Free Guide

The 60-Second Escape Plan

The iOS app launches very soon.

Keep this where you can reach it the second an urge hits — on your lock screen, or printed by your desk. It is built for the 60 seconds that decide everything. You don’t have to feel strong to use it. You just have to start.

“God is faithful. When you are tempted, He will also provide a way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”— 1 Corinthians 10:13

This is the free field card, not the app Ritual. When the urge hits, do these four moves in order. Out loud if you can.

STEP 1HOLD

Break the grip.

Press your palms together — or your hand flat against a wall — and hold for ten slow seconds. The urge runs on autopilot; a body held still breaks the loop before it takes over, and hands pressed together can’t scroll.

Be still, and know that I am God.Psalm 46:10

Pray: God, I’m holding on to You instead of it.

STEP 2LOOK

Turn your eyes.

Name what you’re actually feeling — bored, lonely, tired, anxious. The urge is often less about sex than about escape. Look up from the screen and lift your eyes to God instead of the thing.

I lift up my eyes… My help comes from the Lord.Psalm 121:1–2

Pray: Father, I see what’s really going on in me. I bring it to You.

STEP 3PRAY

Invite God in.

Say one sentence out loud. You are not bothering Him, and you are not too far gone to be heard. Come exactly as you are — mid-urge — and ask Him for the way out He already promised.

Let us come boldly to the throne of grace.Hebrews 4:16

Pray: Jesus, I can’t do this alone. Be my strength right now.

STEP 4MOVE

Reset the body.

Get up. Change rooms. Cold water, ten push-ups, step outside — anything physical. Urges tend to peak and pass, often within minutes. Move your body until it does, and put distance between you and the screen.

Make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.Romans 13:14

Pray: Jesus, I want You more than I want this.

When you can’t find the words

Pray one of these. That’s enough.

  • “God, I want You more than I want this. Help me want You more.”
  • “This is the way of escape You promised. Give me the strength to take it.”
  • “Jesus, be stronger in me than this urge is. Right now.”

The next 10 minutes

  • Leave the room you’re in.
  • Text a brother: “Praying — tempted right now.” You don’t have to explain more than that.
  • Put your phone in another room, or hand it to someone.
  • Do something physical for ten minutes.
  • Thank God for the escape — even before you feel free of it.

If you’ve already fallen

Shame is the second attack, and it’s the one that keeps men stuck in the cycle. There is no condemnation for those in Christ. Get up, tell God the truth, and take the next right step. One fall is not the end of the fight — it’s one round of it.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”— Romans 8:1
If you’re in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself, this plan isn’t enough on its own — reach a real person now. In the US, call or text 988(Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or chat at 988lifeline.org, any time, day or night. Outside the US, find a local helpline at findahelpline.com.

Make it your lock screen.

The plan only works if it’s there the second you need it — so we made you a wallpaper with all four Escape Plan moves and a battlefield prayer.

The free card gives you four moves. In the app, you press and hold — then PrayBreak walks you through the three-step Ritual: LOOK, PRAY, and MOVE, in real time. You just read the plan. The app puts it in your hand the moment it hits.
