Joshua (11-Jul-12) Problem:
well, I really don't know how this works but; I grew up in the church. I've known God all my life. Now I'm 18 years old, getting ready to away to college this fall...when I was 14, I was first introduced by a friend into the world of pornograhpy and was pretty hooked for about a year, but then I got baptized and decided I needed to stop visiting those sites if I was going to be serious in my walk and I was clean for 2 whole years...until recently, the addiction came back strong and I've been fighting it hard. I find myself not being able to even watch an entire explicit scene because I feel guilty. And I wind up crying and asking God to forgive me over and over. And sometimes, I don't know how many more times He will...the worst part is that NOBODY knows about any of this, besides God, not even my parents. And my dad's a pastor! but i'm too ashamed to tell my parents about it because that's not who I am and I feel like they would be disappointed in me. I know it's not who I am and I just want it go away. I know now that i've been exposed to it, the urge will follow me my whole life. But I also know that God will give the strength to resist the devil. I just needed to let it out. It's killing me that no one knows. Please pray for me. Prayer Request:
Please for God to give me strength to resist temptation
