I don’t know what specifically advice wise but I feel bad I knew this was going to happens daisy weeks maybe even months prair and I still let happen, I feel bad for her myself and God. I prayed for him to help this from happening but it didn’t seem to work, I beg for advice or anything, thanks
Listen. I’m not saying this as someone that’s perfect but because you asked for my advice this is what I would do in this scenario. Read James 4 and psalm 51 and then just pray. Sit with God for as long as you feel led to. After you’re done and you’ll know what I mean when you read it. God will lift you up and you can remind yourself of His promises in Romans 8 and in John 5-6. Going forward understand how weak you are. You can’t just resist temptation by willpower alone. Don’t have your mind set on how to gratify your flesh or focused on the sin as that leads to death but instead focus on how to glorify the spirit. Make a practice of reading the Bible for 5-15 minutes a day before you even go on your phone in the morning. Remove your triggers. Social media, secular music, going out certain places. If this seems too costly to you. Consider if you actually want to be free from this sin or just the consequences. The Holy Spirit is your best friend and he helps you in our weakness. God’s Grace is sufficient for us. Trust in Him. It is predestined we are conformed to the image of His son. If you are truly born again
