Struggling....and Failing

[Gentle Lamb]

This is weighing me down... I had gone a year without being a slave to mast. and although it took a while the bad thoughts eventually didn't happen so frequently then they went away. Then I wasn't praying as much and overtime I just got weaker and weaker and I found myself here, hating what I do and kind of not having any will power anymore. I know I need to stay focused on God and keep praying all day, but I forget and then the bad thoughts really take over when I don't pray enough. Also I just have so many past regrets and I'm tired of making the same mistakes and I want my life to change. I know things don't happen fast with God but I feel like if I was a car and life was a road, the car would keep falling into holes every 7 to 8 days and then get pulled out and repeat the same thing. I need help, like a lot. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to email me everyday just reminding me to pray and stay focused on God and remind me that He loves me? It would be a really big help and I would appreciate it so much. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear of your suffering, and will pray for you. Remember that we are all imperfect, and we fall into sin occasionally, and we shouldn't let our past sins define who we are. The next time you feel lust, put yourself in a position where there are others around you so you cannot abuse yourself. And even if this is impossible, remind yourself that the part of your body in question belongs to God while you're single then your husband when you marry, and don't do anything with it that would be for your own selfish pleasure but could disappoint the Almighty or the man you marry.

Praying for you. I struggle too.
