Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.
Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness,
and at the end of the day you don't look at it
and wish you had painted something different.

God will lead you in the right path and wouldn't let you do anything he wouldn't mind letting you do.  In fact, if you make a big mistake this will bring you closer to him because you'll pray more.  When you pray for your sins, you cover your mistakes listed in your post.  Just pray for God to help you find a way from committing sins.

If your relationship with God is more important to you than  sex, perhaps not having sex is the answer to this mystery?

Wouldn't being a sinner (as you see it) make it all the more important that you pray to your God? Who better than a sinner to need God?

Im in a similar position, just pray harder. That God will grant you the power to stop commiting those sins. And you must actually try.
 I am doing the same, and gradully it is working.

Well, I may be a Buddhist, but the one thing I've learned about stopping habits that you dislike, is that the power lies within you. Based on the Christian viewpoint, it is you that in the end decides to accept God's help. This roughly translates to "look, if you want help, good, but you need to take it when it is there for you". In your religion it is believe that God dwells within your soul, and so, this would logically be the help that he is giving you. I doubt that many believe God will actually come down and swat your hand every time it reaches for your *cough* you get the point.

So the best way to quit is to make the initiative yourself. No problem was ever solved by idly sitting around waiting for a higher being to do something for you. The strength your God gives you is the power of faith. So next time you are about to masturbate or have sex, remember your guilt and it is at this moment that you should probably pray. Before you know it, you will naturally fall into silent meditation on your virtue whenever you have the desire to masturbate or have sex.

You must make the effort first though. No use sitting around asking and not doing anything yourself.


From a personal view, i think masturbation is fine so long as it isn't an addiction. And sex is fine too so long as you are with somebody you have a good relationship with. Honestly, any God who would judge you negatively for doing things that are perfectly natural for the human species needs to get a reality check or GTFO. But, of course, just my opinion

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

Nobody is worthy, but thats what grace is.
Ask for forgiveness and make a consious effort to quit or cut down.
