I understand your circumstances but you need to
bring this issue into the light. The reason I
state that is because at one point because
someone was holding you accountable this was keep
under control. So as you determine your direction
remember that if is not about appearing to be
perfect in man's site. It is about being broken
before God so find someone that is safe and have
them hold you accountable.
Remember to fill the void with Jesus he is the
only answer.
Freedom is worth the effort!

Uuuugghh! I know what you mean. I am in high
school too. And I love GOD so super much. I want
to lead a life that honors GOD alone! But I too,
am addicted to pornography. Its really sick. And
it seems as if I can't go a day without running
to the internet! I am sorry for my iniquitys. And
I want to be free! But I don't know how. And it
seems as if no one cares what I do. I told two of
my best friend. But they didn't have an answer
for me.
I want to be pure for my future husband! But I
feel as if it is to late. (is it to late for
me??)

No. It is not too late. It is never too
late.
Pornography is a very addictive stronghold. It is
strong! But God is stronger and God forgives. "If
we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and
just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every
wrong." (1 John 1:9 NLT) Also, God will work with
those who have a tender heart towards Him, and it
sounds like you do.
1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT says " But remember that
the temptations that come into your life are no
different from what others experience. And God is
faithful. He will keep the temptation from
becoming so strong that you can't stand up
against it. When you are tempted, He will show
you a way out so you will not give into it." The
King James Version calls this a "way of
escape."
It often feels like the temptation is too strong.
I know. But please begin to ask God to show you
"the way of escape" when the strong temptation
does come.
Try to figure out when and why you are most
susceptible. Put plans in place ahead of time of
how to avoid those situations, if possible, and
of how to react and of what to do when they can
not be avoided and temptation comes.
Also, please try to find someone who is an adult
that is a strong and mature Christian that you
can trust and that you can confide in. Let them
know of your struggle, so that they may be able
to help you when you are feeling powerless.
Don't beat yourself up when you fail. Go to God
again. You can go to God as many times as you
need. If you are humble and sincere, He will work
with you. Please remember He is patient, and
gentle, and kind. He is not there to condemn you,
but to help lift you up. Look how patient Jesus
was with Peter and the rest of the disciples. He
will work with you.
When you fail, confess to God, get up, and start
over again. Remember, He cleanses us.
Celebrate your successes as well!!!
This is not everything, but it is some things you
can do.
I will pray that God sends someone into your life
that you can trust and talk to. I will pray that
you never give up, because God will never give up
on you.
He cleanses and cleanses and cleanses, again. He
helps us to change (maybe slowly...but surely) as
we continually look unto Him.
Paul did a lot of things that he was ashamed of,
but God cleansed him. And he wrote "No, dear
brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should
be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one
thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to
what lies ahead." (Philippians 3:13 NLT)
You are precious in the sight of God. He loves
you. He will work with you. He will strengthen
you. He will keep on cleansing you. He will send
people to help you. He will send ways of
escape.
It is a strong battle, but God is on your side!!!
He is always near and ready to help!

There is a program you can download at
www.xxxchurch.com that my daughters
friend has placed on his computer. It flags items
of pornography and other sexual type things,
although it does not stop you from viewing it, it
just bring up a scripture verse and challenges
your accountablity.
You are a beautiful young woman in God's eyes ..
Keep going to Him and He will set you free.
