Here recently I’m finding myself struggling with homosexual thoughts. I’m a 28 year old male and I’ve been single for a while. I’m a Christian and I know that homosexuality is a sin. Just need some prayer and advice

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Philippians 4:8. It is definitely not easy but the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Hey there,
I've struggled with same-sex attraction too. I want to applaud you for being open and honest about it. I've spent so much time trying to hid and burying these thoughts in the back of my brain. The truth is God wants you to be honest with Him. You are not the only one with these thoughts. For me, I had to find the root that initiated these desires in the first place. It started when I was a kid. I wanted to be with this particular boy and if I couldn't have him that I was going to go somewhere else to get attention. In the world we live in now where homosexuality is so common and sex is everywhere, it can be hard to resist temptation. Next, I had to really evaluate if this is what I wanted or was it just a lustful desire. I had to think about the long-term implications such as marriage, kids, rejection etc. Then I realized that this was not something I actually wanted for my life/future and I had to stop dwelling on these thoughts. It takes time but eventually, the thoughts became less and less.
I explain more in-depth on this process in my blog if you want to take a look. There's also a video attached at the bottom of the page.
