I started looking at pornography when I was about 12 and am now 21.

I have tried to stop on countless occasions, even trying to wean myself off it by looking at less hardcore stuff, masturbating less often etc. None of it work. I am not the same Christian I was all these years but one this is the same: I WANT IT TO STOP!

Now I would like to confess to you and to God that I have willingly engaged in the viewing of pornographic content and promise to overcome it with the help of God and I apologise wholeheartedly for this sin. I submit myself to you Lord, that you may fill me with the Fruits of Your Holy Spirit, that I may have the necessary strength and resilience from you that will help cure my addiction.

God has given me this verse a few too many times for it to be coincidence:

"In whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly unto the Lord and not unto men or yourself." Colossians 3:23

Pornography is the opposite of this. It is doing wholeheartedly unto yourself or others depending on your situation.

I would also like to all women as I now know that pornography IS offensive and degrading towards you. It is a result of my unfaithfulness and willingness to give into temptation; I cannot change my past but if I could I would. Most of all if I do get married (if that is part of God's plan for me) I would like to apologise to my future wife for these actions but I trust that God will bring me to a place of healing to the extent that I may help others with the same problems I am going through.

Lord, I give myself wholeheartedly to you, let me be a pen in your hand, help me and others to overcome our sex/pornography addiction. I hope more people will submit themselves fully to you and begin the journey, the one that I am starting now to a place of comfort, forgiveness & love.

God Bless
