Pornography Prayer in America — A Brief Overview.
Pornography is one of the most common problems faced by all age brackets in the United States due to the unproblematic access of the digital world. To address the problem, many churches, ministries and Christian communities have also initiated prayer programs, support groups, and accountability ministries that emphasize on spiritual healing and freedom. Prayer meetings focus on repentance, purity of heart and dependence on the Scripture with believers lifting each other up in confession and intercession.
Major themes in American prayer activities are:
- Admission of the spiritual and emotional conflict of pornography addiction.
- Redemption through heart-felt repentance.
- Asking God to change the mind and refresh the heart in accordance with the teachings of the Bible (e.g., Romans 12:2; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
- Nurturing responsibility, societal encouragement, and lifetime discipleship.
The church prayer sessions, internet prayer sessions, and personal prayer sessions support the idea that it is the Holy Spirit that overcomes one against addiction and not personal strength.
