NoFap Streak: 88 Days
Hello everyone I just want to tell you that my feelings our confused at this moment so I donât have much to say. I will say that my emotions are getting the best of me. (No I havenât relapsed yet) But I think that I will try my best to be in control of my emotions. Desire is also unforgiving, because I have these desires to relapse. Even at this stage the battle is still fresh. I must set my mind on things of God, and not on the things of the flesh. This is a happiness that will last only for just a few minutes, but my happiness is in the Lord. My mindset should always be to thank God for each day that I am alive. To get this out I must clear my mind. Okay now then I have the urge to relapse, I have the desire to masturbate. So I ask myself this question, God made me in his image, so what must I do to overcome this? Answer, I will place my hope in the Lord. As I keep telling @user1234567890 God bless you Brother and donât give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives. God will bless us indeed, and he will give us hope. Also we must keep fighting and fighting, for our redemption is always near. Well I just wanted to get that of my mind and it is here in this forum.
Romans 8:5 (KJV) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father,
I pray that I donât give in to this desire. Set my mind on the things that are of the spirit, and not of the flesh. Father I pray for @user1234567890 that he will feel better in his sickness. Place your hand on @user1234567890 and heal his body. Father I that my emotions will not be scrambled but I pray that my emotions will be in line. Thank you Lord for each and every day. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Hello everyone, I am sorry 
that I missed yesterday. I have been thinking yesterday that is the reason why I didnât write in my journal yesterday. What I have been thinking hmmm letâs see, I have been thinking that I will be stronger in my fight. I will always have an urge. Yesterday I had a quiet time to think about a lot of things.
I was thinking that I donât need this habit to win happiness. I need the Lord to be with me each and every day.
Romans 8:27 (KJV) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
So you see my friend when you search your heart, we know the mind of the spirit. We shall make a request for all the saints, for this is the will of God. Take the time each and everyday to set a time to concentrate on the word of the Lord. God will answer your request to be better and break the chains of masturbation, â â â â , and all philiaâs. As I said before in one of my journal entries âChallenges can be hard to commit to because they take more out of you than you expected. Challenging yourself everyday can be hard but it doesnât have to be. Commit to certain tasks each and everyday and the challenges will get easier. Once you commit to certain days then you have to crawl to those certain days. (Ex. Day 0 Challenge 5 Days). Avoid at all costs to exert yourself or you will fail.â
Take 15 minutes a day to enjoy the sunshine and nature. Concentrate on your breathing and you have to listen to your surroundings and pay attention what is going on around you.
James 5:16 (KJV) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father,
I pray that I get over this habit of masturbating. I know that I havenât relapsed yet but I pray that I remain strong. Build my life the way you would want me to be. I want to be the person you would want me to be. I ask, Lord, that you remove all tactics of Satan from my mind, soul and spirit. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

NoFap Streak: 91 Days
Hello, I appreciate yâall for listening to my thoughts. I have this overconfident attitude again. I know that I havenât reached God mode yet. But I know that it probably last either 2 years or 1 month. Here is a timeline of the NoFap Journey:
The nofap timeline is divided into three stages.
First stage: Initial excitement and testosterone build-up
Second stage: The nofap flatline
Third stage: God Mode (nofap benefits)
The flatline is characterized by:
- Low energy
- Numbness
- No sexual desire
- Slight depression.
- Emptiness.
- Muscle weakness.
- Tiredness
- Brain Fog.
- No desire for social interactions.
- Your emotions will be numb.
- Inability to focus.
The Nofap Flatline: it will last anywhere from a month to two years and a half.
So as you see I still have no desire to do this. I am still in the flatline stage of this NoFap journey. I must place my focus on the things of God. Now I want to share with you what my church service was about today.
Listen to it closely because their is a message in this service.
1 Chronicles 16:34 (KJV) O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father,
I pray that whoever reads this will understand the message that I am trying to say. I know that I am not perfect and I know that I can never be. Help me Lord to concentrate and set my mind on the Spirit and not on the flesh. Father I pray for @user1234567890 that he will feel better during the coming days. Lord be my rock and my salvation, and help me live the life that is pleasing to you. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

âGod comes not in outward noise, nor when the mind is agitated, but in inner silence. His very being is silence. In silence he speaks to the soulâŚand meditation is your process for listening.â
~ Paramhansa Yogananda
Meditation
Meditation is a mental practice that helps you focus, relax, and connect with your inner self. It involves techniques like focusing on your breath, repeating a word or phrase (mantra), visualizing calming scenes, or just observing your thoughts without judgment. Meditation is used to reduce stress, increase awareness, improve concentration, and enhance overall mental and physical well-being.
There are several types of meditation, including:
-
Mindfulness Meditation: Involves paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment, often focusing on the breath to anchor yourself in the present.
-
Guided Meditation: Involves a teacher or recording guiding you through imagery or relaxing scenes to help you reach a meditative state.
-
Transcendental Meditation â˘: A mantra-based practice where you repeat a specific word or sound to transcend ordinary thought.
-
Loving-kindness Meditation: Focuses on cultivating compassion for yourself and others by visualizing and sending positive energy outward.
-
Zen Meditation (Zazen): A traditional practice that encourages sitting with the spine straight and focusing on breathing or observing thoughts.
-
Body Scan Meditation: Guides you through different parts of your body, helping release tension and promote relaxation.
Meditation doesnât require a lot of time. Just a few minutes each day can bring noticeable benefits, such as reduced anxiety, improved focus, and greater emotional resilience.
Meditation on the word of the Lord
Meditating on the Word of the Lord is about slowing down, being present, and allowing Scripture to fill your mind and spirit. Here are some steps to deepen your meditation:
-
Choose a Scripture Passage: Select a verse or passage that resonates with you. It could be something youâre drawn to for encouragement, understanding, or even a specific need.
-
Pray for Understanding: Begin with a prayer, asking God for insight and wisdom. Open your heart to hear His voice through the words.
-
Read Slowly and Reflectively: Read the passage several times, slowly and intentionally. Let each word sink in, and notice any phrases that stand out or stir something within you.
-
Personalize the Passage: Imagine God speaking directly to you through these words. How do they apply to your life right now?
-
Meditate in Silence: After reading, sit quietly, letting the words settle in your heart. Donât rushâallow Godâs peace to fill you.
-
Journal Your Thoughts: Write down what the passage means to you, any insights that come up, or ways it might apply to your day.
-
End in Prayer and Gratitude: Thank God for His Word, for the peace or clarity Heâs brought, and for His presence in your life.
Through this meditative practice, you can experience the Word as âliving and activeâ (Hebrews 4:12) and allow it to shape your heart and mind.
Prayer Meditation
Prayer meditation combines elements of prayer and meditation to create a reflective and calming practice. Hereâs a simple guide to get you started:
1. Find a Quiet Space
- Choose a peaceful location where you wonât be disturbed.
2. Set an Intention
- Before you begin, set a clear intention for your meditation. This could be for guidance, healing, gratitude, or simply to connect with a higher power.
3. Get Comfortable
- Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. You can close your eyes or soften your gaze.
4. Focus on Your Breath
- Take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. Allow your breath to become natural.
5. Begin Prayer
- Start with a simple prayer, expressing your thoughts, desires, or feelings. This could be a traditional prayer, or you can speak from the heart.
6. Listen and Reflect
- After your prayer, take time to listen. Allow thoughts and feelings to arise without judgment. This is a time for reflection and connection.
7. Visualize or Repeat a Mantra
- If you feel inclined, visualize a peaceful scene or repeat a mantra that resonates with you, such as âPeaceâ or âLove.â
8. Conclude with Gratitude
- End your session by expressing gratitude for the time you took and any insights you received. You may choose to say another prayer or simply sit in silence.
9. Take Your Time
- When youâre ready, gradually bring your awareness back to the present. Take a moment before opening your eyes and transitioning back to your day.
Tips:
- Regular Practice: Try to incorporate prayer meditation into your daily routine for maximum benefits.
- Be Patient: Allow yourself to ease into the practice. Itâs normal for thoughts to wander; gently bring your focus back each time.
Feel free to adapt this practice to suit your beliefs and preferences!
Hosea 4:1 (KJV) Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Quiet my heart and still my soul as I wait on you during these moments alone. I recognize you as a holy and majestic Godâone who deserves great praise and glory. All of creation testifies to your awesome and unique works. There is no one like you, no other God worthy of honor. I want to focus on You, Lord, and to shut out all the distractions of the world. For these next few moments, itâs just you and me, God. You are Spirit, but you are a God who knows us so intimately. I like to imagine you literally sitting here beside me, because of your promise that you are Emmanuelâalways âwith us.â As I think about the truths in your Word, may the meditation of my heart be sweet and honoring to you. I am not trying to clear out my mind. I simply want you to empty me of self and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I long for your presence, Lord. Narrow my thoughts to include only those things that are honorable, truthful, beautiful, pure, and praiseworthy. I ask for your wisdom to apply these truths to my life morning, noon, and nightâliterally all through the day. For you are worthy to be praised all the time. I remember your great faithfulness in the past and am so grateful that you shower fresh mercy and grace on me each morning. I rehearse your goodness through answered prayer and personal reminders to me daily of your love for me. Even when I feel alone or distant from you, you draw me back into your presence when I purposely slow down and draw close to you. I treasure your Word and want to chew on the truths you reveal to me today. As I pull apart each piece and reflect on every principle and word of instruction, Iâm asking you to guide me and teach me what you want me to know. Is there a promise here for me to remember? Is there an action I need to take or a sin to forsake? Is there more for me to understand about your character? Help me personalize your message to my heart today. Your Word is powerful. I celebrate the strength and wisdom you will give me as I learn to honor and glorify you more. I need you and love you, Lord. And I ask you to speak through your Word and in these quiet moments together. Whisper or shout into my spirit, whichever you want, and whatever I need the most. But most of all, just receive my praise as I focus my thoughts only on you. Iâm listening and anticipating as I read and meditate on your beautiful Word. In Jesusâ name, Amen.

@PrDr I want to thank you personally for helping me find this meditation. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now and I feel much better. I have been using the meditation that is in my journal entry. I have been taking 15 minutes a day to meditate and focus on my breathing and praying a simple prayer. I know that you are not a Christian but I meditate and pray for you and everyone here. Again I want to thank you brother.

It is like a warm feeling coming over you that feels like you are on the presence of a Holy God. When I prayer meditate my body feels free of all guilt and shame. Even though I feel unworthy to meditate to Christ. My life has changed because of this prayer meditation, because I feel so closer to God. Now I know that I am not perfect but I am trying to be. Believe my friends this helps clear my mind and soul of all filthiness that has plagued me for a long time. Just take your time and emerse yourself in the love of the Lord. Well I just want to say one thing @user1234567890 you are blessing to me because I have a friend in this world that I can talk to and just keep building myself up.

Hello everyone it me. In this journal I will now write what stage I am in. So as you can see I am at Stage 2. I am supposed to now be control my emotions at this stage. I was just wondering today if I fail now I would not be where I am today. I donât want to go back to zero, do you? I have been praying all day for comfort and peace from the Lord. I am on day 94 but I feel like I am on day 27 or 30. Well if I think that then I am okay I guess. I need to be more controlling over my emotions or my emotions will control me. I am still trying to overcome the issue of controlling my emotions. As I write this my emotions are haywire at the moment so I must learn to control my emotions. I have taken the time to prayer meditate today and this helped some but I still canât seem to get my emotions under control.
I am contemplating on what to do with these strange emotions and that seem to not aligned with what I feel. Emotions must be aligned with your self worth. So to understand this correctly I must test each emotional energy and align them the right way. I must have the ability to set aside the different emotions that do not align with me. I know that I am not a robot but I must have the ability to be one with ones self. I know also that I canât be God either because I am not perfect. As it seems I must have faith in Jesus Christ to set my emotions in the respected spots. Now I have these thoughts here now, I just want everyone to know that I love yâall as a brother or sister in Christ.
Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Father in Heaven,
I pray that I set my emotions in order and I that I will always trust you each and every day. Father I pray that you will help me to test each emotion whether they be from you or the devil. I ask that you will guide me every step of the way. Lord I pray that you will guide me to your light each and every day. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Hello everyone it me, I had a nightmare last night and right now it scares me. Tonight I will tell you what I saw in my dream. I was walking on a dark secluded road that leads to nowhere. It was so dark that I couldnât see what was in front of me. I smelt something like burning sulfur. There were screams of help in this dark secluded place. Then I began to see the place were I was, everything was on fire. Worms were coming out of these people. It was like they were being tortured over and over again. They were giving in to there selfless pleasure that helped them be relieved. But it only lasted just a few seconds. Now as I was walking through this place, something big come out of the blue. It looked at me with firing eyes and said, âwhat are doing here?â I just wanted to run but my legs were frozen it seems. Then as the creature kept staring at me it finally called for some of itâs demons to torture me. The demons could not harm me because I wasnât dead yet. Then I yelled the name this creature did not like âJesus save me!â As I was speaking this creature backed away from me. So I started walking along the dark secluded road just a little further and this mountain view came into focus. (Now I donât know if you have seen any movie with a bridge of rocks) but that is what I was looking at. But below this bridge was an abyss that led to hell. I was scared to walk across but I seen a faint light across the bridge. As I working my way across the bridge I then awoke out of my sleep.
So as you see my friend this dream has disturbed me and I am scared. I know that I shouldnât let dreams affect me but this one has. I want to be strong and courageous and not be a weak and foreboding person. I want to set my priorities straight and control my emotions the best that I can. I am still trying to process what was going on in this dream. Maybe tonight I will have my answer. Right now I am scared. I have been praying all day for an answer from the Lord. So this is the only thing I could think of to write my thoughts and dreams here.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that I be strong and not give up hope. I pray that I will be a light to everyone in this forum. Lord I want to be showered by your love. Open my heart Lord to the truth and help me stay strong for this community of people in this forum. I am still praying Lord for an answer to this dream. Lord I love you with all of my heart. Lord be the light of my life. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Hello everyone I just want to say from the start I am sorry for missing 2 days. I want thank @ejuile for talking to me today. This is the first time I have heard a girl had the same struggles as us men. Oh and for I forgot @user1234567890 thanks for the Bible verse it really encouraged me. God has told me in his scripture that I created you for a purpose. Romans 8:28 KJV And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
So you see my friends, I have been praying for all of this for the past 2 days. Again I am sorry I missed 2 days. I will now do things that God wants me to do. I am finally getting comfortable talking to strangers, the nervousness is still there just a little though. If you really want to know about my day I will leave a link here.
Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that I will be strong in you Oâ Lord. Lord I am praising you because I have found a friend on this forum. Lord I pray that she will be blessed with your love. Lord guide me in the direction you want me to go. God I pray that you remove all temptations from my mind and help me to be free. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Hello everyone how is everyone doing tonight? Me I guess I am doing okay. I just want to tell you what I am thinking about so here it goes. Well I have been thinking that if I made the mistake tonight I would have to start all over again. I donât want to make the mistake because I donât want to start back over at zero. So to calm myself down I remembered what Jesus said in Matthew 5:8,9 (KJV) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. I want to be pure when I meet Jesus one day. However I may think I will not relapse, I will be strong in the Lord. (Upon further consideration I place my hope in Jesus). I will take the time every day to prayer meditate and get my focus back to reality.
Exactly 2 hours from now which is from 8:00 pm I will be in bed asleep. I still struggle with the battle but I place my hope in Jesus. I read in the Bible that Jesus said this to Peter, âGet thee behind me satan for you know not the things of God.â So you see my friends we must rebuke satan and break this chain of sin. I know that I am not perfect, but one day I will be free from all sorrows and pain.
Proverbs 13:4 (KJV) The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that I remain strong in you. Lord I thank you for @user1234567890 for being a friend to me on this side of eternity. Lord be my guiding light in dark places. Lord I pray for comfort and stability in my life. Lord I ask in the name of Jesus that you remove satan and his demonic possession of fantasy from my mind and soul. Father I thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. Thank you Jesus for walking with me and talking with me. Father I pray for the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.
God bless yâall and donât give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Hello everyone, how is everyone doing tonight? Me, I am okay I guess. Thank God for another day. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, I will tell you what I am thinking about today. I was thinking about things in the future, what my life would be like with my faith stronger in the Lord. I would be the witness that God has been looking for. I was also thinking that if those that have relapse would also find hope in Christ. I will also think that I would like to create a challenge for those that have relapsed. But I donât know if they will accept this or not. I want to remain strong in my conviction and be strong for those that have relapsed. Come as it may I need to rethink my possiblityâs and pray about this. I want to be a cheerful giver for my Lord Jesus Christ.
Now on a personal note I havenât relapsed and I havenât thought about my condition for the past 3 to 4 weeks now. My condition will always be here, but this can be overcome by the blood of Jesus Christ. Exactly now I have been thinking why not do this and place my hope in Jesus. Well thatâs all for now. God bless yâall.

Hello everyone, how is everything going today? Well I made it to 100 days, and I am so proud of myself. I have only 81 days left until Stage 2 is complete. I am going to make this happen where I beat my previous streak of 174 days. Now I have been talking to @Knight_Rider and he is leaving us coming in December. I will be missing him terribly.
Gratitude
Gratitude - The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Bible verse of Gratitude
I Chronicles 16:8 KJV
âGive thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peopleâ
Philippians 4:6 KJV
âDo not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to Godâ
Psalm 9:1 KJV
âI will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deedsâ
Psalm 100:4 KJV

Psalm 107:1 KJV
âOh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!â
Psalm 92:1 KJV
âIt is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most Highâ
I Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
âIn every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning youâ
Psalm 28:7 KJV
âThe LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise himâ
So as you see my friends we must show gratitude to those that have relapsed. I will to the best of my ability to comfort those that need it. I will offer whatever assistants they need and help them get back to reality. We all must be washed in the blood of Jesus.
7 Day Mini Challenge
Now about my mini challenge I will create, I am talking to Abhishek_V to find out what task they would like to do. I will also add a points system to each task they do each day. Now the points system will also affect whether or not they relapse. I am going to effect a rule system for each task. I donât know right now whether or not to create this or not. I will also create a leaderboard for those that want to join.
Numbers 6:24-26 (KJV) The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Dear Lord, I am thankful for the peace that you have given me.Thank you for the calm that I find in your presence, for the stillness that comes when I pray, and for the rest that I receive in your arms. I am grateful for the moments of quietness that you bring, for the times of solitude that you provide, and for the opportunities to reflect on your goodness. May I always seek your peace and may I never lose sight of your love.
In Jesusâ name, we pray. Amen.
