I have a pornography and masturbation addiction. I pray and pray to stop, but I always fall short when I am all alone and just slip back into it. Please pray that it stops for good because my spirit is not at ease. I do feel the guilt everytime I do it. I pray that the Lord forgives me for my weakened spirit and blesses me with the strength to overcome this. Thank you.
Addictions
- Satan uses sin and addictions to entice us to be slaves to sin.
- Then he can harm us or control our lives is a very unholy way.
- God offers His help and He says " Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." 1John 4:4.
- Jesus said He will set you free. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36
Here are some scriptures to help you break your addiction
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

a]Christ who strengthens me.

God says that if two people agree in prayer He will answer that prayer.
He puts it this way:

19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
I will be praying in agreement with all of your prayers from now on.
