My brotbers and sisters in Christ, i come to you because it seems my brain has become as useful as a bucket without a bottom that has thorns on the handle.
So, I struggle with an impure mind, mostly because (I would be a baldfaced liar if I said otherwise) I dwelt in the filth of the sin of pornography and its associated personal sin of lust for many years, despite me just turning 20. Ive recently made a big turn towards the faith and repented of committing these sins, however, the effects they have left behind just seem to severe for them to be temporal punishment, because I seem to suffer from an OCD symptomatic case of intrusive thoughts (note: I was never officially diagnosed), and in today’s society, temptation is everywhere (what a revelation, right?). I can repent of my physical sins, but sins of thought still plague me greatly, and living in the society we do, I know i can’t be the only one who suffers from this situation, so does anyone have any suggestions for how to overcome or at least deal with this without it becoming sin?
