Hi my name is Chris. This stronghold i am facing is pleasure please excuse word but masturbation. I know papa knows my struggles and weakness, but when it comes a chance to run to him i hide or argue. I do not want to anymore, i know it hurting papa and mine relationship and affecting others as well. I would to not only listen when he talks but act as well and stop. I believe he has giving another chance and he has been faithful. The problem i see is me not being, It bugs me so. Last weekend i was feeling alone and cried out( i was missing a girl i have not been able to see for a while and sunday July 23rd she text me with a sincere message and checking on me and that’s when i knew he answered, i was so happy praise to papa who takes care of us you know). And then the next day which is July 24th i pull this stupid stunt and feel really crappy and dirty and ashamed that i can not stop. Before it was maybe every other week but now its every other 2 or 3 days. I confess i’m worried what’s going to happen. I am a little hopeful that good well come from this but right now i can not shake the feeling i have from maybe letting down papa and i do not know loosing more wonderful moments like that sunday. Please help pray for me. I read a little bit ago about a gent who had the same problem on here as me and if papa did it for him. I hope for me to. Plus i much rather go to papa and have praise reports not these stupid moments like when i was a kid and was bad, parent talks and or walks over and says “again! i thought i told you that was bad?” and then i am like “i could not help it.” I do not think that works like that with papa and an adult. (doubting is annoying of me just saying). Thank you for taking the time and reading!

Dear Chris, I want you to know many people feel guilty about this. I have read multiple accounts of different views on this. I personally as a Christian do not feel there is anything wrong with this if you are not thinking about anyone when you do it. I know others would totally disagree with me. That is ok. I am not telling you to continue doing it if you feel guilty. I read the Bible and go to it for advice. It does not say anything about this. It is sinful to lust though. Or fornicate. But my thoughts and God forgive me if I am wrong. Is that if you are not thinking of anyone it isn’t a bad thing. But I also say it is wrong to watch Pornography and put yourself in a situation where you will be lusting after people where you feel the need to do this. If this is something you are doing everyday, then I think it would not be right. But if you are lusting and lusting and can’t control yourself to the point of wanting to jump in bed with someone and fornicate, then I think it would be better to masturbate. I have never read in the Bible where this is a sin. I know people say it is sinful, but they are saying what they think and not speaking what is in the Bible. I think the real sin is lust, fornication, and thinking dirty thoughts while you are doing it. But if you have to do this to get over or think of a woman It would be wrong and I would ask forgiveness from God. Ask God to find you a woman to marry and fulfill your needs. That would be best.
thanks Kimberly! i have thought that same way and i agree with what you say. and i believe Papa has showed me and helped with the last part finding a godly woman. i can’t explain it any other way and i know he cares way too much cause i don’t deserve her. he surprises me way to much. it’s awesome. anyway thanks 🙂
