Really need some advice
Hey everyone…So this is my first time ever using an app like this. I don’t necessarily watch porn everyday but I do goon every day. Multiple times a day. I would say on average it’s at least 4 times or more. I have done that every single day the past 10 years. I know I have a major problem and I’m at a point now where I’m so disappointed and disgusted in myself that I’m just ready to fight and beat this addiction. I have also struggled in my walk with Christ. I have begged and pleaded with him to take this away but I still have the urge every single day. I have become a very luke warm Christian and I genuinely don’t know how to get closer to God. I’m ashamed to pray, and I can sit still long enough to read my bibles or do devotional. And my addiction to lust separates me even further. So I guess to round this up: I really need some advice, tips, and or ways you’ve guys used to stop masturbating. And even better if you have some tips/ways you used to get closer to God.
Hey, I'm not even sure I'm the right person for this; we're all struggling on this app right? Anyway, I'd say don't stop praying. When God looks at us he doesn't see our sin - even when it's all that we see. God sees you as a redeemed child of God - not as a guy who can't get his act together. Keep praying; no matter how hard it gets, and keep asking God for deliverance - "the righteous man falls down seven times and gets up eight." We'll all make it through this together. Keep praying, don't let yourself be alone, keep busy, maybe tell a friend and ask him to keep you accountable? I don't know, just ideas - you'll get through this!
