Hi please pray for me. I’m a 28 y old woman scared of falling back into sexual sin. I haven’t watched porn in a year and a half . I’m resisting the urge to watch porn, but it’s even harder to resist thinking about extremely inappropriate shows I used to watch because they’re funny or have “likable” characters. It’s awful. I detest it. I try to resist by repenting and praying, but when they come at work, I can’t worship out loud. It’s so hard. I’m going to prop up my Jesus icon at work tomorrow and hopefully that will help get my mind off of bad things if I’m thinking them at work. I also need to buy a plaque with a Bible verse too to put on my desk.

But also, I pray multiple times everyday, but my prayer life is becoming weaker. I listen to the Bible while I’m on the go rather than sitting down and reading it. I need to worship more. I’m so distracted on my phone watching instagram. I’m trying to scare myself to fear God again and also think about His love. He does not PLAY when it comes to sexual immorality because I’ll go to the lake of fire forever if I keep at it with lustful thoughts. Also, Romans 8 talks about death being the end result of living according to the flesh.

I feel like what Peter described in 2 Peter about a dog returning to its own vomit. I don’t want to fall away ever again. I need to cling to Jesus as close as I can. I ask Him for His mercy almost everyday and tell Him this too. I’m scared of falling away and being in a worse state than before. I dont want to be overcome by these thoughts. I want to be holy and free from these awful thoughts.

Hey I just want to let you know that I'm also going through something similar. Remember, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that the temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. I'll be praying for you.

Recuerda que toda nuestra vida aquí en la tierra es un proceso y a esto se le llama santificación progresiva,hasta cuando Cristo el Señor nos lleve alcanzaremos la santificación total porque seremos como él es. La naturaleza humana siempre buscarà lo terrenal,y solo la sinceridad de corazón es la que permitirá que Cristo a través de su Santo espíritu nos vaya transformando como lo dice las sagradas escrituras

Querida amiga y hermana,lo importante de todo es saber reconocer que nadie puede renunciar a nada ,ni dejar de hacer nada en la carne,si no está con nosotros quien le dió vida a nuestra carne,por lo tanto solo él puede sujetar y cambiar nuestros instintos y decéos carnales,no te atormentes pensando en que no puedes,porque efectivamente no podrás ,piensa y entregará tu vida entera ,cuerpo,alma y mente a quien te formó él obrará en ti todo si corazón le entregas tu vida en sus manos.Cristo Jesús nuestro señor y Dios.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
