My life’s a mess

[u/danirobot]

Porn addict (it’s a strong pull), unemployed and still unable to score a job. General sense of hopelessness and anxiety.

The rest just goes into more detail, but no need to read it all if you just wanna start praying for me

thank u

I have a great singing voice (people say they like it) but my terrible anxiety always stops me from posting my finished songs online. I feel like the parable of talents where the guy buried his talent :( I want to feel faith and not anxiety for once.

I have a long distance girlfriend who’s given me chance after chance but I’m always afraid she’s gonna give up on me because I can’t seem to get my life to move forward

I’m at the point where I don’t have a car and had to move back in with my parents. Though I’m grateful that my parents took me in, I am almost 40, which makes this very depressing.

I did some bad sins 6 years ago (paid for s*x), and I’m always afraid that this has spiritually cursed me because it’s ever since then that my life went totally stagnant and the terrible fear/anxiety started there. I wish I had never done that.

I need prayer. Someone to care enough to pray Mercy over my life.

Something you might want to keep in mind: We are all tempted, every single day and waking hour, but the key is to stop the suggestion of sin at the doorway of your mind and soul. If, for example, a suggestion of lust pops into your mind, ask God to take it away. Do it enough times, and your attention will stop getting hijacked by those thoughts. The gravity of porn addition is strong, but you will find the longer you go without it, the weaker that gravity gets, and the more likely you will break free. A lot of good advice here, but I am praying for you. Don't give up. It's doable.
