Summary

  • Twenty-one prayers against pornography: one to break its hold, nineteen short prayer points each paired with a King James verse, and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer collect “Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts.”
  • The prayer points cover the moment of temptation (Matthew 26:41, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Job 31:1), the hour after a fall (1 John 1:9, Romans 8:1, James 5:16) and a long habit (2 Corinthians 10:4–5, Romans 12:2, Ezekiel 36:26).
  • Separate prayers cover a husband or wife who uses pornography, a spouse who has found out, a child who has seen it and a friend who has confessed it.

  • Anything involving children must stop at once and can be reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline in the US or the Internet Watch Foundation in the UK; Stop It Now helps people worried about their own thoughts.
  • The word “pornography” is not in the Bible; the WHO’s ICD-11 lists compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (6C72) and says moral guilt alone does not meet the diagnosis.
