Prayers and Encouragment Needed

Hello Megan. Praying for you and your situation. God is able to deliver you and set you free. John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." It may not be "easy", but if you seek God daily in prayer and pray when then temptation arises, God will help you!

I'm sorry that people have been so cruel on other forums. I hope you will find more empathy here. Jesus knows your heart and you are desperate to be closer to Him and desperate to stop the habit you feel bad about. Jesus knows that.
My advice is just to stay close to Christ through honest prayer.

Stopping other bad habits might help to prove to yourself and God that you are making endeavours to control the flesh, for example quitting something you like (caffeine, meat, ice cream, cheese, gaming) for a 40 day period.

Tracking hormone cycles is really useful to controlling sex desire because (in women) it is very predictable. When you can logically understand ''Okay, I am ovulating now'' it is a reminder that in a way humans are animals and biologically these things are going to happen, beyond our control. Also when we are ovulating other human animals can sense it (pheromones) and they might try and entice us into sexual activity (I think that only works in a heterosexual sense). We also tend to wear tighter and lower cut clothing when we are ovulating (subconscious 'choices') so by being aware and mindful you might be able to outplay your animal instincts and get a grip on the situation.

Recently I saw someone on CF (a man) claim that women do not have sexual desire. If only it were true, how much easier my life would have been!

Praying for you. I can see how much you want to get closer to God and that is such a beautiful thing. May God bless you and the Holy Spirit always be with you, dear.

Edit: Oops, I just realised this is prayer wall not advice thread. Excuse me!

Dear sister i will pray for you. Tsquare gave a good advice, give your heart and your life to Jesus and place your trust in Him. Whenever you are tempted, pray dear sister and hold on to Jesus for help. The wicked spirit of perversion and lust tempting you is a strong one but with Jesus on your side you can overcome temptation, sister. I will pray that you are given strength and perseverance to overcome and rebuke the enemy every time you are tempted. Sister you will have to do some changes in your life and resisting the enemy will get easier. I encourage you to pray daily and read the scripture daily, and fill your house with praise music and praise the Lord our God as your spirit leads you. Set your foot on the path to holiness and righteousness, get involved in a support or voluntary position that will give you opportunities to help other people, that your thoughts will be set more and more on Jesus and less on the things of this world.

Sister i say this not in judgement of you but am speaking from my personal experience. For i was also trapped as you are and the things written above helped me in my struggle to overcome. We cannot do this on our own, we need Jesus in our life and in time you will find you will trust Him more and more as you are being transformed, as your old self is washed away little by little.

As for prayer, being honest with Him is the best prayer, talk to Jesus and ask Him for forgiveness, find in your heart to forgive also and sincerely repent from your sins, sister.

Hi.
I'm new to this forum. My name is Megan and I've been caught in habitual sexual sin for five years now.
For the first four years, I wasn't close with God so it was easy for me to continue this sin pattern without feeling guilty. But in this past year, I have been coming closer to Him. I have a burning desire, a longing to be near to Him. I wanted to know Him and be his servant. But I can't when I keep returning to this sin.
I can't seem to stop it. I beg Him for answers, I have tried other forums where people bashed me and told me I wasn't going to be saved/wasn't doing enough.
I am desperate to stop this. I am desperate to be freed from this sin. I do not want to be separated from Him any longer.
I don't even know what kinds of prayers to ask for. Just please pray for me. Please pray for my freedom.
Thank you.

Father, I pray that this one will receive practical, detailed directions on how to have victory in this area of her life. May she get beyond the generalities and get down to the brass tacks of what she needs to do. May she then be able to have some things to follow daily, and not just hope for victory, but work towards victory. Amen.

Praying.

Father I pray blessings on this request, deliverance, and for a victorious life that will bring you glory in Jesus name I pray. Also taking these needs before God in prayer on the bbnradio.org Family Altar program... BBN Program Schedule
