I tried to look at pornography on my phone tonight. Pray for God’s continued help in my struggle against pornography and self-stimulation.
When you pray for God’s help in this struggle, pray also for the women who are victims in the pornography evil web.
For help with your pornography struggles, I once heard a priest talk about the importance of a man praying for the beautiful women who they were tempted to sin when “seeing”. He said to see the woman as God sees her, that God made her beautiful and how much God loves her.
Maybe that would help you. You see these beautiful women who are precious children of God on the computer. You also see them with the images that are seared in your memory.
Ask God to release your memory of these women.
Ask God’s blessings over these women.
If you think about these women as victims, it may help as well. They truly are victims. Many of them may be in great pain as they are at the photo shoot. Some may be suppressing the pain - it is not a healthy normal function of the body or mind to submit to pornographic photography.
Why is she there? Is she addicted to drugs and needs the money? Is she being exploited by her “boyfriend” or pimp? Is she a victim of sex trafficking?
How much emotional pain is she experiencing while participating in the pornography business? How does she feel about the men who will view her body? Does she feel hatred towards each of them?
How much shame does she carry every day hoping no one recognizes her? Is she fearful she’ll be “found out” by neighbors, by people at church or her kids’ school? Is she fearful one day her children will know or her family?
Is she doing this to “survive”? Is she forced? Does she suffer low self-esteem?
Does she even know her pictures are on the pornographic sites?
Pray for these poor women. Pray they can escape the pornography business.
See these women as God sees them. Offer prayers for the suffering they endure. Ask your guardian angel to join you in prayer with the guardian angels of these women.
