I lift my eyes from the place of my struggle,
From the dark corners where battles rage unseen.
My help comes from the Lord,
Maker of heaven, earth, and the depths of my heart.
Lust has destroyed more than wine ever could
It cloaks itself in pleasure,
But its bite is sharper than steel.
It kisses the lips, then devours the soul.
......
If I have found favor before Your sight,
O Lord, incline Your ear to my pleading.
In my despair I am lost;
I know not where to turn
nor whom to speak to but You.
Fear surrounds me;
I lift my eyes only to You.
Lord, I am terrified
the weapons raised against Your people,
......
O God, I have no excuse.
I knew it was wrong before I did it.
I felt Your warning and ignored it.
I chose my desire over Your holiness,
and now the weight of it crushes me.
My sin is always before me.
It follows me into prayer.
It follows me into worship.
It follows me into my sleep.
......
Let us win over our Greatest Sin!
The most important journey, let’s begin
This will be life’s biggest win
Realizing we are not this body, this skin
Then, the sinner will be free from sin
Let us win over our Greatest Sin!
Who doesn’t Sin? We all do sin
We live with greed and pride within
Lust and envy drive our engine

The day I let pornography in...
I didn’t even know what I was letting in.
I was just a curious boy 11, maybe 12
scrolling one evening.
One video.
One image.
One pop-up.
One “harmless” click.
Boom.
That was the beginning of the shadows.

Lord, I cannot fight unless You fight for me.
I am no one unless Your grace upholds me.
I am ashamed when You do not give me courage.
Daily I contend not with men
But with my own flesh,
For it seeks to drag me into error, to destroy me from within.
Like David, I cry: Have mercy upon me, O God.
Remove from me every root that bears destruction.
Uproot what leads to death. Expose what hides in darkness.
I stand before You guilty.
