You guys probably know me by now and are probably tired of my posts

But I really want to break this porn addiction

Mostly because I wanna be better with God
But also now i know of all the social issues and medical issues it causes

My depressed feeling is gone for now but I know it comes from the weight of realizing you sinned and falling into it feeling like failure

I know I may need the grace from a good confession I know and I know sin can punish my life
I’m aware and have had sleepless nights of crying because of it

(I have so many built up mortal sins but I’m afraid to ask my parents to take me or ask to let me go myself/talk to a priest/find a priest after mass)

But I just need prayers
Prayers have never let me down
I pray for God to protect my social life and the next time I see people usually it’s great

So please I need other voices to
Pray for me to become determined again
Pray for me to find new ways to fight it
Pray for me so that can stick to olds methods and not ignore them

I’ve fallen twice today and many things tempted me

I just want to be free of it
I have enough plaguing my mind
 
Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength, fortitude & wisdom in your time of need.
 
I remember one Lenten season our priest said “How are those Lent intentions going?Well , if you’re falling into the same ole sin despite your best efforts you are not alone. That’s what I’m hearing in the confessional and I want you to know you are not a failure and you are not alone.”

So therefore, keep on trying and eventually with God’s grace things will fall into place.

Therefore you have my heartfelt prayers that you can get motivated again to tackle this issue and overcome it.

God Bless,
Mary.

Thank you

I hope I can just almost forget I’m addicted and be free of it forever

And get back to searching for my vocation

Can’t wait to have meritable good deeds after confession

I also want to go to confession on mercy Sunday
So I can feel the weight go away

Just something I thought id share that I read the other day -
Jesus to Catalina:
The Ark of the New Covenant - loveandmercy.org/Eng-ARK-Reg.pdf
(Roman Catholic Imprimatur)

**It is necessary that a soul recognize who it is without its God. It is necessary that it humble itself. If a soul recognizes its misery, its nothingness, if it asks for pardon, if it rejoices in the fact that it is not of any value, it is because the soul is very close to Me.
  1. Thus, this soul will not feel hurt if I call its attention to the faults committed because it knows that sanctity is not in the falling, but rather in the rising again… Once it is well positioned in the full knowledge of its littleness, it will confidently come to Me with love, so much as to receive My graces as to make reparation for its sins and to be able to console Me. And this soul continues building with its humbleness, a brilliant ladder, upon which My Throne will inexorably descend to its heart. **

I hope this has helped

God Bless

Thank you for reading

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.

Concluding Doxology of the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy

Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
 
Do you have a regular confessor or spiritual director? The important thing is not to let the discouragement cause you to give up altogether, which is what the evil one wants. Even if you keep falling, if you keep getting back up, going to confession and trying to stick to your resolution to be pure, he ultimately loses the war and he knows it. But he tries to convince you by winning these little battles that you are lost, that you are enslaved, that you are dirty and that you can never be free of these temptations. But try to remember St. Paul’s words: "“For when I am weak, then I am strong.” God’s grace will be your strength but you have to call upon it. Praying for you on this feast of the archangels…

A PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL, GABRIEL AND RAPHAEL,
THE ARCHANGELS

Heavenly King,You have given us archangels
to assist us during our pilgrimage on earth.
Saint Michael is our protector;
I ask him to come to my aid,
fight for all my loved ones,
and protect us from danger.
Saint Gabriel is a messenger of the Good News;
I ask him to help me
clearly hear Your voice
and to teach me the truth.
Saint Raphael is the healing angel;
I ask him to take my need for healing
and that of everyone I know,
lift it up to Your throne of grace
and deliver back to us the gift of recovery.
Help us, O Lord,
to realize more fully the reality of the archangels
and their desire to serve us.

Holy angels,
pray for us.

Amen.

I’m breaking the rules by telling you this.
But one of the best things you can do when you suffer is
to take the focus off yourself and pray for others.
Try praying for people who are posting on the Prayer Forum
–– at least once a day.

Or try this prayer, if it works for you.

A Prayer for Others

Lord, help me live from day to day
in such a self-forgetful way, That even
when I kneel to pray, my prayer
shall be for others.

Help me in all the work I do to ever be
sincere and true, and know, that all I do
for You must needs be done for others.
And when my work on earth is done,
and my new work in Heaven’s has begun,
May I forget the crown I’ve won, while thinking
still of others.

Others, Lord, yes, “Others” let this motto be.
Help me live for others that I may live for Thee.

:gopray2:

P.S. I apologize for breaking the rules.

I wish I had a regular confessor

But my family rarely goes to confession (they usually only go when religious Ed requires it)

And asking them to take me or let me go is annoying and I’m scarred to do it

I know I’m being pesky, but you could at least start to “get motivated” again. You don’t need anyone’s permission. You don’t need to be driven to church. It’s just a place to start. Certainly you can do this. You could try it, just for one day. Spend an hour. Spend 30 minutes. Spend 15 minutes. Spend five minutes. It can’t be that difficult. I pray the Holy Spirit will grant you the power.
