Some know I have been struggleing with Masturbation. I have failed earlier in the day. I am going to say act of perfect contrition and then go to confession. Just need prayers. I feel so weak. 

thank you all. and thx for prayersHow about saying the Act of Contrition before your feet hit the floor each day? The Lord’s prayer, followed by the Act of Contrition sets the mood for the rest of the day, and certainly brings graces.
Try viewing your sin as you do any addiction, such as to drugs or alcohol: they are a lie. They promise something, deliver even less, and leave you worse off than before you gave in. They are a lie because they come from the evil one - a liar and the father of lies.
Lord, You have sustained Mini gerbel in life thus far, with a love that surpasses all human understanding. Grant pardon to the contrite heart and strength to avoid evil this day, and each day. I ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever an ever, Amen.
You have shame only before God. It matters to Him not one bit if your sins are known to the world, as He is the only One Who judges. For, there is nothing hidden that will not be brought to light. For those struggling, and despairing over failures, St. Francis de Sales offers this strengthening counsel:Someone please pray for me too in regards to this sin
I am absolutely amazed at the brutal honesty at this place. I absolutely love it.I have also been to scared to post this for my sake,too. The shame of it all.
"For, whether we desire it or not, we shall be tempted. If we do not struggle, we shall not be victorious, nor shall we merit the crown of immortal glory which God has prepared for those of us who are victorious and triumphant.
Let us fear neither the temptation, nor the tempter, for if we make use of the shield of faith and the armor of truth, they will have no power whatsoever over us."
Lord, as Your Saint in Heaven advises, may we not avoid, but embrace the struggles of this life, accepting them as the blessings that they are, and the graces they bring once mastered through faith and trust. In Your Divine Mercy, you permit us to be tested, as gold in fire, so that through testing, we may be made pure and acceptable in Your Holy and Eternal Kingdom. Strengthen us, O Loving God, for that which, in Your mercy, lies ahead. Let us steel our nerves for the battle and strive ever toward the next life, in which we will be ever joyous in perpetual adoration of You, the Most High God. Grant this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever an ever. Amen, Alleluia!Saint Francis de Sales, Oeuvres
