OCD and sex

[Pixart]

Since a half year I struggle with OCD. Before I got OCD, I would look at pornography. But because of the OCD I stopped with that, I felt so ashamed of this sin. Still now, a half year later, I still struggle with guilt.

Also I get more obsessions. Last night I fought aiganst a new obsession, but I got so much stress, I made a wrong choice and looked at pornography. Right now I am really embarressed in myself and full of guilt to God. I knew God doesn´t want me to do those things. I was free of pornography for a half year and now I fell back to it. I am very disappointed with myself, I feel like I am back where I began and the struggle with the guilt will all start over again. Does anyone recognise this struggle? Please pray for me.

Several things might help you. First, you are a child of God.Because when you fall short, you feel guilty and you want to live righteously before God. God knows that and He knows you heart. So, as long as you geniounly repent, The Lord forgives your sins, and you should forgive yourself as well. The guilt feeling after repentance is not from God but from your own fears or satan. Just learn from your mistakes and do your best to avoid sin next time. Second, the OCD some times adds to these kind of issues, and you should learn to recognize and separate the OCD from the sexual sins, and in the mean time try to deal and combat the OCD(maybe seeing a therapist or some thing). And lastly, know that this is a daily walking with The Lord and not a one time and once and for all deal, and The Lord is going to love you and help you and be with you all the way till eternity, so take encourage in that thought and move forward with God's truth in hand. God bless you.

God will find a way to help you repent. He used nightmares in my life to show me how deformed that sin is and how it destroy's the mind. Also You having the heart to want to repent gives God the chance to show His might. You done well going half a yr and well You havn't yet died to the sin and neither have I but, where getting pretty close to beating this. I will be praying for you!
