Free E-book on Pornography: Chapter 5; If You Are Serious about Recovery, the First Step Is Here!

“Pray the Following Prayer and

Feel Your Heart Stir

Within You.”

I am discouraged, God. I do not know what to do.

I am having all these sexual feelings.

Every time that I think I have pornography beat, I am back online at an old porn site.

I go for almost a week; miserably, I then lose 1, 2, 3 weeks to pornography.

I’m afraid.

I’m experiencing pressure.

I want to live right.

I don’t even think it’s possible.

God, I have heard about unconditional love.

Is it conceivable?

I am not good.

For me, masturbation is as eating—3 times per day, many times more;

And Pornography is the result.

God, Save Me!

Surrendering my will to the higher power, I thought about it.

I meditated on inspirational readings and felt a tinge of hope.

Meditation

“Then called I upon the name of the Lord;

O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵ Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

⁶ The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me.

⁷ Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

⁹ I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living” (Psalm 116:4-9, n. d., KJV).

I then prayed, “God, what do I do next?”

I heard a soft voice within my heart, saying, “Trust and acknowledge that you can do nothing without me.”

I believe with all my heart. I trust you, O God.

Thank you, Jesus.
