I need your prayers
lilitalienboi16:
I wanted to thank all of you, each and everyone of you, you guys are so great to me, and i don't know if i've ever done anything for any of you in return. You are all great examples of God's love and the unity of His spirit.
Everyone of you, with your words of encouragement, and scripture have uplifted my lowly spirit. You have given me that hope i forgot about, that God truly does love me!
Words can't express how i feel, knowing that i have such a great family that is praying for me. I just can't put it into words.
Thank you again and Lord willing, i may pray for you, i know i am not alone in these struggles, and that you all, are struggling also.
Love in Christ,
Alex

Dear Alex,
Please don't allow the enemy to trick you into thinking you are not worthy to pray. You are God's dear, precious child and He loves you more than you can know. After all the sins that King David committed (adultery with Bathsheba's wife, having her husband put to death), as did Saul (persecuting and killing Christians), they both knew that they could still cry out to God for forgiveness and cleansing.
None of us is worthy in ourselves to come to God for anything. It is only through Jesus that we are worthy. It's all through Him.
I don't know all the reasons why God is allowing you to struggle with this sin. But I do know that He won't give us more than we can bear - I'm having to learn that myself right now.
I pray that God will wrap His arms around and let you feel His love, until you know without a doubt that you can come to Him any time, anywhere, with anything. He will never cast you out, and He will never leave nor forsake you.
Love and peace to you,
Sandy

Alex,
You know I don't know how old you are, but from what I gather you are a young man. Which is good for me. I'm 26 years old and have been around. So we relate. Whatever sin you struggle with is always mindful of our Lord. HE even knows you are on the brink of losing your mind. And maybe tha's the point. Your losing YOUR mind, preparing to put on his. This is therapudic for me as well. I can wake up, ready to receive Christ's coming in a fresh new way for the day, ready to discover more on being a son of God, and by mid day I'm in a funk with all these thoughts and battles in my mind taking over. But the blessed hope is that Christ does come to us daily! New! We just need to be sensitive to what manner he is coming to us. I'm learning, as I'm sure we all are. But being young and full of zeal for God while battling with the flesh is the toughest thing I've faced in my life. But let us remember to put our yoke upon him who desires to bear it. Thank you Alex. Talking to you has helped me. And through all of our struggles, let us always remeber the important things. He sees you. He loves you. And remember, It's His faith we rely on. Not ours. I'm praying for you, brother.
" For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
" Let us therefore come bodly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need". Heb 4 15-16

I believe I have experienced that fire you are in. It brought me to recognition that I was hopless, without strength or goodness.
I was an avid Catholic and Minister of the Word at the time that I was experiencing my inability to be pure and holy perfect and above sin. All this took a turn after I went to confession with much the same case as you present and the Priest refused to forgive me. :o Well that caused a dispute I can tell you! Right there in the Confession Box! ;D I retorted that if I were to go outside the Church be hit by a bus and die, then I would go to Hell would I? And THAT because the Priest had not given me absolution! So it would be the Priest's fault! ;D ;D
The end of the dispute resulted in a most grudging agreement to give me forgiveness! I never went back to the Catholic Church after that! :D
I had no idea then that my weakness would turn to strength after that and I would be delivered from my weakness in the particular area I was grievously suffering. Little by little I grew away from self reliance.
I hope this testimony helps you to know that with God, all our trials and weakness He can use not in vain but to His Glory and Praise. God is not a respecter of persons and this He will do for everyone in His perfect time and place.
Peace be to you brother
