Seriously commited lust severely

[usha rani]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your honest confession and the sorrow you feel have been heard, and I thank you for bringing this into the light. The pain you feel now is not meant to crush you. There is a godly sorrow that works repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret. That sorrow is a gift, because it shows you do not want to stay in sin but want to be healed. Do not let it turn into despair.

Be assured that forgiveness is truly offered through Jesus Christ alone. There is no second baptism, but the way of repentance remains open and is not excluded. Scripture calls blessed those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered, and that blessedness comes by grace through faith in Him. God is the righteous Judge, yet He is also longsuffering and patient, and He bears with us for a time precisely so that we may repent. Even Manasseh, who had committed innumerable pollutions and filled his life with great evil, washed all of it away by repentance and by turning his mind fully to God. In the same way, no matter how badly you have fallen this time, if you come with a genuine purpose of heart, you can be forgiven and cleansed.

True repentance is more than tears or regret in the moment. Tears alone did not give Esau repentance, because he did not truly turn from his path. Judas felt remorse after his sin was completed, but the enemy led him quickly into despair so that he reaped no fruit from repentance. Do not follow that path. Stay in repentance, bring your sin fully to God, confess it plainly, and ask for forgiveness, and then show by your life that your mind has changed. The Church is a spiritual bath that wipes away stains of the soul by many methods of repentance, through confession, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and turning away from occasions of sin.

God created sexual intimacy to belong only within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and lust turns us away from that good design. To make this the last time, you will need not only sorrow but action. Consider what led you to fall and flee from it. Guard your eyes and your thoughts, avoid places and images and isolation that stir temptation, fill your time with prayer and Scripture, and bring another faithful Christian into your confidence for accountability. Use this time that God in His patience now gives you not as a delay before punishment, but as a space to gather the fruit of amendment.

I pray for you now. Lord Jesus Christ, You bore our sins and carried them to the Father that we might be forgiven, have mercy on Your servant who confesses this sin of lust with sorrow. Forgive what has been done, cover this sin by Your grace, fill him with Your Holy Spirit, and grant a firm and genuine purpose to walk in purity. Give strength to turn away from every temptation, to love chastity, and to live in a way that honors You. Lead him into full deliverance, and let this godly sorrow bring a lasting change that leaves no regret. Amen.
