Pray for me that I will fall back on my teaching and be reminded of a better life God has for me when tempted with lust and pornography

I hope you check back at some point because I wanted to tell you something. You’re not alone. Your struggle my friend is one that plagues many, many men (and women for that matter)… men who love God and hate this sin. Let me say this again; you are not alone.
I know for myself that I struggle and fail most often when I in fact don’t hate the sin. When I become comfortable with it. When I become okay with the fact that I’m cheating on God, committing adultery against the sovereign LORD with my eyes and flesh with hardly a second thought to my actions.
It’s not okay. It’s anything but okay, however, there is repentance. The life of a man after God should be marked with repenting over sin, till the day you die. And that’ll be me, and I pray it will be you as well. You’re correct that God is so, so much better than anything we can even dream of. So brother, set your eyes on Christ, and be encouraged that your sin has been dealt with by your Savior who desperately loves you.
Thank you for sharing what’s on your heart.

Hey man, I’m running to class here soon but I am and will be praying for you. I’ll be coming back on later to share some scripture with you, so I hope that you check back in.
There’s freedom in confession and repentance, and you are BLESSED when you come back to the Father with a repentant heart.
“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.” – Psalm 32:1-5
