Brothers and sisters, please pray for me today! For the past three years I have been fighting the battle against the desire to engage in solitary acts of impurity. I have been experiencing strong physical “urges” (yesterday morning and this morning) that seem to have come out of nowhere. It has been 21 days since I last succumbed to this. I feel like I am under direct attack. A very strange and disconcerting feeling.

I will be making Christmas preparations and running errands today, and will have periods of time when I am alone. Which is a danger. Well, if nothing else this is a potential cure for complacency and hubris.

Pray for me today, and I will be praying for you. God bless and have a wonderful Christmas.

I will pray that you will be able to resist the temptation to sin…

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.
 
Stay strong and trust in the Lord. His Power is much stronger than any of the urges we as humans may have.

Will pray for you.
 
May our Lord help you to pray a lot, to frequent the Sacraments, and to place all of your confidence in Him. He will help you, if you keep away from occasions of sin and do these three things. May He help you to find a good spiritual director/confessor. May you persevere and keep yourself busy and around people as much as possible. Amen. Have a blessed Christmas!
 
Thank you to all who responded on this thread and to all who read my plea and prayed for me today. I made it through the day without falling - I know that your prayers helped me.

While running my errands this morning I was able to stop at my church this morning and spend a short time praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I will continue to pray and I will take the good advice of those of you kind enough to post a response.

I have made great progress in three years of struggle (prior to that I was willfully ignorant that offenses against purity were sins) but days like today do come and I have not always been able to withstand the temptation. But I know that the Lord will stand by me, and I will only fall if I cease leaning on Him and try to win this fight on my own. Stumbles come when we think we can do it on our own.

I am still learning. Thanks so much for the help, and for the prayers. God bless you all and may you have a joyous Christmas!

Trust me, your case is not uncommon. I am sure that most guys experience the same thing. As for me… I had been there, done that. Everything from massages to masturbation… Dont let it get there… Lust truly is self destructive, its better to realize that now than having to go through it and realize at the end that you have regretted everything you have done.

I hate the demon lust and I will echo what I had posted on the other thread.

to be Catholic means to be counter-cultural. I was, and I still feel the same way as you do. the solution is MARY MARY MARY and daily praying the rosary… she has really helped me alot. I am far from being chaste, and now I would give anything I can to be pure again. I wish I had saved it all for marriage… sigh. Back then, it was something I took for granted, now I regret what I have done. Please wait until marriage… you dont know how destructive lust is… from STDs, to unexpected pregancies, to the destruction of relationships and marriages., abortions… once you lose your virginity, you lose it forever… The root of all this stems from impure thoughts…Once you act on those impure thoughts, things will start to snow ball… I learned that the hard way.

stay strong, stay prayerful
