Good idea, Bard. It should be stickied.

Now THIS is a very good idea. I support the stickying of this thread wholeheartedly.

...especially since I could really use some prayer right now. Once again I've started getting lazy about staying on guard and fleeing temptation. The last week or so has been kind of stressful and I guess I've let it affect my own prayers far more than I should. Please pray that the Lord snaps me back to attention :)

Guys, this is amazing... it's only been a few days since I wrote and posted my testimony in the testimonials section, but already, my life is completely different.

You know that website I spoke of, where you can access various P videos? Well, it's still floating around in my history, somewhere, on my computer, but I haven't touched it for days. I don't even have the desire to.

:D Shaweet.

Way to go, Seleana! Might want to clear your Internet history as well, to be safe.

Blitzkrieg, I'll be praying for you, buddy.

Not that we aren't happy to have you around as much as possible, but to puss yourself too hard, ya hear? :)

Oh, and today was a good day. The stressful crud remains, but the habit of surrendering to it (and all that comes after) is losing steam

Yay, Blitz! It's a good feeling to know you're finally winning a battle you've been fighting for so long, isn't it? By the way, it's awesome to see you on Cosplay.com!

Me, I've pretty much got the P thing beat. The other part is definitely dwindling (though it's somewhat harder to shake completely).

I have struggled with this too. This is why I try to make a point not to be on the computer late at night. I also try to make it a point if I am tempted, to get up and do something else --like the dishes or go play with the dog. It is important to switch your mind to something else quickly --to flee the temptation.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Well said! That's a lesson I'm (gradually) learning myself. God doesn't banish temptation in order to just sit around in the vacuum where the sin would have been. :)

Well, leaving yourself in the hands of The Lord, Jesus Christ, our saviour, is the best solution to almost everything I think.

Sometimes you might need some help from other people or so forth, but I haven't found this necessary in this particular struggle against The Devil.

Lust is very easy, I think, to get rid of, when you're focused on leading a life in the honour and grace that God has given us, and if one has a good relationship to the Lord, I think that's enough to keep you away from Sin and Evil.

Pax et Bonum.

You're either extremely strong-willed or you've never actually been in this situation. And it's not right to imply that our faith is weak because we need each other's support. This is a serious thread for people with a serious problem. If you're not going to be supportive, don't post here.
Also, if you feel like arguing, do it via PM with me. I don't want this thread to turn into a flamewar.

Neither.
But I just said that I don't think that I need help in this matter.
Not at the moment though.

Since thinking of it as something from the Devil, and when putting my life in God's hands, I don't feel tempted in the same way, if you understand what I mean.

But I have all respect to those who are tempted of this, and I would be happy to pray for them.

I don't want to start some "war" here either, I just wanted to be honest, and I might be needing some help in the future, but right now, no.

Actually, you're right. Looking at it objectively, lust, like all other sin, is quite easy to be free of. After all, Christ has already defeated it and made us partakers in that victory. If we would just remember that and live as what we are now, rather than what we once were, it would never affect us.

However, that's looking at it objectively, and if there's one thing humans rarely are, it's objective. Because our emotions are so easily manipulated and our minds so easily distracted, we forget this fact and allow ourselves to fall prey to temptations that could never claim power over us otherwise. And once we let that happen, it is VERY hard to undo it. Thoughts can linger long after we first entertained them, and emotions can stay in our heart even when we don't realize that we're still dwelling on them. In the midst of that kind of struggle, a foe like lust SEEMS massive, even if it isn't "really."

All that being said, I don't want it to sound like I condone ganging up on you. It's true that some people just aren't as vulnerable to certain temptations as others are. If this is the case for you and lust, then I praise God for it and pray that you never do fall under attack.

Speaking of which, please keep me in your prayers right now, guys. As I've gone into great detail about in other topics, the past couple of days in particular have been kind of exhausting spiritually. As a result, my guard has been down and I'm starting to stumble again. Please pray that the Lord strengthens me again.

*sigh* Not to try and hog attention, but I underestimated just how bad I'm struggling right now. It wasn't been this bad in a while. It's like, my focus in general has just been off this week, so when temptation actually hits, I'm wide open. Please pray that my walk with the Lord gets better when I'm NOT under attack so that I'll quit feeling so woefully unprotected when I AM.

Well, I basically took the time tonight to just sit and type my mind out, despite all the other stuff I wanted to do at the time. In the end, I came out with several prayers of varying sizes, but I pray they're enough for the time being, because I feel so much like I need to make it up to you all for being nothing but what I've been...which is nothing helpful at all...

Father God, I come to You now. I want know the truth, teach in love, peace, and overall, Your truth according to Your will. Even though I’m so weak right now, and so unsure of myself, so afraid and terrified of doing what’s right…Lord…give me words to type, since this obviously isn’t speaking. Lord, allow me to type, yet again, those individual prayers, please…Even if they are a month late, allow those people to forgive me, for I am truly sorry for my selfish enclosure…

First, for Seleana. Just knowing she’s still so young in the faith, and coming to know You and getting rid of her once nature, the person she once was, coming clean and being renewed, becoming a new person. Make her into what You have in store for her, mold her, Father. I’ve poured my heart over her so many times, Lord, do Your will in her life, make her into something great, helping others in the same sticky situations she’s been in. We all can contribute to ministry somehow, and I know this friend of mine is no exception, and I know You can work wonders through her, Lord.

Next for Blitz, Father, as he continues to struggle with emotion entangled with this battle. Lord, if it helps, continue allowing him to get out every now and then and get to know You. And Father, I know that was a month ago, but it can still apply today, right? Help him to continue striving for You, Lord. It’s amazing to see, that even in my dwindling faith, others continuing to grow stronger around me, and then being able to help me, because of it…

Then for Triez, who I am praying firstly for forgiveness….because I seriously should have responded much sooner than this. Again, a mix of selfishness, foolishness, and procrastination has taken its toll. I’m sorry. It’s truly stories like his that make me want to cry, and inside I feel I am, but yet, I’m not on the outside, and I feel I should be…and then I just feel guilty. (Lord, please remove this guilt) Keep Triez out of trouble, Father; keep his mind focused on You, and the right things according to what You have to say. But, I agree in prayer, Lord, give us the desire to conquer these things…

We’ve all done a few stupid things, right? Father, forgive us of these things…You are our Everything, our Home, our shelter…even when we’re in a position of lonely nothingness and sometimes even pain.

Lord, the next prayer is for Bard, that his convenience store accountability will be lasting. Only You know how hard that must be…keep him uplifted and willing, Father. Allow them to continue respecting his decision, Lord. Don’t allow him to give up!

And for Corky, Lord. Just knowing that she is one of the few people I truly trust my every word to, here. And knowing that she has entrusted me with things as well…Lord, do Your will in her situation…get her away from it, if at all possible. The lusts, in the very least….help her change, Lord. You’ve done so much for her already, just within the confession…

Next for roadoffew, just knowing that he’s the one who originally lead me to confession…just that that friendship will become a good one, and that he could remember that saying, Lord…

And Lord, please keep me under Your protection. It’s been so, so much harder lately. The further I get, the harder I fight to keep this stuff away. And the self-hatred that’s come with the war waging in my heart…Father, I want to desire You again, I do, I truly do! I want to be faithful…why can’t I bring myself to doing so? I’ve never fought so badly for You…through the anger and everything…this battle, it’s very clear it’s going to stay for some length of time. I don’t want to be so reckless and careless any longer… If only I could come just one step closer to Your light and throne, would it get easier, Lord?
Heal me, Father God……I want You, now.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen!

Okami,

Just because you start the thread doesn't mean you have to 1) pray for every issue raised in it or, 2) have to come up with a new prayer lesson every day or two. It's OK to take a break to get your head together and refresh yourself with God's Holy Spirit. Intercessory prayer (what we are doing here) can be draining sometimes. A few months ago I dropped off CAA for a while because I got burned out, but here I am back again.

There's a bunch of us praying in here as a team, when one of us needs to rest, the others can carry that person for a time.

Lord God, send your Holy Spirit down upon us, filling us with each breath, cleansing us like the fresh spring rain, and making us ready to face this day doing Your Will in the world. Fill us up with Your love so that these sinful thoughts are crowded completely out of our lives. Thank you so much for the sacrifice of Your Son, that we might have this gift of love. Amen.

Note that the above prayer will work better if you repeat it several times while taking deep breaths.

SP is right. You don't have to take up responsibility for putting up a prayer for each individual member who posts, and then feel bad when you don't have the time and space to do so. You've done a lot so far in this thread, and I'm proud of you :).

Wel...I guess I'll look to this thread for prayer...because as shameful as it is....I'm a failure in this area.

I struggle with this so much...and I feel so guilty about it and yet at the same time..sometimes I even justify it! *shakes head* times I fall into this sin that well...I feel like I deserve no love from God and he should leave me in the hell that I am in right now or throw me deeper into it.

I can't go into exactly what it is...but if you guys would pray...I do not know even for what...but please just pray...maybe one day I will have the strength to tell my story..but I'm afraid to di it now...would prolly get kicked off CAA and all mygood friends on here would leave me in a heartbeat...

Forgive me God.
I am on the forefront of battle against the demons of earth. All Praise and Glory be given to God Forever and Ever!
