Lord, please help this young man, TragicParadox with the struggle he is up against.

Jesus, please do spiritual warfare on his behalf and help him free himself from the sin that is constantly distracting him. Lord, please give him hope and comfort through this.

:groupray:

Jesus, never give up on him, or any of us who sin. Amen.:crossrc:

tp ......... whatever it is there is one who understands it .... God does...... yeah, yeah i know you know this ..... but sometimes just knowing that and remembering again can be so precious and helpful because he knew from the beginning that you would struggle in this area .... and he also promised to be faithful to complete the good work he began in you; which He is doing now ..... so that you can rest in knowing that while you are struggling now it is a momentary affliction that WILL pass. In the depths of our struggles with sin, it gets easy to think about how temptation is getting the upperhand or how it is hard to take the escape God gives; yet He has also promised there is a way of escape in any temptation which is through Him. It may not feel like it, but there will be other people who will have some understanding or insight, even if it is something confusing you yourself..... you aren't alone in this, even when it can feel so much like it. If it helps any, you can fire me a pm when you find yourself struggling and I can pray then; or come and post in here and others can lift you up ...... the other thing with some sin is that there are other things behind it that require God's healing .... like misbeliefs or thoughts that aren't in line with His truth. Not sure if that is the case here; but i know it can be a good base for leading to sin. Ok ..... stopping rambling, and praying for you..... may the Lord bless you and encourage you; give you the strength and healing needed to turn from whatever is bothering you and tempting you and help you to walk in His love. Bless you

I just feel like I'm being stretched beyond what I can deal with. Sin pulling on one end, God on the other. I struggle constantly with something that there is no support for. No one understands. I don't understand it either.

God, please pull me out of this.
:bow: O God, our help and assistance, who art just and merciful, and who heareth the supplications of thy people; look down upon Tragic Paradox a miserable sinner, have mercy upon him, and deliver him from this trouble that besets him, we acknowledge and believe, O Lord, that all trials of this life are given by thee for our chastisement, when we drift away from thee, and disobey thy commandments; deal not with Tragic Paradox after his sins, but according to thy bountiful mercies, for he is the work of Thy hands, and thou knowest his weakness. Grant him, I beseech thee, thy divine helping grace, and endow him with patience and strength to endure his tribulations with complete submission to Thy Will. Thou knowest his misery and suffering and to Thee, his only hope and refuge, he flees for relief and comfort; trusting to thine infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when thou knowest best, thou wilt deliver him from this trouble, and turn his distress into comfort, when he shall rejoice in thy mercy, and exalt and praise thy Holy Name, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

Thank you all. Still struggling. This is something I have dealt with for probably 8 years. I don't know...maybe God uses it to keep me humble and try to get me to rely fully on Him. But it is killing me inside.

I know God understands. But I honestly do not think anyone else does. And I KNOW I don't. There's not really anyone I trust enough to share my struggle with. So I'll just keep trying to rely on God. But sometimes it seems futile.

Lord God, please help me.

I have been having that fight lately myself. God will pull you out of it when he feels you are really ready. I tried to take myself out of something and I kept returning back to it again and again. But then when I finally let it go and let God handle it, he did pulled me out for good. All in his time...

God bless.

I know exactly how you feel, I too have been slipping here lately. I haven't been to church in 3 weeks, i have been making excuses not to go. I really don't understand why, because I love to go to church. You can PM me if you need to talk or vent.
