Smoking

This addiction has been a stronghold for years and I would love to break free. There are three things that hold me back: 1- I enjoy it 2- withdrawal symptons- cravings 3- habits and routines, like wake up in the morning, before and after a meal, at break times at work etc please pray for me so that i can be set free from this. Love to you all. Steven X

Well God has ways and means of reaching us all, no more true today as it ever was! I too suffer with the issue of masterbation and/or pronography and I can clearly relate to those messages already posted (i've only read 2 pages of them and there r lots).. I hope that my testimony of this can help somebody in some form, and that I can also get prayer for it too... I suppose it has been with me for a good 5-6 yrs now and I was not a xian when it started. This firstly reinforces what i read about how God accepts us AS WE ARE, baggage included - but it also highlights that it is a PROCESS that you need to go through, which God sees potential to use FOR THE GOOD! I've had periods when I have not done it, up to a good 2 months at one point, but i've also had times when it has totally over-run me and taken over my life. When it happens I'm like a different person.. guilt stricken, perverted, and generally sick (mentally and spiritually). But when im not doing it, im happy and full. God is dealing with me, more recently that ever, but I know - just like an alchoholic, even if I slip up i must get up and carry on the fight. THE TIME WILL BE RIGHT when GOD wants to heal me. I am convinced that what trouble I go through now will one day be my strong testimony, and hopefully help somebody in a similar position! I believe that due to family break up and generational habits have led me to this addiction, but I also believe that it is MY GENERATION that it STOPS at! To all you fellow addicts, remember, the devil is holding you back for a reason - he doesnt want you to be FREE and live the life GOD intended for you! Come on warriors, let's god and whip some devilish butt!!! Gods blessings Paulo P.s. feel free to pray for me too though....

Jesus i know that you are Lord and you can heal me from this addiction. I know that you died on the cross for my sin and that you defeated death, so Lord you can defeat this! Please Jesus fill me with your Spirit so i can learn self control, please please Jesus help to me stop this addiction and to draw closer to you. Please free me from the guilt i feel whenever i sin. Jesus, i am so desperate to end this addiction, i beg that you will show me a way out and help me walk the right path. Jesus i feel i am walking in darkness but i want to be in the light where you are. I can see the devil is fooling me, he is like a prowling lion waiting to pounce whenever i am weak. Lord may you build up my defences, give me your armour to fight against his attacks, give me the strength to defeat this ugly sin. Help me to know your peace always and draw ever closer to you. I love you Jesus and i thank you so much that you died for me and have offered me freedom from sin. Help me to remember this everyday so i can know that God loves me and that i am blameless in His sight because of you. Lord praise you, you are mightier than anything on earth! In your name i pray, Amen

Lord I come to you, and listen to you only. Help me when the devil tells me how filthy I am and that you don't love me. I know that you do. I don't confess to be good, I don't confess to be worthy of your love, but I know that you love me anyway. Help me to break my addiction. I can't do it alone. I need your help. I need your strength. I can't break my habit without you. Help me and strengthen me. Show me a way out. Help me to overcome temptation; overcome the addiction. I need you Lord. Show me a way out. For your glory Lord. Amen.

Lord, I was nearly there and i fell again. I know you have infinite grace. You have a ladder sooo massively long you can rescue me from any hole i've dug myself. Lord I call on your name for strength, and protection. Lord i repent of all i have done. I have done some awful things, yet your arms are still open for me. Your grace is boundless, your love knows no limits. Lord its hard, society accepts so much that is wrong, yet with you on my side anything is possible. Help me get through this. Lord I know i am not alone, satan is using sex and porn to try and pull many down. Lord he has no power, for you rule above all. Lord we long for the day when the war will be won, and satan will be cast into the pit. Until then lord, keep me strong, keep my brothers and sisters strong, and may we unite to fight for you. Amen

Dear Lord, I thank you for this place. You know my struggle with pornography/masturbation has been going on for over a decade. But somehow, Lord, I see a light at the end of the tunnel, somehow I see myself being almost free from this. I know it's not through my own prayer or commitment, Lord, but I believe it is through your wonderful grace. Lord, I confess my failure to live my life in accordance with your directions - Lord, I fail to give you any time in my life, instead choosing to waste it with something destructive, hurtful and sinful. Lord, I praise you that through your grace alone, you are setting me from this before it ruins my family, my relationships and my life. Lord, I am stunned that so many in this place are suffering from the same problem. Lord, forgive me for getting so caught up in myself that I didn't realise I am not alone - never alone. Father, I lift each and every one of them before you right now, knowing that no bond is too strong for you to break; nothing is too deep for you get under; nothing is too powerful to defeat your will. Lord, for everyone suffering with this very real and very sickening addiction, I pray for freedom. I pray for release, and I pray for a new understanding and a closer walk with you in all areas of our lives. Amen...
