This is the first time I’ve been in a forum in my life, but I want to grow closer to Christ. I am still a young person

I know what sin is, but I started to be super addicted to lust since 4 years ago, I knew it was wrong but I never really had a relationship with Jesus or really studied his word. Then just last year, I prayed for him to change my life, I started to change, yet I still can’t stop with my addiction to pornography. It is like an on and off thing. I want to change please help me.

An important thing is to always remember our neighbors ( fellow people in general) to practice charity and prayer for them ( & ourselves). This is the basic instruction of the Lord in Matthew 6:1-13. Just do what you can as you go. Read further into the New Testament as you can & read the Old Testament later. The Lord actually sums up most of the old in His Commandments ( see Matthew 22:36-40, Matthew 7:1-12). See also Romans 13:8-10.

Our struggles will vary in this. I pray yours will be brief and that you bear fruit as the Lord calls us to. Personally ( I am 60) I still struggle but others much less and I believe Paul wrote chapters like Philippians 3:1-21 for cases like myself.

Hey my friend. Have faith, for God has given you the victory in Christ Jesus! We all have had or are having issues.

If our phone, laptop, friends, refrigerators, TV, etc.; etc. offend thee cut it off. For it is better to suffer loss then to burn.

Matt 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matt 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Welcome to CF!

The Men’s Health forums may be helpful to you (start a ticket for access here: Create ticket in…. )
Details: Men & Women's Private Forums

Also, Struggles with Sexuality section may be helpful, both in reading and posting.
They are here now asking.

There is a chance that they could be offended by pushing them into another forum without addressing it here also.

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay! :)

Forgetting those things that are behind and moving forward to the high calling that is in Christ Jesus! Amen!!!
