Self-harm

Lord, I just pray that you would be with me as I struggle daily with SH. I have been free of it for the last three months but recently I have been thinking about it more and more. I need your help to have the strength to hold out, to ignore the need to cut. This is not something I want to be part of me anymore. I recognise its destrucive powers over me. I just pray that you would hold me in your arms and keep me safe from harm. Lord in your mercy hear my prayer. Amen

Dear God, Thankyou that I have had some success with my addiction to masturbation. I confess that I have slipped and asked for your forgiveness again. Please help me on my path to taking control of my life. I know I need to be obedient and I have to work at it. Help me to let go of my past failures so I can concentrate on my future of being closer to you.

God, why am I stuck here, why cant I move from this place. I do so much for the church, show only a happy face in the preasence of my friends, then go home and die a little each day. I want to be free from homosexuality, from internet pornography, but its just become a lost cause, A cycle where I go to church, get energised to fight the battle, survive and even thrive, for a while, and then, saten finds a small chip in my armor, no more than a scratch, and sets off a trigger, then I fall back to where I first began. This life is too long to live alone... Where are you? Do you even hear me any more?

Hi, I am a christian who has fallen away from God. I used to be a full time youth pastor. I still have faith, but do not practice my faith. I have had a problem with pornography for a while. Now it seems to have a grip on my life. It wastes valuable time. My main source of porn is the internet. I have never paid for porn, but every time after I indulge, I feel physicaslly sick. I realise and understand that it is wrong, but I am just addicted. It has become a bad habit. I neec help and prayers. God I need you!

Hay Jesus, me again I really need to give you this problem I have. See you know that I am totally sold out for you but ever now and again my old life comes back and hits me. Drugs and alchole have been the way I have coped with so may painful things in my life but I don't want to do it that way any more. When things get hard and stressfull all I want is a drink and a joint but I totally know that doing that has never helped me in the long run. I have kept myself clean for over a year apart from one slip up.................sorry let me refraze that YOU have kept me clean for a year. I could have never made it this far without for help, support, love and devotion. You have done a total transfermation within me!! But Lord you know that tonight I really wanted to go to the off lience and get a bottle of wine and drink it on my own. I so wanted to dull out the pain I am feeling inside. Sometimes things just feel so overwelming! Lord I know that your wine is the only wine I need. God I give my pain to you and I ask that you would help me to keep surrendering to you. Forgive me for wanting to cope on my own with out you. Jesus I so want to walk with you each and every moment of the day. You are my only hope with out you I cannot beat this! So Jesus I give it all to you and by faith believe that you will sort out all the crap that is with in me. Lord you made me so you are the only one who knows how to truely fix me. Thanks for speaking to me tonight and stopping me from buying that wine...............you are looking after me!

Loving Heavenly Father, I've known You for years and You've never abandoned me throughout the traumas of my relationship with an addict. But Lord, You know that bitterness and resentment have been building steadily - at the loss of my own life and confidence and from the actions and words of someone who should be sorted by now. Help me to draw strength from You, moment by moment, not to let the sun go down on my anger, soften my heart and inspire daily forgiveness. As You have shown much grace and mercy, let me imitate this. Help me to be patient as the crimes against me are repeated, Holy Spirit, I know I must forgive seventy time seven. Show me how to remain righteous with unholiness happening in my home. Thank You for Your faithfulness in our situation - I still trust that You are in control. In Jesus' prescious Name, Amen.
