Thought

Day 6

I had a thought that hurt. I’m alone. Every day that passes I’ve been alone for longer. I work out, I try to refrain from porn, I have Jesus, but for some reason I just got a wave of sadness for no reason. If you guys saw me then you’d think I’m crazy bc I have so many people around me that love me and stuff, but I can’t explain the feeling of depression that came over me. As I look at dating from a Christian perspective, I can’t imagine any woman willing to have a relationship with me. If I told them I’d had victory for 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months…if I were them I’d look at that and say “that’s too recent.” I’m starting to feel like no matter how much victory I get the consequence I deserve is to be alone. This might just be a little phase or my hormones might just be buggin

I know He hasn’t…how could I believe that fully when He died for me? That’s another thing that makes me feel guilty. Is doubting His love. How could I? It’s stupid. And it’s probably frustrating hearing me vent haha so sorry if it is. Truthfully I’ve been struggling for so long and fall into the same thought cycle. I always come out back to God, but it always happens in the same order. Please pray for me.

He hasn’t bro. And never will. You don’t understand the countless prayers He has answered for me. And the countless times I’ve repented. His mercies are new every morning. However that doesn’t mean we go back to sinning.

I’m having such a hard time discerning the spirit and the lies from the Devil…my brain wired itself to focus more on the justice and holiness of God and forget His Grace. Sometimes I don’t repent because I feel like God is annoyed with me or He knows it won’t matter cuz I’ll just fail again. I know that it’s not true but for some reason my heart and mind becomes heavy with grief. That God had forsaken me and I deserve it.

Hey! I’m a fellow Christian and I had this same thought when I was getting back in to dating. Women know, and understand that pornography/masturbation is something almost every person struggles with, especially guys. When I was open and honest at the right time, they were understanding and proud of the progress I’ve made. Though, I still struggle and push on I found someone that is there to push me forward!

Timothy I know how you feel. God has a purpose for you and you have to know that. The times that you’re feeling alone is a tactic the enemy uses. As an extrovert I myself am surrounded by so many people and crowd myself with so many voices that when I get by myself I feel lonely. But it’s in those quiet times I can feel God. Don’t let your past define your future. The mistakes you’ve made in the past is behind you. God calls us all to PRESS towards the higher calling

It’s hard to masturbate without selfish desire or lust

Are you saving yourself for marriage

Are you not allowed to masturbate in Christianity?
