One of my Darkest Hours

[lostlamb99]

I think this is what most of guys go through and have to go through. I'm a newby so please bear with me. We all go through the times when we get curious especially about sex. Now I know this is a very delicate subject but I'm relating from my own experience and I won't elaborate that much. I thank God that I didn't end up in a situation I din't want to get in.
When you reach pubertyyou start getting urges and tend to go through stuff and that's when lust comes in. I started struggling with lust when I turned 12 but it wasn't much though but when I turned 13 it got worst, I was imagining stuff in my head, stuff that's still lurking there ready to take a hold of me a gian. Until just this summer vacation I went through a lot of trials and most of the time I failed. I didn't go watching or even just looking at pornographic material but I did something wrong, which other non-Christian guys would say to be nothing. But I knew that just Thinking in my head was already a Heinous crime. Why? Jesus said in Matthew, "Whoever looks at a woman with lust in his heart, has already committed adultery with her." This verse kept on convicting me everyday the whole vacation and heavier on Sundays. But I just kept ignoring until it was finally time for us to go back to Jeddah. I remembered the God's word and the words I told my Grandfather when I consulted him. I said, "For me the best way to overcome lust or any other problem is to pray and leave God to change you through and through." My own words and God's Word finally lead me back to the right path. Although every now and then I fall in the same obvious trap, I continue to go on because I know that God will forgive me cause He already did when I accepted Christ in my life.
This site has helped me to continue to walk firmly in my Faith cause I know that God has a purpose for my life!
I jhope this helps all of those who know whta I've gone through. And God bless Everyone!

As a fellow teen, I've gone through a lot of the same feelings and sadly have given into them, something I regret to this day. I'm glad you're back on the right path. Always remember that you are not alone in your struggle! Thank you for sharing.

That's a good testimony. Thanks a lot for sharing that. I think it's fair to say that every guy has troubles with his thought life or is tempted in this way at some point in his life. For myself, when I was an early teen I was trying to find excuses to live and think the way I wanted to. It's awesome that you've realized the wrong way to go and have already begun the endeavor to be a man after God's own heart. Thanks for sharing, bro.
