Zechariah 4:6
Hello, all! I'm very new to the forum, but would love the prayer support of this community.
I have a couple. First, I was recently laid off of my job doing software development. I found a temporary position that only pays minimum wage, so I took it to continue providing for my family (I am married with two kids). Now the temp job is winding down and both my wife and I are having difficulty finding work. Unfortunately, that is the story of many Americans these days.
Second, I battled with a pornography addiction for over 13 years. I have only recently, through the grace of God and fervent prayer, been free of it. Though I have not fell back into temptation, I find that the temptation is there every single day. Not only that, but the devil changes his "tactics", so to speak, in that I'm having to guard myself against the temptation is new places. I feel that right now is a very critical point for this addiction. Please pray that I am able to remain faithful and able to keep my focus on God and my family.
Thank you, and I am happy to be a part of this online congregation!
Welcome to the Parish!
I feel for you concerning the temptation which is so prevalent. As I heal from abuse of my childhood, I am becoming more aware of how unhealthy attitudes towards people, and women in particular, are out there. Something I have been concerned about and prayed for for a while are those who affected by the stuff we see in the media. I will add you to my prayer list.
