Seeking God

I'm 13 years old and I've struggled with pornography on and off since I was around 10. It wasn't that big of a deal until about 3 weeks ago. The only sexual sin thats been apart of my life has been masturbation and I've been wanting to get rid of it and haven't been able to. After getting done with masturbating there's this guilt/ shame that falls over me, so I went to talk to my youth pastor about it. He gave me some hints and was saying how "masturbating" it's self isn't a sin, it's the lust, porn, thoughts that goes on before. He was saying that you have to make a commitment and ask God to help you with lust/porn. So I think when we're in those tempting situations, God provides a way out (1 Cor 10:13)
He will lead you out, if u ask Him, it's just hard to ask Him cause it's so tempting. We're just so selfish when we do what we want though... We should be living for God not ourselves. I hope this helps!
