Would anyone here mind praying for me? I've become such a dirty disgusting person that I can barely get any response from God anymore. Even as I'm typing this, I'm searching for porn simultaneously. How pathetic is that? I no longer have any desire to even try and stop watching porn. I'm on the verge of just accepting that maybe this is who I am now :(

i was reading something you

i was reading something you posted a long time ago, wounded_warrior. i just wanted to remind you of a couple things that you said, and, i believe, truly meant.

"I think now is the time to change and I know it has to start internally. Even though I haven't stopped (I watched some sadly right before typing this. Actually I think it's what led me to do so), I have to realize that this is a process. Even though God can perform miracles overnight, it probably won't be the case for me. All of this escalated over an 8 year period and it may take that long to become fully healed and pure again.

The one thing I want more than anything is to enjoy a fully intimate and godly relationship with a woman, similar to that of the Song of Solomon. What I have now is putting absolutely nothing in me and taking away my ability to love and be a man. Porn is to sex as McDonald's is to food. It may taste good for a little while, but you need more and more to fill yourself up and in the process, you end up slowly killing yourself.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. I don't really have anyone in my life that I can talk to. I guess prayer, guidance, and an encouraging word would be nice. I've just been feeling so lonely and unloved (one of the many bad effects of porn)."

"This is really the first time I've really assessed the damage that's been done on my life. It motivates me to take control of my life back."

those are all things that you have said, my friend! i believe that you truly meant them. the fact that you are hear, means that you are still seeking truth. you still want to do what is right. remember these things that YOU WROTE! porn is like chicken mcnuggets! it might taste good for a minute, but it will kill you in the long run, and after you have had REAL food, it is just tasteless white filth! my friend. i KNOW that you want to do what is right. i can see it in the words you write on here, both now and in the past. i believe in you!

wounded_warrior. that is the name that YOU CHOSE for yourself on here. what an accurate picture for so many of us. true. you have been wounded. but that does not mean you have LOST! the battle belongs to the LORD! dont try to beat this by yourself. you will lost that fight every time. remember that you have an ALMIGHTY GOD who wants to wipe the floor with your enemies! you just have to let him, and BELIEVE that he can and will.

you might be wounded, but you are still a warrior. it is time to cowboy up! not to sound rude or insensitive or anything like that. we all have those moments where we have to be told the truth. we all have those times where we need to man up and do the right thing. PLEASE know that i am not trying to tear you down. i am trying to strengthen you in the LOVE and POWER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!

again, you are in my prayers.

and again, always your loving brother in Christ.

my prayers are with you as

my prayers are with you as well. if you dont mind giving it out, i would like to know at least your first name so that i can pray for you by name. i love you man. you are my brother. keep your chin up. it is a rough road sometimes, but remember, the battle has already been won. sure we have to wrestle with our sin natures sometimes....ok alot, but SIN ITSELF has been defeated! our GOD IS MIGHTIER! never let yourself give in to the lies that tell you that you are "too filthy for God". God is RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. He desperately wants you to seek him and to fight yourself. you can do this. I BELIEVE IN YOU! you have my prayers, and my support, dear brother.

your loving brother.

Really

I will pray for you. That's a blessing for me to be able to pray for another of God's children.
What you need to understand is that God is blessing you and showing you an undying love right now. You are where on the web? You said that you are searching for porn as you typed this, but it was much easier for you to find what you need because your actually here on the pink cross.org, lookin for an answer. Right? Your looking in the right direction my brother. Your definitely in the hands of the Lord.
We will all pray for you.
