The main takeaway from this sermon is that the gospel (through the Holy Spirit) produces change in us; we don't force that change ourselves.

I need to prove to myself and my managers (by God's grace) that I can do an adequate or even brilliant job at work.

Yesterday I let down the manager due to complacency and fear of customers.

But I ask you to please pray that I'll be confident at work today and this week.

And that I'll please prevent theft well and remember details of customers well.

I'm at the end of my rope in terms of feeling exhausted from failure.

I feel like things won't be the same without the comfort I feel from sexual pleasure, respectfully but honestly speaking.

My prayer request is that God will help me feel better without needing to turn to these things.

Life isn't easy when there's so much to worry about and when I feel like turning to sexual pleasure.

My prayer request here is that God will help me stop craving for a girlfriend and that I'll know what to do to find one.

Please also pray that I'll find one soon if it's God's will.

I've sent emails to porn recovery organisations such as Fight The New Drug and Impact Suite (Fortify) to encourage them to spread the word about the legal dangers of AI-generated porn.

Some world wide web sites are flooded with AI-generated content that is sexualised. It's illegal to possess such content, let alone make it.

My prayer request is that these organisations will take heed of my emails and integrate the word about the dangers of using AI porn.

According to Greenfield Lawyers, it is illegal to possess AI-generated sexualised content or otherwise AI-generated pornographic content.

The issue with AI-generated content generally is that the AI program may scrape images of random individuals from the internet.

With AI-generated porn or even sexualised AI-generated media, it becomes even more risky in legal terms.

I just want to spread the word out there of the dangers of AI porn not only for the collaterally affected individuals, but also for the users of websites who may stumble upon AI-generated porn.

I find that as a schizophrenic person, I often talk to myself or to God out loud as if talking to another person.

I wish to stop but I just feel comfortable talking this way.

I'm Not intending to stop praying.

But I'm intending to stop talking to myself out loud or to God in a schizophrenic way.

Could you please pray for me to be able to stop the habit long term? Thanks!

I find that if I don't ever have a girlfriend or wife, I won't have a sexual way of living if I give up porn.

But I wish to ask for your opinions to convince myself of the benefits of quitting as a single man.

Specifically, I can't do E unless I'm having an NSFW fantasy while doing M alone in bed.

When doing M in bed, I find it very hard to stop. I feel like I need to get that E before I can relax.

It's so hard to break the addiction.

I'm listening to a porn quitting audiobook that goes through the psychology behind porn. Later down the track, hopefully I'll find it easier to understand how to quit.

Disclaimer: I'm NOT at risk of harming others. I'm also under the supervision of a psychiatrist.

As of tonight, I've decided to stop having NSFW sexual fantasies. I realise that if I had a real girlfriend, she would be afraid of me because of such fantasies.

But I realise that stopping these fantasies will be near impossible for me. I'll need Jesus's strength long term.

Any advice I can receive regarding this matter before I revisit a professional?

Please pray that I'll commit to stopping my NSFW fantasies and that I'll find a girlfriend once I stop the habits of having such fantasies.

I'm asking because I have a friend who is heavily beaten by various horrible life circumstances.

He's literally trying out the Buddha to see if he will show more mercy to him than Jesus.

What arguments are there to suggest that Jesus is the true God and other religion gods are of no value despite their popularity?

Other Christians keep telling me I'll get a girlfriend soon.

It upsets me because there's no off switch to stop my constantly nagging desires while I wait for a girlfriend opportunity.

I can't keep living like this; living in frustration and anticipation, only to Not get close to developing closer friendships with females whom I meet and know.

None of them click with me, nor are interested in developing a dating relationship with me. But they're still friendly with me.

It's the frustration and nagging desires that tire me out.

For those who don't know, I work as a store greeter.

Currently, I hesitate to speak up to customers if they're carrying more items than what's indicated on the receipt.

With that said, please pray that I'll have the courage from now on over the long term to speak up and further inspect customers if necessary.

I've prayed to God about this too. I currently struggle to succeed in the mentioned area of my duties despite praying to God.

I guess porn use, especially from this past year, has rewired my brain in such a way that I find it hard to find pleasure in usual things.

That combined with antipsychotic medications have caused me to feel less emotional in general.

I do still feel happiness at times. But I don't feel that sudden dopamine spike when I live day by day.

With this said, I wonder how to enjoy life apart from sexual content.

I know everyone's lives are different and your suggestions may be different to my ideas.

I even got extra employment recently which is good. I'm happy with myself but I feel like life still doesn't have a lot to look forward to.

What are your thoughts on this issue of blandness that I'm facing?

I find it interesting but unsettling at the same time, mainly because of the rich man's fate. But I'm blessed to know that those who mourn will indeed be comforted.

I ask because I feel like pleasure, whether sexual or not, feels like the best thing to value.

I wish to redirect my mind to other things to look forward to. To do this, I'm brainstorming here with this community.
