I know that it’s wrong but why do I keep doing it?!

We’re people of habit and ik that can’t be an excuse for engaging in PMO. I’m 25 and I’ve been celibate since birth for whoever my future wife will be. I’ve been also disconnected from community and loneliness has been a reoccurring problem and source for why I go to porn to try to medicate it. It never works and I know I need to trust in Jesus but it feels impossible. I don’t wanna give up and I’m ready to get RID of all this stuff that keeps me away from the man I want to be!
Prayers brother 🙏🏼. It’s hard to think that God cares if we are still struggling but it’s actually the opposite. God hurts when we give ourselves over to sin. One thing that has helped me is Romans 1 that says “they did not see it fit (or worthwhile) to acknowledge God..so God gave them over to their depraved mind.” It’s all over scripture that we are to deny ourselves and follow Him, put to death our evil desires. The action here is difficult but it is clear: chase after God and love Him more and more by understanding and learning about the Bible (His life and wisdom). Fall more madly in love with God and when you fall and stumble, immediately return back to his arms. Prodigal son! Don’t rehearse what you’re going to say on the way back to the Father, understand he doesn’t care. He just cares that you’re home and in his presence and wanting to get better. Acknowledge God and if you don’t know what that looks like than seek community and council on what that means!
