Hi, this year is becoming more and more of a struggle. This year is crucial to my life. I need to achieve excellent marks to make it in to university. I need to find a job to help my single mother pay bills. I have night school as well. I need to be a continuous father figure for my little brother. I am currently fighting a porn addiction. I have so much going in my life, I feel as if I have no time. Aside from all the negatives, this year I am slowly understanding who is God and what he can do. I know my prayers have not been answered because I need to change and I need to let go of all my cherished sins. I have put all my faith, trust and love into God because I know he has a plan. I ask from you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to become a better person, to have the right mind and to have the right heart to pus through all the obstacles and to make God proud. I know I need to change my sinful habits. Anything is possible through Christ, I know this. But some much needed motivation would be appreciated! Thank you for taking the time for reading this and thank you for all your prayers. God Bless you all!

Aww sweetie I was so touched by what you wrote first let me address your porn addiction problem, with constant prayer and keeping your mind busy with pure thoughts you will defeat that until you are so consumed with the word of God you wont have a desire for porn if you can control your mind your will control your addiction. Then as for a job how old are you and what type of Job are you searching for?

JR1996 - Firstly I want you to know. As God starts to reveal his Grace, and his amazing Love to you, and teaches you a better understanding of who He is, he will start to work in your life, to get rid of the things currently binding you. Like the porn addiction. It's by far one of the hardest habbits to kick because it is not a physical substance you can just flush down a toilet. It's a spiritual thing, its Satan's way to perversify whatever God has made holy and just. And as you start breaking these habits and bondages you will start seeing God's great power in your life.

Our Father in Heaven, there is no one greater than you, and no one with more mercy and more love than you. I bring our brother JR to you, and I pray God that you will shower him with your love, and then I want to pray Lord Jesus that you will break the yoke of sin, the bondages that keeps his mind muddled up and steals away his innocence, which is only founded in you.

You are the great deliverer the center of our Faith and the healer of our hearts. God I pray that you will flip our brother over and that you will reveal your almighty power and love to him. Free him now, provide for his needs God, let him see your Truth and your Grace in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

Chrissya, I am 17 years old and I have applied to become a integration camp counselor for young children and disabled kids. I love being around kids and I love to teach them right from wrong and to help keep them innocent until it is their time to mature. I have an interview next week monday, so I am praying that I receive the job!

Bless your heart for wanting to help your mother and being an example for your younger brother. Just try to be a young man yourself and not burden yourself with too many adult responsibilities. Your mom is the adult and I know she appreciates what you are trying to do for her but let her do the heavy lifting at least for a little while longer and just be a kid.

I was a single mom for all of my daughters 33 years so I get it and know what is expected. As a mother I can tell you that I am happy for you that you have an interest in God as many teens your age want nothing to do with God. So I am so happy that you want to follow Jesus and let Him into your life. My prayer for you is

Dear Father in Heaven

Please be with JR1996 in a mighty way and help him in all of his plans for school and work. Work out both areas for him that would bring honor and glory to Your name. Help JR1996 as he is wanting to help his mother and brother. Please bless this family Father and help with all their needs. Thank you for drawing him to Yourself and help him to be an overcomer in his addictions. Help him with his grades and to get into the school he is trying for. Please send Your Holy Spirit to fill his life and help JR1996 to surrender his life to You and give You his whole heart. I thank You Father for answering this prayer and helping JR1996. In Jesus name Amen

God Bless you JesusLives. I really needed to hear that. I am extremely disappointed that my father left my mother. I have nothing but respect and love for those single women out there, trying to survive. Only God knows, but it has been a blessing in disguise because my mother is doing much better than my father. Also, God put me and my brother in her life to help her. I will enjoy being a kid always. Years to come, it will get better. Thank you very much sister, we are all united through God. God Bless you and your family!!!

Praying that the Lord blesses you with the desires of your heart. I pray that He gives you the strength that you need to get through these daily struggles. Remember to lean on Him, He is your strength. Also, keep in mind that we may not understand why certain situations and circumstances arise, but God has a purpose. Keep seeking Him and know that with Him you can overcome anything. God bless!

JR - you've got this, you're strong, and He is right there with you. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and are clear-minded. God is going to deliver you from your struggles - take those thoughts captive and give them to Him. He knows they are in there anyway and He wants nothing more than to help you gain freedom. When you are struggling with your addiction, re-route your mind to the Word, a song, a prayer, or just get up and get out and do something else. This is what Romans 12:2 talks about when it discusses the renewing of our minds. Give it up to Him and ask Him to help you redirect where you mind is going - you're allowed to do that! I know a lot of people that have broken through this exact thing and are on the other side, you can do it too!
