Hello everyone,

I would to ask you guys if you would say a pray for me. I have an internet addiction and have struggle with this for a long time now. I get better and stay off but relapse back again. I feel somewhat worthless in the eyes of God because i keep going back and forth. Not obedient at all, which hurts and stresses me out. I have been having troubles at home with my fiance, which doesn't make things better. I feel as though i have let God down so many times. why is it sooo hard to be a christian man in this world these days?? All i want is peace, happiness, and to please God, along with making my kids understand and believe who their Lord and Savior is. It doesn't make sense, I know that this life is temporary and my life could be taken at any minute, but yet i still live for the flesh to some degree. very irritating.....I pray that God continues to help me

We all have similar struggles...just as David did, and he was the "apple of God's eye" and sinned BIG TIME. Yet he knew WHO to turn to for forgiveness. it's the going back to God after we stumble that is crucial, and not letting the enemy tell us we're too bad now and we've messed up too much, and resisting that liar, and telling him to take a hike in Jesus name and going right smack back to our Father Who LOVES us and is waiting with open arms. That's when we need our Father the most and need to make a bee-line to Him and just tell Him we messed up. He already knows. We stumble, we fumble, and wander, yet He loves us still and we STILL remain a child of the Most High God. Praying for you brother. Hang in there.

Father God,
I pray for my brother and ask that You open his eyes to see what he cannot see. Give him ears to hear also and the heart and mind of Christ. Let my words not offend him but bring some kind of help in this time of his need. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.

Brother, we glorify God by loving him, by obeying him, by trusting him and walking with him. We honor God when we have faith and trust in him, when we love him, and when we truly desire to know him, obey him and please him in all that we do. We were created to glorify God, enjoy him and walk with Him. When we glorify God and honor God, we get closer to him and enjoy him immensely. God is really pleased and rejoices over us when we glorify him and live for him.

There comes a time when we know it's time to STOP allowing carnal forces and vain imaginings to have more power and influence in our lives than does the presence and holiness of God.

There comes a time for all of us when we have to stop being victims - filled with fear and self-loathing - and only because we choose to continue in sin. I'll tell you what God has shouted at me; "Stop sinning and be obedient to the Lord. If you love Me, obey Me."

We all start and stall, stumble and fall; but God looks upon the heart, and He knows if we are genuine or not. He helps those who are of a contrite heart - those who truly seek after His righteousness and are willing to lay down those sins that so easily beset them.

In Philippians 4, God tells us in the clearest way, that if we SUBMIT ourselves to God and RESIST the enemy... the enemy will FLEE!


Micah 6:8
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”


1 Corinthians 6:20
“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Philippians 1:9-11
“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”

Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Men are constantly bombarded with images, in our present society, that constantly trigger hormonal reactions which you, at least, do not really want to be entrapped by. T.V., even the ads, leering ladies with lots of cleavage in the mag racks at the grocery store, it's everywhere - something always pushing your buttons if possible.

Praying that you will learn to avoid all that could ensnare you and that you will let Messiah lead you to freedom.
