Masturbation

Dear God please help me to quit this awful habit, there are times when I am able to avoid this temptation. But it is beyond me to quit mastubating completely, I pray again that you will help me to grow closer to you ant to stop this habit. I have had this habit for a long time and I know I can't quit on my own please help me.

Lord, I come to you again. I have given into temptation once again. Despite encouragement and prayers from my friends, I fell. I have been trying so hard, and every time I start to get there I fall again. What I do disgusts me, it shames me to the very core. Such a contrast of your bright light burning within me, right next to the trash I keep piling in my soul. And now it no longer resides on my computer screen, it resides in my mind. I have fed my mind rubbish, instead of pure and nutritious soul food. It haunts me during the day, I struggle with relationships with women because of the filth I have taken in. Lord, I know what I deserve, but I'm on my knees, begging you for forgiveness, begging you to purify me once again. Give me strength against temptation, and confidence to battle Satan. Lord, on my own I am worthless and useless. Through your name may I succeed in quitting this. I pray for those who are having this same struggle, for I know I am not alone. I pray that they would realsie what they are doing to themselves before they do what I have done, and ruin their minds, like smearing ink across a clean white sheet. Lord I praise you for what you have done, and I am forever in debt to you for your sacrifice. How can I ever repay you? Please take what i give as a small token of praise. Lord work in me, fill me so full of your spirit that there is no space for the things of this world. Lord may the rubbish and filth be pushed aside, to make way for more of you and less of me. I submit to you, for I cannot do it alone. I come before you in Jesus' name begging you to grant my prayers. Amen

Lord, I know I have sinned. I come to you head bowed, knowing I can't conquer this under my own power. I submit to you, and pray for strength. I know I conquer this, for you say we will not bee tempted beyond what we can stand against. Every time i think its going well, complacency kicks in and satan pulls me down again. Help me give this up before it drags me under. I know satan runs from truth, so help me hold on to the truth of Christ crucified. When temptation comes fill me with your holy spirit, make me a temple for your holy spirit. Lord I pray for others going through this, I pray that they would not feel alone. I weep for a society where such atrocities are just accepted, I pray for renewal and revival in this place. Lord I call on your holy and powerful name to get me through this, out of the hole I have dug for myself. I don't deserve to get out it, but you have forgiven me. I praise you for your mercy. Hear my prayers, Amen

I Love God so much. i know that through his amazing sacrifice, i am free. he has changed me so much as well. but one thing that comes back at me again and again is masturbation. i know its holding me back from going deeper into God, but every time i try to break it, i give in. I would value prayers. I want to grow in my faith, and become more like him.

Father God, please help me to stop cutting myself. I love You so much, but I feel so far away from You right now, like evil has just parted us. Oh Lord, please help me, renew my love for You and the happiness you bring me. I can't take this depression and loneliness anymore. Father, please, save me, I feel like such a terrible person right now.

Lord, I know of Your love, kindness and grace, I pray that You lead my brother in the right direction. He is using some illegal drugs and being around the wrong people in the wrong environments. He gets really moody and his personality is always changing. Lord help him out of his problems. But most importantly, help him know You as I do.
