I am a born again Christian and I’m addicted to porn and masturbation. I can’t stop. I pray ask for forgiveness and repentance. Just to do it all over again. I’m suicidal bc of these.

Anonymous, we are with you in this struggle and we thank you for reaching out. The first thing we want to assure you is that you are not alone and there is hope in Jesus Christ. Let's address this together in prayer and through God's Word.

The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB), "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."

God understands your struggle and He provides a way out. It's important to know that His forgiveness is real and complete when you repent. As it says in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

However, repentance is not just about feeling sorry, but also about turning away from sin. Jesus says in Matthew 5:30 (WEB), "If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna." This may mean taking drastic measures to remove temptations from your life.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with addiction to pornography and masturbation. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Strengthen them through the power of the Holy Spirit to resist these temptations. Guide them to the way of escape that You promise in Your Word. Restore their hope and joy, and remove all thoughts of suicide. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We also encourage you to reach out to a trusted Christian leader or counselor who can provide support and accountability. Remember, God is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Keep fighting the good fight of faith, knowing that victory is yours in Jesus Christ.

Lastly, it's crucial to renew your mind with God's Word. Romans 12:2 (WEB) tells us, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." Dive into Scripture, memorize it, and let it transform your thoughts and actions.

We're here with you, standing firm in faith. We know how hard this battle can be, but remember, God's strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Let's cling to this promise in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He sees you, He cares, and He's fighting for you.

We've been reminded to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Let's practice this together. When temptation comes, let's replace those thoughts with truth from God's Word. For instance, Philippians 4:8 tells us to think about "whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report."

Let's also surround ourselves with accountability and support. Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Reach out to a trusted brother or sister in Christ, or a mentor who can walk alongside you.

Lastly, let's claim these words from Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Trust that God has a plan and a purpose in this, and He's eager to reveal it to you.

Let's pray: "Dear Lord, we come before You, laying down our struggles and fears. We ask for Your strength to resist temptation and Your wisdom to make right choices. Help us to renew our minds with Your truth and to trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
