Please pray for me, I continue to struggle with sin. I’ve struggled with pornography and lust for a long time. It seems like the more I want to get closer to God the more I struggle and I’m worried about loosing my salvation. I ask God every day to deliver me from pornography, lust and anything else that holds me back from getting closer to him. I would love to serve in church but the more my want to be in community at church the more I struggle. Please help me pray for this. I fear I’ll loose my salvation over this. Thank you

Wrkte these down on sticky notes or index cards and align them in front of you (bathroom mirror or somewhere you're at alot during the day. Meditate on them and save them in your heart so when you're reminded of them when the urge to sin hits. Words that represent the opposites or contrasting virtues to sin, lust, fear, and worry, aligned with biblical principles: 1. **Sin**: - **Righteousness**: Living in accordance with God's will and commands ([Romans 6:13](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/romans/6/13/)). - **Holiness**: Being set apart for God's purposes and reflecting His character ([1 Peter 1:15-16](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/i-peter/1/15/i-peter/1/16/)). 2. **Lust**: - **Purity**: Maintaining a pure heart and mind, reflecting God’s intentions for sexuality ([Matthew 5:8](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/matthew/5/8/)). - **Self-control**: Exercising restraint over desires and actions ([Galatians 5:22](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/galatians/5/22/)). 3. **Fear**: - **Faith**: Trusting in God and His promises, believing in His sovereignty and care ([2 Timothy 1:7](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/ii-timothy/1/7/)). - **Courage**: Boldness in the face of fear, rooted in God's strength ([Joshua 1:9](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/joshua/1/9/)). 4. **Worry**: - **Peace**: The calm assurance and tranquility that comes from trusting God ([Philippians 4:6-7](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/philippians/4/6/philippians/4/7/)). - **Assurance**: Confidence in God’s provision and care, leading to a lack of anxiety ([Matthew 6:25-34](https://thecrosstalk.com/holy-bible/matthew/6/25/matthew/6/34/)). These opposing virtues encourage believers to cultivate a life that reflects God's character and teachings, focusing on righteousness, purity, faith, courage, peace, and assurance. guidance, free to ask!

Don’t focus on the sin, because Jesus took care of that, but focus on filling your mind with new righteous information gradually, eventually your hunger for righteous information will become ferocious and it will replace your old desires.

Hey, you’re not alone in this, and the fact that you’re still seeking God really matters. I’m praying God gives you strength, peace, and self-control, and draws you closer to Him even through this. Don’t give up 🤍🙏🏽
