I need help
Day 1

Day one…I don’t feel a massive urge but it’s just so accessible that it’s hard. Every time I hear “why not?” “One more time.” “Just one more time.” And afterwards I feel like garbage. The devil draws me in saying it’s not so bad then calls me unworthy of forgiveness after…I’m struggling. Haven’t fallen though. I don’t want to. Lord help me.
The devil wants to desensitize us to this filth. The more we go on with it, the less we seem to care as we give into it. Ask the Lord for help, not only because this drowns you in shame and guilt, but because it’s His will for you to live a pure life. I think of Psalm 119 where David asks how a young man can keep his way pure, and it’s by obeying his commandments. It sounds so simple but it’s a battle. Also think of your childhood self, the nostalgia, your mind as a child and where you wanted to be as a man. This is not who you imagined yourself to be. Use it as motivation and block out the urges. It starts in the word man. I’ve been there man, I’m praying for you. Hope this was encouraging
