Posting request for Unregistered Guest: "My father's pornography addiction"

Posting this request so others can see it and be able to pray.
And this is something that many Christian men (and women, too, I'm sure) deal with. We had a special request in the Prayer List during the summer for our members who face this addiction. Unless you know for a fact that he's not sincerely fighting this addiction, try to support him all that you can and perhaps talk to another church leader about it as well. And, of course, asking for prayer here is good, too.
I'll pray for your dad and for you in this situation.
Apparently it's been an ongoing thing, despite the fact I just learned about it 3 days ago. He's already asked me to forgive him.I don't think I have, even though I said so...but I just can't trust him.
It hurts me because he is also the church's youth pastor. he shouldn't be telling us to be sexually pure when that's what he's doing.
He's talked to me and my pastor about it...he's going to talk about it to my mother soon, or so he says. I don't know if he's really sincere or if he's just trying to alleviate his guilt, that's how far I've been pushed. I don't know if he's just making excuses or if he's really been fighting it. I just don't know.
Please pray that God will give him the strength to overcome this temptation.
Thanks.
