I’ve been a Christian my whole life. It wasn’t until I was 11 and in 6th grade that I actually started struggling with Porn. I had some other issues, and started battling depression. In 7th grade it progressed further to self-harm. I leaned on my youth pastor, and eventually he made me tell my mom. I stopped self-harm, and tried everything I could to get of the websites. I eventually did, but found another source; erotic literature. Is this still sinning? I mean, there is a whole book in the bible on sex (Song of Solomon). I’ve been struggling with porn for about 1/3 of my life, I want to move on. I’ve prayed when I was tempted, begging God to help. Sometimes it works, most of the time however, I still read the literature or turn to porn. I feel terrible, and half the time when I ask for forgiveness I just feel like a failure even more, I don’t feel pure, I feel dirty and down right disgusting. Any help? Thanks
So i started watching porn when i was 12 and it has caused me years of grief andheartbreak. Tis past year i said i finally had enough and told my parents and we got me x3 watch 9 months ago and over the summer i even destroyed the laptop i was sneaking onto blocked facebook removed my door and got rid of all that stuff that led me to porn but the images remained in my mind and still caused me to sin and then my parents got a new laptop that i started sneaking onto and was forced toput the door up after a month and that was this summer. I have spent the past 6months tracing every root and finding out what made me sin and found that i felt the girls in porn liked me more than the much better girlsin my life so i kept goinf back to porn.i hear got screming in my ear that i gotta stop and whenever i set myself up to stop i have some dream thats erotic and it causes me to falland i always feel like crap afterwards.my question is what is the final thing i need to do to get porn out of my head once and for all so that its not my own mind causing me to fall. I pray that jesus give me drems about him or anything except prn but by morning even if ive gone one dy or weeks without porn i see it in my dreams and i alredy know that im gonna fall. How do i get these images to stop?
Austin,
This is a very tough thing to remove but, it does go away after time. If you want to remove the images from your head you need to stop looking at these images which keep filling your mind.
I would suggest talking to your parents and tell them everything and how much this is causing your pain in your life. Then I would go to your church and talk to them about this and find yourself some solid counseling for what you are going through. It sounds like you are in deep and you will need to have this along with good accountability.
None of my accountability partners are ever around how do end this continued sin with help from some other guy i know God will help me but i feel isolated and i can’t win with someone else help but no one seem to remember the struggle i have and tries to keep me accountable is their anything else i can do?
Matthew,
Have you thought about telling your parents what you are going through and asking them to be your accountability? Or have you approached a pastor in your church to do the same. There are other avenues that can be tougher but, if you want to remove this it is what needs to happen.
