Forgive me God for my sins. Forgive me. Forgive me. Have mercy on me.

Forgive me. Please have mercy on me. Free me. Bring me to the light out of darkness.

Give me strength. Strengthen me for I am weak. Give me you grace, that I might change.

Wash my blackened heart in your blood, the blood of the cross. That I would be made white as snow. Blot out my transgressions. My sin is always before me. Please free me.

Thank you for my suffering.

Amen.​

I have been addicted to masturbation and pornography basically for all of my adult life. I am 22. Maybe I started masturbating when I was 11. Pornography in middle school and high school.

I’ve recently confided in a small number of my friends that I’m gay. But, since I told them, I think they would rather not address it. I told them out of desperation, because I need to deal with my sin. I am broken, and I need help… and I’m going to tell them that.

I have only persisted in my sin since I told them, and the last 2 weeks or so have actually been worse, or at least comparatively bad for me, in terms of purity.

Please pray for my forgiveness. Please pray that I could regularly see a priest every week for confession, and at least every month for spiritual direction. I honestly don’t remember the last time I confessed. I think it was Wednesday, October 22nd. … over 2 weeks ago.

Please pray that things would change. I want them to change. I want to work on them now. I want to make progress by the end of the year. I don’t want to wait any longer. “How many more years?” sometimes, I ask God in prayer that. How much longer?

Please pray for my freedom from addiction. I want to be free, and chaste, and pure, and holy.

Thank you.
 
Hi ssa fellow,

Prayers said for you, dear one.

May God bless you during this stressful time.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Three O’Clock Prayer

Dear Lord, remembering
the hour when You experienced death
So that we might have Eternal Life,
May we appreciate in our hearts
the necessity of Your sacrifice for us
And with Your help, Your guidance, and Your grace,
May we be made worthy of it.

The pain you feel resonates through your post and I am sorry you are struggling with being pure and chaste and suffering. May God fill your heart with the thoughts of his love for you and all of us in spite our sins. Don’t let those sins lead you to despair.
May you get to confession regularly, never give up because God is a God of all hope.
God bless,
Mary.

Lord Jesus, you said:
“I have come to set the captives free”.
ssa fellow is captive and needs your healing touch.
Free him, Lord, from his addiction, so
that he will be:
Free from the cares and worries that stifle
his happiness;
Free from sins that cling to him, and to
which he clings;
Free from all compulsive behavior that prevents
him from becoming what you, Lord, have
planned for him;
Bring him loving Savior, to the experience
of abundant life which you promised.
I ask this through your name, Lord, Jesus,
Amen
 
My God, You have given me a body to keep pure and clean and healthy for Your service and my eternal happiness. Forgive me for all my unfaithfulness in this great responsibility. Forgive me for every mean use which I have made of Your gifts in thought, word or deed since my rebirth as Your own adopted child in Baptism and my registration as a soldier of Jesus on the day of my Confirmation. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and give me a steadfast will that I may be a strength to others around me. Teach me to respect my body and the bodies of my fellow creatures. Help me to see the glory of perfect manhood in Jesus Christ and of perfect womanhood in Mary Immaculate. Inspire me with such love for the ideals for which our Savior lived and died that all my passions and energies will be caught up into the enthusiasm of His service, and evil things will lose their power. May my body be the servant of my soul, and may both body and soul be Your servants. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
You are in my prayers. Remember that you cannot win this fight alone and that Jesus Christ is willing to give you the necessary graces. I know that when you’re in the mood to sin, everything becomes hazy and you don’t even want to get off the “sex track” and then you regret it afterwards, but I have found something that I read very helpful. Every time you feel like sinning, say five Hail Marys so our Lady will intercede for you and, at least, I find that they work for me. I just started last week.

Also pray every day, if you don’t already, that God’s will be done in your life. God wants your purity and your salvation, so If you put your life in His Hands, He will help you and show you the Way.

If you need any further help, feel free to send me an IM. Hang in there. Some of us have gone through what you’re going through and have been delivered (although temptation will always be in our lives to a certain degree.)

Blessings,

Internet porn is very addictive and many people (men and women) cannot break the addiction on their own. Please consider professional help with this addiction. I would suggest you seek out a spiritual director who can suggest a few counselors who are trained in handling this type of addiction as well as believe in the Catholic faith. There are secular professionals who simply dismiss porn addiction as a “healthy” expression and that is not the case. Porn addiction is like no other addiction and will lead to other disorders if left untreated and unchecked. I pray for you that God will give you additional guidance and strength to face this tough road; He’s already blessed you with the wisdom to recognize what you do isn’t right and the courage to take the steps you already have to make it right.

Each day is a battle; put on the armor of God and do your best. If you can eliminate just one sin every day, you’re doing great! God Bless you.👍
 
Confession is the most powerful means to break the bonds of sin. I highly recommend it.

May Our Lady intercede for you and give you the Graces that you need through her powerful intercession.
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom to overcome your temptations.
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Praying for you, dear one. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you, and fill your heart with His infinite love. 🙂

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

Amen.
