Please pray for me, as I am near to coming into the Church, yet I still suffer from sins of lust and impurity nearly every week.

I confess often but It seems I’m lacking faith or I can’t give up the pleasure.

Thanks
 
It can take time to change your focus from self-pleasing to God’s perspective,
and any habit, needs re-training. Even if you have lapses, try again. That’s how we change any habit or focus.
Persistence in trying again with God’s grace, will lead to a mind and heart that is focussed on God’s wishes for you.

I ask You, Jesus, to help Jerok to try and try again to eradicate this habit and tendency, and focus on Your thoughts and ways.

“Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9)

Although we have may difficulty in seeing divine action within ourselves, we have a God whose “strength does not lie in numbers, nor Your might in violent men, since You are God of the humble, the help of the oppressed, the support of the weak, the refuge of the forsaken, the saviour of the despairing.” [Judith 9:14-16]

To You then, our God, we entrust humbly ourselves.
And to You, I entrust Jerok.
 
Jerok I am praying for you to be able to overcome your lust.
This is a good prayer for you to recite

Prayer to Saint Michael for Powerful Aid
Glorious Prince of the heavenly hosts
and victor over rebellious spirits,
be mindful of me who am so weak and sinful
and yet so prone to pride and ambition.
Lend me, I pray,
thy powerful aid in every temptation and difficulty,
and above all do not forsake me
in my last struggle with the powers of evil.
 
Have you tried praying the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, right after getting tempted? That may help! "Prayers are on the way!! 🙂
 
Praying for you. :gopray2:

Praying hard for you, this is a sin that is hard to over come. When your make your first reconciliation/confession talk w/ your priest, most understand. If you feel good w/ this confessor stay w/ him, even if you have to confess weekly, he will work w/ you. I relapse more times than I like admitting here. Jesus in merciful, just ask, show true repentance and work hard at resisting temptation. The devil will work hard on you, especially right after confession. St Michael please help Jerok, Holy Spirit grant the grace of strength to resist temptation to Jerok. For this I pray :crossrc:

Peace & all good
