Im troubled by lust and inappropriate contentography at times and Ive bought myself a purity ring as a visible reminder of staying sexually pure for the Lord.

I hope it will be an aid in my battle against impurity. To keep a reminder on the very hand that should strive to serve the Lord not to abuse his temple.

What do you guys and gals think about it, does anyone have any experiences with wearing them?
I know its a tad unusual that a celibate guy wears one, but Im desperate to get out of this ugly sin.

Brother,

It's easy to believe that your sins are the worst ones in the world, I think many believe this and sometimes I also.

Isaiah 40:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Pray to god and believe and it will be done, we all face temptations, so let us face them together not alone. If you feel the urge to sin, message me and God will comfort you through me. For I am willing.

God Be With You

Do you have a rosary bracelet?

I recently found one, a cool-lookin' St. Benedict rosary bracelet from Amazon; about $5, with shipping.
It's been an incredible blessing; it makes it hard to forget how close God always is to you, and it's always handy to have a reminder to pray a decade whenever you're waiting for the bus, or in line, or anywhere.

God be with you, brother.

I have a bracelet coming in the mailbox sometime soon. It's not a rosary one, but a corded one with a cross on it. It's supposed to be an outward sign of my faith and when you mention it, it may be a good reminder for me to keep the Lord in my mind too.

It's always great when something turns out to have more than one function :)
I got a orthodox ring too with a slavonic prayer to Mary all over it which is very nice too.

It's keeping the Lord in my heart and mind at all time that is most difficult to me.

Thanks for reply brother.

Thanks for reply brother.
Please direct all gratitude to God, it's Him that does the cool stuff, and me that screws it up.:oldthumbsup: I like to have my crosses kept upside-down, as a reminder of the humility I'm supposed to have.

That's my main struggle--this darn thing called pride!
