God, for all I know, I could be the only person in the world that does this. And because I don't know anyone who has this problem, it is incredibly embarassing to write it here. Try as I might, I have been unable to stop picking my pimples for 12 years. (Or spots, since I think this site is British). I have had the uncontrollable urge since I was 14 to run my fingers over my face searching for pimples to pop, many times leaving deep fingernail marks in my skin, and many times causing bleeding. I've tried different pills and skin creams, but nothing has cured me. What is this sickness? Why do I do this? What am I supposed to learn through this? I am as baffled as the people probably reading this entry, and yet I live with it every night. Can You shed some light on this issue for me, Papa? Thank-you in advance for helping me. Erin

Lord, I'm sorry. I am so weak without you. I miss the closeness that we once had and it hurts. I'm finiding it so difficult to believe in you right now and evil is taking such a strong grip on me. I hate what porn is doing to me, it seems a day can't go by without my thinking about it. It breaks me apart that my heart is not as pure as what it once was. I'm afraid that I won't be able to break away from this, I'm worried that If I meet a christian partner they will think ill of me for my sinful thoughts. I'm worried I won't find love. I'm worried that I've lost your voice in the midst of porn. Lord, please don't give up on me as I fear you have. I'm sorry. Jay

Lord help me in my pain and lonelness. God what has happened to me why have I fallen in to sin again. Lord I so want to run after you and depend on you for all I need. Lord I have met a really nice guy (christain) and we get on really well. I so want to be loved by him but I know he will not ever feel that way about me. Last night we sat in the car and talked for hours. Then we started touching and I so wanted to sleep with him. He felt really lust full toward me but that dosn't mean he loves me. Thank you God that we stopped before it got to far. But we have both hurt each other. I don't want to feel this way towards him I want to just love him as a friend. I know that he has a real weekness with lust and I took advantage of that. God can our realationship be pure again? Lord you know that the last time I gave into lust in my own life I spent 7 years apart from you in a realtionship that was not Godly. You saved me out of that and I am so thankful. I am so happy that I am back in realtionship with you. Jesus with out you there is nothing in my life you are my hope and reason for living. God please help my thoughts to be pure toward my friend. Help me lord to banish all of my lustful thoughts and depend on you to help me. God you know the pain I have felt from previous realationships. I feel that for a man to love me a have to give my body sexually to them. God I pray that you would break that patten in my life. Your word says I am a new creation and that I have been set free from sin. God don't give up on me........ I get it wrong so often and you are still full of grace towards me. But I so need your help to make it.

Father God I pray for release from the chains that are binding me. Smoking (in secret), masturbation are holding me back form having a pure relationship with you. It is also destroying my 19 year marriage, together with the rhings that occured in the past I pray for a new annointing on my life and a revival in my marriage.

Lord help these people who are fighting addictions to see that you are a God of endless grace and mercy. Lord you brought me through addiction to Heroin, crack, violence, money, sex, pornography and masturbation but you brought me through those one at a time. Help all my brothers and sisters to see that they are on a journey that is directed by you and not the powers of earth. Lift them up today Lord, let them see that you only deal in conviction and forgivness not in guilt and shame in Jesus name ....Amen.
