I just released after 11 days. I feel horrible. I’ve prayed for this addiction to go away but the urges got to me. Do I keep praying for forgiveness for what I’ve done because I feel like I keep letting God down for what I’ve done after every relapse. I keep going to him but i keep going back into the cycle. Am I letting him down as a person. Please give me guidance.
It’s ok to feel guilty because it shows that you want to change and are not ok with how things are going.
Yes you should pray and try to stop it from happening again. Now in the word we are told to do one thing when it comes to lust, RUN. If you don’t follow the one instruction we were given to deal with list then you will never overcome it. If you relapse because of social media DELETE IT. If it’s because of pictures in your phone DELETE THEM COMPLETELY. If you end up on porn sites then try to live in the present and do something else when the thought to go to that site comes, preferably something that has nothing to do with a phone or a computer.
It’s ok to feel guilty for what you’ve done but don’t let that get ahold of you. Dont ever convince yourself that your unworthy of forgiveness or Gods love. Satan will try to get you after your relapse to make you feel like you’re undeserving. But God will always forgive you, and God will always love you. Pray for courage in this battle, your failures don’t define you
No because think of it like this, when you run a long distance race you’ve trained for it, and then in the middle of that race you’ve trained trip and fall, does that mean you’re out of the race? That you can’t get up again? That choice is up to you. But God doesn’t hold us down, he’s gonna help you get back up if you let him, so most importantly don’t give up, keep fighting the fine fight. You can do this, why? Because you’re not alone.
