I’ve battles impure sins for a little over a year now, I’m 17, and in the beginning when I sinned I was filled with fear and the urge for God, and I was scared to commit these sins (in a good way). Now I don’t ever think or realize the severity of my impure actions, and I am constantly using confession as an escape route, and I am failing to repent afterwards, I feel as if I am losing God, and losing the feeling of security I used to have. I’ve spoken with my Priest but he’s kind of “soft” and can’t give me any help. Any thoughts on what I can do? I Love God, I hate sin, but I am presuming forgiveness and feeling lost from God. And more than anything I don’t want to go to Hell, which I am scared Than I am. I’m not scrupulous, trust me I just want advice,
Thanks!

Try to stay strong, accept that you’re not a bad person. Rather, you are human. You’re fighting a nearly unwinnable battle. Some struggle with “impurity,” others with substance use, others with gambling, or overeating, or you-name-it. Do your best, and get to Confession when you can.
 
Thanks for the response, that’s what my priest tells me, but I feel I’m being too lenient, and slowly punching my ticket to hell. Idk

Are you going to confession? Are you saying an act of contrition after you sin? Then you’re not “punching your ticket to hell.” You’re growing. Trust in God’s mercy and everything will be okay. Meditate on Jesus carrying the cross and remember that even He needed aid on His path. Do not be afraid to seek help for yours.
 
Nothing different, I’ve just battled so long I slowly began to become more lenient, I mean don’t get me wrong I feel bad and disgusted after I do this, but I just feel as if I’m not “disgusted with myself” enough, if that makes sense, I don’t feel as sorry, and I just feel spiritually lost
 
Appreciate it, I’m doing all that, but I just feel as if my mindset isn’t right. I’m not hard enough on myself.

Friend, if you’re slowly punching your ticket to hell, I’m already riding up in first class with a hot towel on my face and a cold drink in my hand.

Baloney. You’re being too hard on yourself. You’re not trusting in mercy and seeking help, you’re losing hope. Knowing that God loves you and wants to forgive you isn’t presuming salvation, btw. There’s a difference.

I was in similar boat and it was because I let up on daily routines
(1) saying rosary (I do it during a walk, my Priest suggested as excellent way to connect body and soul)
(2) read daily meditations/readings (I’m reading “Divine Intimacy “ now it’s amazing)
(3) daily fasting/sacrifices (could be no meat Friday or no music in car or fasting or no TV one night etc )
 
Any tips to regain it? I’m struggling praying? Appreciate it
 
Good idea, I need to just do more and not expect more. Appreciate it!
 
It’ll take time, but start off by telling God what’s in your heart. Reveal your burdens. Tell God you’re exhausted and on the edge and need strength. Bring yourself before Him and He will give you comfort and healing.
 
Thank God you’re sorry for your sins, but by now, you should’ve forgotten them. The devil wants you to feel sorry for yourself and to miss the mercy of God. God, on the other hand, is more than willing to forgive you. All you have to do is take refuge in Christ. Even the worst sinners in the world are called to take refuge. I’m assuming that you’re not the worst sinner in the world, but even if you were, that wouldn’t change God’s desire to have an intimate relationship with you.

Yes, you are a sinner; absolutely. However, I read in my Bible that we have an advocate with the Father-- Jesus Christ the righteous (1 John 2:1). Seek refuge in the Lord and He will take you back. It only takes a few seconds to do, but it has eternal ramifications. His desire to save you is far more potent than a person’s desire to sin. He is powerful enough to forgive any sin.

That doesn’t mean we can live a habitually carnal life, though.
 
Right, thanks for taking time to help me, it means a lot
