For all my brothers who are still struggling with this. We as men of God deserve better. Take note the enemy tempts us with sexual immorality. Because he thinks us weak. I have been fighting this same demon since high school but God is delivering me from it. For all of us I claim mental and spiritual healing.

I pray for all of us. Nicholas, please let go of your guilt. As soon as you ask God for forgiveness and repent you are forgiven. God is the only real judge, He can judge because He is perfect and if He is forgiving you how can you not forgive yourself? If God forgives us and we don’t forgive ourselves it’s like if we are having a higher threshold than God and who are we to demand more of ourselves than God does. Be thankful that we serve an amazing God that is good, just, and forgiving. And the best way to show that is by forgiving yourself and asking God to use your experience to help others. Have a great day my brother’s. God bless you all.

How do you get past the guilt? I cheated 4 times. Twice before becoming a Christian and twice more after. The men in my group did not rally to me or help me. They judged and asked to depart from their group. I was asked to leave the small church I was in. I was married for 27 years when it ended. I pray for the guilt and pain and destruction to be removed. The guilt robs my day of joy. It obscures my creativity, it affects all my relationships. I don’t feels I deserve to be loved.

Gentlemen, all of you are in my prayers. Remember that Jesus will never let go once you've asked him into your life (Romans 8:38-39). Keep your eyes on Him so that you can see your wife as a precious gift from God and not let your lusts overtake your marriage. I forgot and treated her as my toy since I wanted sex and she didn't. It is only by His grace that we are still together and growing more deeply in love. Thank you Jesus for loving and guiding us e very minute of every day!

I must sadly confess that this is has been one of the nighest battles in my entire 65 years. First introduced to pornas a teen by a friend and his father shortly after being sexually abused by two of my brothers it has plagued me since. At one point it and an addiction to gambling had such holds on me that almost ended up on the streets with no where to turn during a very cold bitter winter shortly after the blizzard tof 1978 hat swept through the area wereI lived.
I am doing much. better ss of late since findimg this app than I have in years but must confess to having slipped last night. As soon as it happened though I turned it off and confessed my sin to God asking for His forgiveness nut yet this morning I wake with the enemy tryingbto bring me guiltand telling me what a failure I am. The attack is so bad that I almost did not come on here this morning to read this this articule and. even thought about deleting the app.
Holy Spirit please please sweep through me cleansing my mind of these desires and help me get onto amd stay on the right path neber to commit adultery again my wife ever again.

Thank you for the insight and sharing. I continue to struggle with the thoughts I have and feel like I have been alone in this.
Your vulnerability to share what you have experienced is an encouragement to me in that I am not alone.
I ask that for prayers that the Holy Spirit would flood me and renew my mind and clean my heart and thoughts.

This one is so serious y’all, I never understood the weighted meaning of this until I caught myself slipping hard. I would say giving into lust, porn or adultery is a FAST way to eat an elephant. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, then it’s gone. I’m so fortunate that I was given the opportunity to change my mind and my heart before I destroyed my marriage. Little did I know, even by entertaining thoughts I was hurting my marriage. God gives us the chance, through Jesus, to wipe our sin away and start again. It’s the only way, and boy am I thankful for it. If you’re struggling, get help and don’t suppress it by hiding it. Talk to a believer, odds are your helper is closer than you know.

In 2019 an addiction to porn led me to commit physical adultery against my wife many times with questionable women. (Men remember everything that is done in darkness will eventually come to the light). By the grace of God I came across this app and the Lord put Christian men in my life that have poured into me lifting me up. My wife and I are back together teaching our kids right from wrong and what consequences sin brings. We are healing but this is the toughest thing that we’ve ever had to walk through, It has been a year since I’ve been on any porn sites but the images of what I’ve done and the the things I’ve seen are still there, with Gods help we are getting through day by day. Men please I encourage you if you are looking at porn please stop now you don’t want to walk this road believe me.
44/365: Stop Staring, Start Praying
"You shall not commit adultery." ~ God Exodus 20:14
Adultery is a scourge to Christian men and rampant in the church. Yes...adultery.
God is clear and Jesus made it real when He said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
If you've looked at porn and you are married... this means you. If you've gazed longingly at "her" and imagined things... and you are married... this means you.
God laid down the law, Jesus drilled it down to the heart.
Pray to unleash healing in our brother's hearts. Don't judge - just pray and pray hard today.
