Beloved of All
Christ Jesus, I am having a problem with lust. I keep turning to sin, and I really don't want to as it makes me feel ashamed, and it puts guilt in my heart. I don't know if I can be redeemed, or if I'm even worthy of Your love anymore. I give what I can to charity, as the Bible says 'charity covers a multitude of sins' but I don't know if it covers the sins of sexual immorality, like the lust I give in to way too often - even once is too often.
I can't live with guilt, and I can't live with the feeling that damnation is waiting around the corner for me. God, how will You get through to me that I am saved, if I am saved? I am ashamed to even pray about it, but I know that I should pray about it. A grown man who is getting married should be loving their spouse, and not succumbing to lust and sexual addiction to porn. Its not my spouse's issue, or an issue with lovemaking that we have - its my own evil desires. God, how can You make me clean if I keep running and sinning like I do? How can I hope on Your blessing Jesus, if I keep covering myself in shame? I don't have any more money to give to charity, now - so if charity covers sins, how will I give more? Is what I gave enough?
Jesus Christ, do You condemn me? I know it is written that You are not come to condemn the world but to save it, does this apply to me also? I honestly don't know what I should be feeling in my heart, as I just once again gave in to this evil.
God, am I able to fixed, and redeemed? How do I go about denying these impulses in a way that is effective? Christ Jesus, will You forgive me before God? Am I going to hell?
Whatever Your verdict is on it Jesus, let my heart know so that I can know what I should do. Please forgive me. In Jesus Christ's name I pray, amen.
