Hey there everyone,

I'm a sixteen year old male and just recently I've been going through a rough time fighting temptation with things such as porn etc...
I know God has been there waiting for me to come back to him and something clicked in me last night. It just made me feel sick looking back at my actions. There was a strong sense of betrayal and guilt in my heart.

I've prayed for forgiveness and that he will lead me out of this dark period of time and I now feel a stronger resolve than ever!

It would be brilliant if some of you could hold me in your prayers and ask God that he gives me the required strength to forget and move on, to never indulge in these things ever again.

Amen to your petition.
It will be easier for you if you also think about the reasons why God wants us pure:


  • Our body is God's, not ours. God built some things into us, but they are not meant to be misused or abused. We know this on the inside, it's written on our hearts, so when abuse and profanity happens, one feels unclean and is filled with shame/guilt.

  • When a man/woman is enjoying another that they did not gave marriage vows to... for eternal covenant of love... if one did not commit to that level to love, then it is a selfish use of another human being for own pleasure. Design of our bodies is really deeply forethought and God planned it only for the most intimate and exclusive relationship of marriage.

  • Expressing love and desire to this one special person is the fulfilling, guilt-free and God-intended use of the body.

  • Your beautiful future wife that God is having in mind for you - you want to keep yourself for her. A lot of men think they should be "experienced" with women and it makes them venture into things they later regret. This is worldly deception! They need only be genuinely loving and confident/laid back and being themselves. You do not miss out on anything except guilt if you drop these unhealthy materials, that treat women and men like something disposable.



  • Porn perverts normal healthy needs and makes them into something sick and unhealthy. It easily develops into an addiction and warps one's senses for the natural use of the body. If there is a relationship, this is adultery. God takes what goes on in our imaginations as seriously as if they were physical actions. (Matthew 5:28)



  • Women and men involved in porn industry are most often victims of abuse, and often human traffiking. Their lives are miserable - and indulging in porn supports this industry and the tragedy. I'd also like to link this video.... it's good to know (it's a very good video some fellow believers made) and i believe it will help you.

Bottom line... Stepping out of God's purposes on our own authority harms ourselves and others. Always. :(

I do believe that you are an overcomer in Jesus. You are stronger than this because you love God and love other humans that GOD made and want to treat them as He intended. Amen.

LORD, I come to you through the shed blood of Yeshua the Messiah. I pray that you help Star overcome the temptation he is facing and that he spend more time with you and your word. I pray LORD that he shine for you like a star and may many see you in him. Amen.
