I'm sorry about this, I hadn't masturbated for more than 21 days, today I had a moment of weakness alone at home in front of my computer. And I fell, I feel so dirty, I feel so miserable, for having failed God and me. Please help me I am in a dead end pit.
I'm sorry to hear. All I can say is that most of us all have been there. When this happens after a good streak you might be tempted to stay down and give up, at least that is what happened to me these last 6 months. And let me tell you, that that only made my pit deeper. Remember that before we act in M God warns us, but after we have committed sin, God also is the one who welcomes us back into his arms. It's Satan who tries to keep you down, drowning in your own guilt. So don't fall in that trap! Ask the lord for forgiveness, get back up and give it another go! Winners are not those who never fail, winners are those that never give up.
Your behavior is no surprise to God. He knew this would happen and yet he still embraced you out of his great love for you. PMO is a pit, but the deeper pit is shame. You have been set free from that. So do not let the weight of shame keep you from attacking your PMO with gusto.

I use to feel that way when I've fallen. I think it's normal. But don't forget God waits for you with all His love regardless what you did. He loves you. Don't allow shame and guilt separate you from Him more
Don't do it any more , your brain has already started to change after 21 days so not all of your progress is lost. Just forget about the slip up and move on
Gracias a todos por sus palabras, no tienen idea de la gran ayuda que es para mi, he tomado la decisión de bloquear sitios, borrar redes sociales, se que Dios nos llama a vivir una vida pura sexualmente y he estado luchando con esto por más de 10 años. Desde que era adolescente, gracias hermanos en Cristo, oremos los unos por los otros. Tus palabras me dan ánimo y aliento.
I can so relate, as I’m just coming off a several weeks yo-yo of falling, confession, falling again. I felt so shameful and dirty too. The deeper I fell into the shame the worst it got. We need to move past that through the Word and God. I’m back heading in the right way, as you can.
Cuando estemos dispuestos a hacer lo que sea necesario para liberarnos del pecado y la muerte, ciertamente nos liberaremos.
I see we are all searching for that essential thing that will keep us free from these sins of lust. The elusive thing about it is that alone we are powerless against this temptation. No amount of self-control and determination is sufficient to resist this evil trap. The secret, it seems to me, is to call on God for help. Frequently, fervently, ceaselessly. Therefore, I believe there are two vital first steps. (1) Admit and believe that we cannot rely on ourselves (2) Learn to trust in God's grace and make it a frequent habit to pray to Him for this help. I think this is the crux of what St. Paul meant when he wrote this in Corinthians 2, 12:8-10 "8 Three times I asked the Lord about this, that it should leave me; 9 but he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities;for when I am weak , then I am strong." RSV-CE
Love this bible verse so much! What other religion allows us to be weak and rely on the one that created us and gave us his son! None
I suspect that Google spell check feature corrupted the cut and paste of this verse that I made. I hope everyone notes that the original text of 2 Corinthians 12 v8 reads "Three times I "besought" the Lord about this" and not three times I kissed the Lord about this. Sorry for the confusion, I must somehow discover how to turn the spell check feature off when I don't need it.
Hey Tao, btw if you don't mind me asking, why is your streak counter on 33 days, did I miss something?
