The biggest struggle I have right now, is the temptation to masturbate and lust. Recently, I led on a girl that I do care about, and we participated in sexual acts. At the same time, I’ve been working on her about God and the Church. I think this is the biggest guilt. This, also, has happened quite a few times. I feel so sinful and dirty. As a young guy, I am constantly surrounded by sex and sexual images(not trying to make an excuse, just makes it a lot harder). At the same time, I seems to always willfully put myself in situations that purposely lead to sin. The one thing that shames me is going to confession every week for the same sin - I give into my temptation very easily.

Please, brothers and sisters in Christ, pray for me that I may get through this battle of sin.

Thank you.
 
You are in my prayers brother. Might I recommend praying to Saint David Galvan Bermudez? He has always helped me. Research him. He might give you some hope. God bless you.
 
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord GOD. “Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you." Ezekiel 18:30

Thank you Lord that mbrown75 will repent and turn away from sinful desires and lust. Wash him in Your Blood Lord, so that he can become a new person, filled with the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ.
 
when you read the Bible you will be confronted with many heros who were not immune to temptations.just to mention the few David,Samson and king Solomon.David faced the same situation,but Joseph overcomed not because he was better than David or us.josephs victory lied on the subjection of his feelings to the obedience of Christ(in other words his feelings were baptised)and simply trusting in Jesus.2corinthians12:9"My Grace is suffient for you, in thy weakness thats when my power is perfected says the Lord.my brother you need to understand that Jesus in times of hardships thats when He sticks closer than a brother.you dont need a prayer of a saint.prayer does not substitute duty.you have work to do:"this is the work we must do to believe on Him that has sent me"Jon6 vs 29.you must believe that God never makes a requirement without making provision for its fulfilment.please prayerfully read 1Corithians10 vs13
 
Lord, may Mbrown15 keep away from all occassions of sin. May he know that putting himself in these occassion of sin with him knowing that he easily falls into these sins is in itself another sin. Give him the courage to stop watching television and any bad films and help him to practice custody of the eyes. May he keep away from all bad company and spend time doing spirtitual and scriptural reading and prayer. He needs to pray often for the virtue of chastity because the Church teaches us that that is the only way people will receive the ability to be chaste. Help Mbrown to pray fervently and for a great part of his day. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Pray for help to the saints. Here is the life os St Aloysius Gonzaga, who died at 23 and is patron sanint of purity (he had to struggle against lust). therealpresence.org/archives/Saints/Saints_008.htm
And keep up going to frequent Confession. Don’t worry to repent of the same sins, with the grace of the Sacrament they will be less often, as you get strengh to overcome them.
Talk to St. Aloysius as to a friend, and sure he will intercede for you.
God bless you
