I didn’t break my porn streak but I broke abstinence streak today. I had many opportunities to turn away, but I gave into temptation and my flesh. I honestly don’t know if I can come back from this. I know God is loving and forgiving, but after today I think my grace has run out completely.
Brother, when I feel this way after I slip and fall into temptation, I like to look back to what Paul wrote in Romans: “Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:34-35, 38-39 CSB Nothing can separate us from the love of God, the road is narrow and hard, but we can always cry out “Abba, Father!” And He will be faithful. Where sin is abundant, grace is even more so! We just must hold fast to Him and His faithfulness, and not just return to our sin as a dog returns to his vomit. I’m praying for you, brother
Seth that’s awesome, i needed to hear that also. Remember your effort in Gods grace, he’ll never give you an obstical to big, “My grace is sufficient”
Gods grace will never run out. Whenever I have these thoughts I always go back and look at the people that God used in the Bible. They were all broken people and God turned them around and used them for great things. One big example is King David
Dude, don't feel guilty. Leave your shame because it only hurts you, just remember that this is something wrong and that's one of the reasons that you don't want to do it. I'm not Christian, but I'm sure there is forgiveness for you and someone who truly loves you would truly forgive you. This someone can be you. But remember that a guaranteed forgiveness isn't a reason to feel safe doing it again, so cut off your opportunities that can make you feel tempted and remember your regrets in the future. stay hard bro 💯💯💯
