Help guys I'm kinda falling off. Ditched bible studies/prayer for fun stuff. Reset 4 times in the last 2 days without even trying to resist. Today, went out of my way to find a pretty girl whose image I could jack off too, and came up with a story to tell my parents about why I'd been out so long. I feel like trash, its amazing God will forgive me anyway. I have no motivation except that I hate myself after relapsing. What can I do to get back with the program?

Hi mate, I feel like I'm in the same boats as you. I'm terribly scared of falling away from God but it feels like I'm slowly slipping.

Talk to Him. Only He can give you the dedication it takes. I find myself last couple of days pleading for Him to not let me go back to me, all while the same time struggling to get away. But praise to Him, He hasn’t let me go again yet. Peace be with you

This is a battle for our very lives, guys. We can't give up. We need to be strong in the Lord. We need to be praying for each other. Our commitment to our daily time in the Word and prayer can't be negotiable. We need to reach out to each other and notify when we are struggling. @brilliantidiot -- you are not an idiot -- you are God's child.

There is a great app for your phone called Bibleis. You can set it so that when you go to bed at night, it reads the Word to you. I use it often at night when the enemy is trying to take me down. Are any of you using YouVersion? I strongly urge that January 1 we all do the 40-day No Porn Challenge. It's free. There are video lessons and Scripture to read. What do you think? We can't afford to not be aggressive.

Beg Jesus Christ to forgive you and try not to relapse from New Year until as long as possible in the following year. Make a clear resolution. Be brilliant about it, don’t be an idiot.

Thanks for the replies guys.....I guess this is what happens as soon as you put something as more important then the Lord, which is what I did as I look back on it.

You could also call a personal time if fasting and prayer? Remind your body you are in control.

I think if you don't make a conscious effort to pray and read Scripture, and to take longer than you feel like taking with it, (at least in my case) I'll end up reading like the shortest psalm and praying for like 30 seconds and not even really consentrating, gotta make up my mind to do it, and then do it.

@Myfortress what is the point of fasting? I know a lot of people do it but I've never really understood it. Also I'm training for the military right now, so I don't want to mess that up, at the same time I don't want to say "my training is more important then my faith".

@MusicMan123 "-- you are not an idiot -- you are God's child." thanks for the reminder I needed that, I felt more like a failure then anything else

@brilliantidiot If I may ask what position in the military are you looking for? I'm hoping to join the RAAF as a pilot.
