So over the course of about 4 years I have struggled with masturbation... I am completely ashamed of what I did but I had a dog help me with my masturbation... And this didn't just happen once... It has happened a few times and with different dogs... I never had intercourse. But I am completely ashamed and I don't honestly know why I did it or what I was thinking.... I asked God to forgive me after each time but for some reason kept doing it.... I just recently went through an emotional break down with myself and I repented of all those times I did that. It has been almost a year now since the last time that has happened... I know that if you repent God will forgive you but I can't seem to forgive myself or think somewhere in the back of my mind that I'm a disgusting person who's going to hell.... I lay awake at night from this and I don't know what to do... I have repented but I need help forgiving myself... What do I do??? Please help.... I have no one to turn too.. I would never tell anyone this secret. I want to recomit my life to God and live for him. I really do. I want to change and be a better person... I just want God to love me and not hate me... Like I said, please help me.. Please. ):

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.

Our sins are not greater than Yeshua's sacrifice and resurrection.
When those thoughts come about how awful our sins are, we need to immediately think of Scriptures such as "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9 This puts the emphasis on Yahweh's faithfulness.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Most importantly exercise forgiveness in your daily life. After that pray the Father in Jesus name for deliverance from that which bothers you. I would also pray that you find a good church where you may grow as a Christian. I would also begin a faith diet where nothing is allowed through your senses but faith, hope, and charity.
Father I pray blessings on this request and that you would move spiritually on this heart in Jesus name I pray. Also taking these needs before God in prayer on the 1:15PM bbnradio.org Family Altar program.

Wow you are so forgiven. What you are experiencing is the enemy trying to guilt you. I for one am proud of you for putting this out there. That tells me you are in true repentance. There are sooooo many out there with similar cases but will never admit it. I am praying for you right now for peace. I am very proud of you and I know our Father in heaven is too.

Just as jesusfreak said... The enemy is trying to make you feel guilty. The enemy wants to separate you from God, and will do this as much as he can. YOU ARE FORGIVEN! You may fall again... Possibly several times. But get back up and repent, and keep fighting the battle.

All sin is forgiven by God the exact same way. I want to ask how do you know you are a born again saved Christian? If and when you prayer to become a Christian what happened/ I am not a judgmental person, but I need to know a few things if you really want answers to you deep hurting questions. Please take the time to answer and I will respond ASAP, as soon as I see your reply. Peace upon your soul.

Don't just think to become better, take action at this moment. Feel confident to leave behind all of your bad habit and start doing good things. Don't wait for God sign of forgiveness, when you'll try to become better by doing good things God will forgive you. Just forget about what you did in the past.
