My mom caught me looking at porn and i was ashamed. I have been fighting this battle for a while. She will not talk to me and she is extrely angry P,ease help
Confess this to God and tell Him that you want to change and that you want for Him to send people in your life who will help you win this fight. He will hear your pray and He is a powerful God but, He will not just come down here and stop it for you. He will provide you the tools and the resources but, He wants you to step and do this thing.
After you have talked to God about this find someone right away that you know who can be your accountability partner. Someone who you see often and will have the ability to hold you accountable at all costs. Being your age I would suggest it be someone who is your elder and will be able to provide good mature counsel on this issue. This can be someone from your church, family member, and maybe even your parents. I know this step is tough but, you have to do this if you want to get free from this. You will not be able to do this on your own.
After you have an accountability partner you need to sit down with them and build a plan figure out what your triggers are and how they affect you. Get accountability software. If the internet or mobile devices are you hang up and this is where you turn to get your porn, get accountability and filter software right away and get this covered. We have a great program called X3 Watch that you could use for this. Set up a meeting schedule to meet with your accountability partner to discuss how things are going and if you are following your sobriety plan that you have developed with them.
Do not think this will go away over night; you have trained your brain to need this crap and you will need to train your brain that it is not needed and that it will hurt you. Celebrate small victories and do not give up if there are stumbles, keep going and dig in for the fight. Please know that you are not alone in this and that God loves you so much. He will never remove His love for you because of what you did, are doing, or might do during your recovery. We are here praying for you and know that you can do this.
Dear xxx church , I don’t want to sound dirty or bad but I masturbate often , and I don’t understand why it’s bad ? I’m fourteen and have a lot of urges and my hormones are raging. My dad says its okay but after I do it I always feel guilty. I go to a Christian school and have a good relationship with God. Even our health class says it is okay, but then when I read these articles , it’s wrong. I just don’t understand
Our stance is simply this: you want to live a life that is honoring to God then start pleasing him and stop pleasing yourself. Stop making excuses and get some control over your life. Yes, it is tough. Yes, we know hormones are raging. However, God is calling us to holiness. Live an extraordinary life. Masturbation will leave you hanging every time! It is a selfish act that pleases no one but YOU. God created sex to be between a man and his wife. Not a man and his girlfriend and not a man or woman with himself or herself.
Ive been reading through a few of the questions with my friends and it seems the porn addiction is major problem with others which reliefs me (Knowing I’m not alone). But theres one question that me and my friends all want answer to. Is it a sin to watch porn if 1.Your not in a relationship and 2.If it Anime. The reasoning behind the second is that if the thoughts are not about another human being is it still wrong?
It does not matter if it is a cartoon or a real person. It brings you to a point of lusting after something, which is wrong and a sin. It brings about sexual thoughts that can lead you down the wrong path and creat issue later in life.
