split seas in two, and gave victory to those who were outnumbered. You took my shame before, and You will do it again. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

But right now, I confess—I’ve let lust linger in my heart.
I’ve given room to thoughts and desires that do not honor You. I’ve looked when I should have turned away. I’ve entertained what I should have cast down. I’ve chosen pleasure over purity.
I’ve sinned against my own body—and against You. I make no excuses. I take full responsibility.

I come to you, calling on the name of Jesus, my Advocate and Deliverer.
By Your blood, I am justified.
By Your blood, I am sanctified.
By Your blood, I am made clean.
The Accuser is silenced. His case is overruled.
He has no power over me because Jesus died for my sins and defeated the enemy.
Because of You, I have been made holy, just as if I never sinned.
The blood of Jesus is cleansing me right now.
I plead the blood over my mind, my heart, my eyes, and my body.
Let it be the banner over every temptation.
Let it be the proof of my redemption.

And now, in Your name, I take authority—
I cast out every unclean spirit that has attached itself to lust, perversion, pornography, fantasy, addiction, and impurity.
Every whisper of shame, every lie of the enemy, every generational curse
—I break it in the name of Jesus.
I sever every tie to darkness. I renounce the enemy’s hold.
The gates of hell shall not prevail over me.
What You have set free is free indeed.

I declare Your promises over my life:
I am a new creation.
Sin is no longer my master.
Your Spirit leads me and teaches me to say no to ungodliness.
You provide a way out every single time.
I can do all things through You who give me strength.

Lord, I need You.
Help me guard my eyes. Renew my mind daily.
Teach me to walk by the Spirit and not gratify the flesh.
Give me a hatred for sin and a hunger for holiness.
Let purity be my standard and peace be my portion.
Surround me with accountability and strengthen me to run when I need to flee.

I speak this truth into my soul:
I will be led by Your Holy Spirit.
I am no longer bound to lust.
I am not a slave—I’m a child of God.
I’m not drowning in shame—I’m covered in grace.
I am not who I was.
This is a new day. This is a new life.
 And from this moment forward, I walk in the light.

In the mighty name of Jesus—Amen.
