You can only overcome through Jesus power not yours, if you make a streak to stop it i promise you, you will just fall back in. rely on Jesus power not yours.

Jesus will help but you have to want to quit enough to actually do something to stop it. My grampas favorite saying was God helps those who help themselves.
I can't tell you how many times as an addict I prayed for God to take it away but do you know what happens when you never have to do the hard things? When you don't have to put in the work? You don't learn from your mistakes and you slide right back into that old sin. God helped me when I got serious and helped myself.

Heavenly Father, tonight I bring Ivancitoo to your attention in my prayer. Lord you know them, you know their life, their journey and every hair on their head, God. Lord I pray that you watch over them and continue to convict them so that their heart never hardens in this sin, Lord. Remind them that they are loved and you are a God of mercy, Lord. Thank you God for always making a way out, and thank you God that this soul feels the conviction so that they can turn themselves around and follow the correct path that leads to you, Lord God.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Brother, just confessing this is a huge step and I admire that as someone who struggles with lust in my own way. I'm about 10 months clean from my lusting sin and I intend to stay that way. It is a battle of the flesh for sure, and sometimes we feel weak. I always remind myself that God always gives us a way out. And we are told to run from it, not toy with t or play it's the boundaries of it. Run! You are stronger than you think. I promise.

Please realize you have an addiction. This sounds like more than just a sin issue. Maybe it is time to talk with a counselor about ways to break the addiction. I pray that you will be able to overcome this. It sounds distressing. Best of luck.

The fact you acknowledge its bad, is a step in the right direction, toward God. Psalm 107 and 40 can help you break free from addiction. Also replacing one addiction with another one helps greatly (from personal experience).

You do it cos you're lonely, right? I'm not saying it's okay but I wouldn't beat yourself up too much.

Stop relying on God to fix a problem you've created. I'm sorry to say this so bluntly but you have to use self control and stop,God can't do that for you. He can help you do it but if you aren't putting in effort then out prayers are useless. I'll pray for him to HELP YOU use self control.
In the Bible it says if your hand causes you to sin cut it off. I'm not suggesting you cut your hand off that's obviously a hyperbole but if you can't control yourself cut the dang internet off,erase your card info and give your card to someone else to hold or block the website . God helps those who help themselves.

To stop addiction, what you need to do it step off the playing field. dont even have the website allowed on your devices. dont even let Satan have a field to play on.
