Things have been pretty hectic for me lately...
I've been getting constantly attacked with thoughts of lust, i've been doing a poor job of resisting....I have a terrible addiction to the stuff, something i'm not proud of..i want to stop so bad but it seems impossible, the temptations keep getting worst...I feel like such a scumbag..
Also i would like some prayer for my dad as well, i used to hate him so much but about 5 years ago i learned he contracted HIV, i haven't heard from him in 2 years..and i fear for the worst...i never really got along with him but he's still my dad, and i don't want him to die..please pray for him...
I've tried my best to keep in high spirits, but it feels like a part of me, rots away everyday...
please pray for me...

Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.
He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.
He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:
"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."
The lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

Sky,
Remember that God (and us) are here with you in this. Keep fighting and God will help you.
I pray you dad is alive and doing ok. Who knows? You may be able to get back in contact with him. I pray everything works out in God's will.

"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

Praying for you.

Lifting you up, my brother. Like Danderson said, God has the power to deliver you from these temptations. But even if you do stumble, remember God still loves you and hasn't let go of you. The Bible tells us that if we walk in the light, Jesus' blood cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Any way you look at it, God is bigger than our struggles.
Theme Scripture: Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
And a verse for all us single folks: Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? (1 Corinthians 9:5)
