Catholic teen in need of help?
Im 15 and / or Catholic, and I have a problem with lust. Its difficult for me to stop thinking about lust. Sometimes when I go out of temptation, which leads to the temptation away for a while, but not for long.
Be offended and hurt his love for God, but no matter what I do, sometimes I can not get these thoughts in my head. I've been saying the rosary twice a week, but that really does not help much. I also prayed for him, but the next day these thoughts creep back into my head. When you get to this temptation, I try to focus on something else, but the temptation is very strong and sometimes comes to me, despite my efforts. Im going to confession on Saturday to get a clean slate for the times I've screwed up. I just need some guidance or advice on how to resist or fight against all forms of sexual temptation in the future.
Please, no media Assed answers, I am a devout Catholic.
Hello Poje,
I'm glad you've asked for help. It is a temptation difficult to overcome, but with God's help is possible.
Go to confession helps. But we also recommend seeking the spiritual guidance of their local priest. 've thought about that? That is something that will help a lot.
Also if you have not heard of it before you should listen to Jason Evert. He is very good. He talks a lot about this issue. He and his wife have spoken in front of thousands of high school students. Give great advice. Sometimes in life on the rock. A program that appears on the Catholic network EWTN.
I think the best way to resist the temptation to go to Mass every day (something we should do more often!), Prayer, reading books about the saints, go to healing masses, listen to people who have gone through the same thing.
And do not forget to pray the rosary. That is the most powerful tool against the devil. He hates the rosary. The reason for the temptation to go back because that is what has altered so that the temptation is even stronger. So the best way to get back …. pray the Rosary!
Although she is not Catholic I believe that Joyce Meyer is one of the most inspirational speakers. She has helped me a lot. I like listening to Joyce Meyer, because it also speaks of the temptation.
I know it is against the temptation and go for it. Especially when you meet a good person. You begin to have lustful thoughts. But when you have friends who have morals, chastity and practice and go to church every Sunday you can overcome those strong feelings. Just pray pray pray.
I'll be in my prayers.
God bless.
Love can wait to give, but lust can not wait to get. Jason Evert –
Congratulations. You're a normal human. If you do not have these feelings, as a species that does not exist now. It is important to control them, but do not feel guilty for having them.
Everyone has sexual feelings ….. because we are human.
His parents
Priests
The nuns
Grandparents
Everyone.
It is not the feeling that they are wrong ….. is what you will do with those feelings.
Talk to your parents
Hello I am a nurse, a mother, a former Catholic. Personally I do not believe that God wants us to suffer such agony through a normal stage in human development. Just think that this cruel trick of the body with excess hormones that give you the "lust feelings, and then asked not react.The thoughts and feelings that are normal are all young with this fight. Under normal circumstances that could trigger self-pleasure, his most used its safe and effective. Unfortunately our body is ready for sex before it's practical, they are still young and morals are admirable. His attitude is refreshing in this age where these things are taken too lightly.Your idea to talk to the priest who is a good thing that can give advice.
You need help 'hunger' your lust "hungry."
If you glancing at the picture or capture an individual who is causing you to lust, look away (maybe you say a Hail Mary).
Staying close to the sacraments.
Seek the help of San Jose is a pattern chasitity.
Try to stay active. A good physical aspect of his life (Walking, excercising, walking outside) can help lower your sexual desire.
His age is difficult, but keep it and above all, do not forget that the hardest part is not kept pure, is back once you've escaped.
Poje,
We've all been there. Please understand that God knows how difficult a time you have, trying to avoid temptation. And He knows your desire to avoid the sins against purity. Have confidence in their faith. Now you are in an age when their hormones are added. And this over-sexualized world that is struggling. But do not worry, it's completely normal.
I would recommend that, when faced with temptation to look for a girl or boy lust, try to simply say: "Jesus, I trust you." I try when I'm saying this to the temptation or need. Calling me the name of the Lord Jesus to help.
I wish that you could give me some kind of fool-proof tip to help you completely avoid this temptation, but I can not. I have suffered through what you are going through, and I still sometimes see the suffering, and I'm 32yo. The world is not easy for us to do, right? I will pray for you.
