[__ Prayer __] Sincerely need your prayers

[jhaycx]

Hi! I'm stuck up with this sin...
watching porn, reading sex stories and related sins.
most of the time when i'm in my room, solo, i always do it.

to solve it, i've been sleeping in our living room for more than a month now.
please pray for me... i want to consecrate this temple of God.
I've been like this for months... please pray. thanks!

If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out: translates to get rid of the computer and any books you may have, remove the part of the temptation you can

jhaycx, if you miss that for a day - the good new is that - you will still live.

Such a case, in most cases, requires God's intervention and serious prayers.

I encourage you to go back to that room and remain alone. I believe you can really overcome it. Just pray, trusting God, and you will see God working miracles your life.

jhaycx,

I think posting here was very commendable and shows your desire to stop sinning. I'd like to recommend a resource that may help you. Central to your repentance is the Gospel. Until you value Jesus more than you own pleasure, you will never overcome pornography. I've failed for many years in this area, and it really doesn't get easier unless something physically goes wrong with you, or your love for Jesus grows. Search, find, strive to find those things that will help you increase your love for Jesus, and God will help you. God is greater than your sin, and nothing will separate you from His love.

The resource is from a Christian radio host I listen to, and the cost is minimal.

Take care,

What Reba said.

I understand you may not want to actually chuck the PC out the window, but there are various programs online you can download and install that will effectively block any pornographic content from being visible. Most of them require a password, so have an accountability partner make the password for you when you aren't looking, or just type in a bunch of garbled nonsense that you won't remember.

Idle hands lead to sin. If you find yourself terribly bored and the temptations begin to come on, you would be *amazed* at how much just getting up and taking a 5 minute walk will change your perspective. Don't try to distract yourself with other things on the computer, get up, physically move away.

A lot of people struggle with this. We live in an age where we can see anything at the click of a finger. Remove the source, my friend!

thank you so much for your support!

I've overcome this! I believe someone prayed for me... its a miracle that i got a week w/o it.

I still handle it in many ways... I still sleep in our living room but the temptation wasn't powerful anymore because when i sleep yesterday in my room, i was able to stand for God this time.

It really help to have a firm and stable decision not to go back from the old you.

I accept not just Jesus but also what His kingdom has to offer.
New life, new character, new heart... everything's new! the old has gone!

It is true when He said, "if you seek me with all your heart, you'll find Me"
Its really the thing! "with all your heart"

I know this won't be the only problem/struggle i will have but if i will seek Him with all my heart, i know i can overcome any because He is willing!

In all the things that we're looking for, He's the only one willing to be found!
Thank you Lord!
Will post here again in case I failed... but i doubt it!

thanks and see ya!
