NoFap Streak: 70 Days

Scripture Reflection:

Matthew 5:4, 11-12 (KJV) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Reflection:

Todayโ€™s scripture reminds me that when we mourn for a loved one God will comfort us in our time of sorrow. Sinners of this world sometimes will not accept the truth and persecute those that have known the the truth. Rejoice and be glad for those that persecute you bec your reward is in heaven. Some of these sinners have already persecuted others before we even talk to them about Jesus.

NoFap Reflection:

Today has been a sad day for me. I heard about my friend and was going to welcome him home. I missed him overseas, now I will miss him until I get to eternity. My NoFap Streak is adding more days and the numbers are getting larger by the day. As each day goes by the more I see my life getting back to normal. Today is the day that I have reached day 70 and I only like 20 more days to day 90. Thank you everyone for encouraging me in my journey to be free from this addiction. God bless yโ€™all and donโ€™t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that our Redeemer lives.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father I pray that you have received my friend with open arms. Father I pray that one day I will live out his legacy in my life. Father I love you with all my heart and soul. Thank Jesus for dieing on the cross for my sins. Help me Lord every day to remove these impure thoughts and fantasies from my mind. Help me Lord to separate myself from those that do not speak the truth. I ask this in the name of Jesus, AMEN.

Your Brother in Christ,


Samuel

NoFap Streak: 71 Days


Scripture Reflection

Romans 15:5-6 (KJV)
โ€œNow the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.โ€

Reflection:

As I reflect on the scripture today, Iโ€™m reminded of the importance of patience and unity in both my faith and my journey. The God of patience grants me the strength to stay true to my purpose and glorify Him, even when challenges arise. Itโ€™s been 71 days since I committed to this path, and though there have been difficult moments, Iโ€™ve learned the value of perseverance and patience. This journey is not just about breaking free from old habits, but about aligning my actions with a higher purpose, staying true to the principles of self-control, and glorifying God in all that I do.


NoFap Reflection

Today was another productive day. I woke up at 4 am and got right into studying by 4:30. Itโ€™s become my new habit to start the day with focus, and Iโ€™m finding that the mornings set the tone for the rest of the day. After my study session, I spent about an hour working out with my app. It feels good to see physical progress alongside my mental growth. I then took a warm bath to refresh before settling down and relaxing until 12:30 pm.

Around 1 pm, I dug a hole for a whileโ€”just a simple task, but it helped me clear my head and stay grounded. After a couple of hours of unwinding with Ace Ventura, I got back to work from 4:30 pm to 6:45 pm, hanging drywall. The physical labor is hard, but rewarding. When I came home, I took time to rest and recharge before my bedtime at 9:52 pm. Itโ€™s amazing how much I can accomplish when I stay disciplined and intentional with my time.

Food Today:

  • Dinner: Pork and beans, hominy, 2 weenies, 2 slices of bread
  • Supper: Hamburger and fries

Final Thoughts:

71 days in and I can feel the transformation happening, both in my body and mind. The clarity Iโ€™ve gained has been life-changing, and Iโ€™m excited to see where this road takes me. One day at a time, one step at a time, still I rise.

Letโ€™s keep pushing forward, brothers. Weโ€™re stronger than we think.


Closing Prayer
Lord,
Thank You for giving me the strength to keep going, even when it feels tough. Iโ€™m grateful for Your patience, Your wisdom, and the clarity You bring into my life. Help me to continue walking this path with perseverance, discipline, and a heart full of gratitude. May my actions glorify You, and may I always stay rooted in faith as I rise above the challenges ahead. In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.


Your Brother in Christ,


Samuel

NoFap Streak: 72 Days

Scripture Reflection:

Obadiah 1:15 (KJV) For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

Reflection from Scripture:

This verse from Obadiah reminds me of the principle of sowing and reaping. Itโ€™s a powerful reminder that our actions have consequences, not just for others, but for ourselves. It encourages me to be mindful of my choices and to strive to act in a way that aligns with Godโ€™s will, knowing that what I put out into the world will eventually return to me. It also speaks to the justice of God, assuring us that ultimately, all will be held accountable for their actions.

NoFap Reflection:

Today began early, with study from the Bible at 4:30 am after waking at 4:00 am. My workout followed at 5:30 am using my phone app, and a warm bath at 6:00 am provided a refreshing start to the day. The mid-morning and afternoon were spent relaxing, including watching โ€œAce Ventura Jr.โ€ from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. I then shifted gears and worked hanging drywall from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. After arriving home at 6:45 pm, the evening was dedicated to relaxation before my 9:52 pm bedtime.

My NoFap journey continues to be a source of strength for me. Each day I feel myself growing stronger, not just in my resolve to abstain, but also in my relationship with God. Iโ€™m learning to rely on Him more and more, and Iโ€™m seeing positive changes in other areas of my life as a result. The challenges are still there, but with prayer and perseverance, I am confident in my ability to overcome them. I am grateful for the progress Iโ€™ve made and excited to see what the future holds.

Closing Prayer:

Lord, thank you for your continued guidance and strength on this NoFap journey. Thank you for the reminder in Obadiah that my actions matter, and that what I sow, I will reap. Help me to be mindful of my choices and to always strive to act in accordance with your will. I am grateful for the progress I have made, and I ask for your continued support as I face the challenges ahead. Help me to rely on you more and more each day, and to find my strength in you. In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

NoFap Streak: 73 Days

Scripture:

Isaiah 41:10 (KJV): โ€œFear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.โ€

Scripture Reflection:

This verse resonates deeply today. The discipline of NoFap is a battle against a powerful internal enemy โ€“ temptation. Itโ€™s easy to feel overwhelmed, to doubt my strength. But this verse reminds me that I am not alone. God is with me, strengthening me, upholding me every step of the way. This knowledge fills me with courage and renewed determination.

NoFap Reflection:

Today dawned with a sense of purpose. I woke with a renewed vigor, rising at 4:00 AM to seize the day. My early morning routine โ€“ study at 4:30 AM followed by a brisk workout at 5:30 AM โ€“ set the tone for a productive day. The refreshing bath at 6:00 AM further invigorated my mind and body.
While the afternoon was spent enjoying a movie โ€“ โ€œAgent Cody Banksโ€ โ€“ I felt a sense of contentment rather than the restlessness that often accompanies idle time. This newfound peace is a direct result of my NoFap journey. My mind is clearer, my focus sharper.
The evening was dedicated to a productive task โ€“ mudding the drywall. I approached this work with a newfound sense of discipline and focus, a testament to the growing self-control Iโ€™m cultivating through NoFap.

As I reflect on my journey, I am filled with gratitude. 73 days of freedom โ€“ a significant milestone. The strength Iโ€™m gaining is palpable. I am becoming more confident, more resilient, more in control of my thoughts and actions. This journey is not just about abstaining from a particular behavior; itโ€™s about cultivating a stronger, more virtuous self.

Closing Prayer:

Lord, I thank you for your unwavering support on this journey. Thank you for the strength you provide, the guidance you offer, and the peace that fills my heart. Help me to remain vigilant, to resist temptation, and to continue to grow in self-mastery. May this journey be a testament to your grace and a source of inspiration for others. Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

NoFap Streak: 74 Days

Scripture Reflection:

Matthew 16:17 (KJV)
โ€œAnd Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.โ€

Reflection from Scripture:

In this verse, Jesus is acknowledging the revelation of truth that Peter received. It wasnโ€™t through human understanding or strength but through divine insight from God the Father. In our journey, especially with NoFap, it is easy to rely on our own strength to overcome temptations. But just like Peter, we must recognize that our true strength comes from God. Our willpower can falter, but divine support is constant. When facing challenges, like the one I faced today, we can find peace in knowing that Godโ€™s strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). It is through His guidance and strength that we can move forward.

NoFap Reflection:

Today has been a real struggle. There were moments when I felt so weak, almost ready to give up on this journey. The urge was strong, and I wasnโ€™t sure if I could push through. However, I turned to prayer and supplication, as Iโ€™ve done before, and in those moments, I felt Godโ€™s peace and strength carrying me. Even though I felt vulnerable, I realize that my perseverance isnโ€™t solely on my own strength but through the grace of God. Itโ€™s a reminder that I donโ€™t have to rely on myself aloneโ€”God is with me, empowering me to continue. Iโ€™m grateful for His support, and Iโ€™m determined to press on.

Closing Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being my strength and refuge. On days when I feel weak, You remind me that Your grace is sufficient. I ask that You continue to guide me in my NoFap journey, helping me to remain steadfast in overcoming temptation. Strengthen my resolve and keep me close to You. Please grant me wisdom, peace, and patience as I continue on this path. May I always remember that I am not alone in this journey, for You are with me, giving me the strength to endure.
In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.


Keep going strong. Your progress matters, and the journey is one of growth, both spiritually and personally. Keep your focus on the strength that comes from God, and trust in His continued support.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

NoFap Streak: 75 Days

Scripture Reflection:

Revelation 4:8 (KJV)
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Reflection from Scripture:

This verse speaks to the unceasing worship and praise that emanates from Godโ€™s throne. It reminds me that Godโ€™s presence is not only constant but also eternalโ€”He was, is, and is to come. In my own NoFap journey, I see a reflection of this eternal truth. Just as the creatures in heaven continually worship God, my commitment to this journey is a daily act of discipline and devotion, praising God with my actions and choices. Itโ€™s a call to not grow weary, no matter how mundane or routine the day may seem. There is sanctity in persistence, and the Lord is with me in every moment of that persistence.

NoFap Reflection:

Today was a good day. I didnโ€™t experience any major urges, and it was mostly a day of rest. I spent the day watching Anaconda 2, Anaconda 3, and Anaconda 4. It was an interesting break from the usual routine. As I watched these films, I was able to relax and reflect on my journey. I didnโ€™t feel the pull to fall back into old habits, and Iโ€™m grateful for that. Watching movies was a reminder of the progress Iโ€™ve made, as I can now enjoy entertainment without it leading to distractions or temptations. Iโ€™m thankful for the strength God has provided, helping me stay focused and at peace during these 75 days.

Closing Prayer:

Lord,
Thank You for the strength Youโ€™ve given me throughout these 75 days. I praise You for being constant and faithful, just as You are in Your eternal reign. Help me to continue walking this path of purity with Your guidance and grace. May I seek Your presence in every moment and find peace in the journey ahead. Continue to transform my heart and mind to reflect Your holiness.
In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.

NoFap Streak: 76 Days

Scripture Reflection:

James 1:17 (KJV) โ€“ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Reflection from Scripture:

This verse brings me a deep sense of gratitude as I reflect on the blessings of my journey. Every day of sobriety, every victory over temptation, and every step forward in my NoFap streak is a good gift from God. The temptation to return to old habits is a shadow that fades in the light of His truth and grace. He does not change, and neither does His desire for me to walk in freedom. His perfect gifts are constant, and today, I see this streak as one of those gifts. What a blessing it is to feel strengthened by Him, knowing that He is with me every step of the way.

NoFap Reflection:

Today was an interesting day. After spending a good portion of the morning watching Apocalypse 2, 3, and 4 until 3:30 PM, I found myself feeling a bit mentally drained, but at peace. Then, at 4:30 PM, I joined in helping cut up a tree for someoneโ€™s fireplace, and that physical labor was a refreshing change. The contrast between mental exhaustion and physical exertion was a great reset for me.

As for my NoFap journey today, it was smooth sailing. I didnโ€™t experience any strong urges or temptations. Iโ€™m feeling like Iโ€™ve regained a sense of youth and vitality that I hadnโ€™t felt in a while, especially after breaking my previous streak back in November. Now, with 76 days under my belt, Iโ€™m so close to 90 days. Just 14 days left! That number keeps me motivated, and I am genuinely praising the Lord for His strength and guidance along the way. I know He is the one giving me the ability to maintain this streak, and itโ€™s an exciting, humbling thing to experience.

Closing Prayer:

Lord,
Thank You for the strength and perseverance Youโ€™ve given me in this journey. I am grateful for every good and perfect gift You have provided, especially the gift of self-control, clarity, and peace. I thank You for the 76 days of freedom from temptation and the victory over old habits. Please continue to guide my path, protect my mind and heart, and give me the wisdom to stay focused on Your will. Help me reach the 90-day milestone and beyond, but more importantly, help me stay grounded in Your love and purpose. I trust You to lead me through this journey, and I surrender all my struggles and victories to You.
In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.

NoFap Streak: 77 Days

Scripture Reflection:

Exodus 20:11 (KJV)
โ€œFor in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.โ€

Reflection from Scripture:

As I reflect on todayโ€™s scripture, I canโ€™t help but think about the importance of rest. In a world that is constantly pushing us to work, to strive, and to hustle, itโ€™s a reminder that even God, in His infinite power, set aside a day to rest. The seventh day wasnโ€™t just a pause in creation; it was a deliberate act of renewal.

NoFap Reflection:

In my own journey, Iโ€™ve realized that rest isnโ€™t just about the absence of activity, but about renewal in body, mind, and spirit. Today, I allowed myself that space. I watched some moviesโ€”Moana, Are We There Yet, and Are We Done Yetโ€”a little light-hearted fun to unwind. It wasnโ€™t about escaping my journey or distractions; it was about allowing my mind and heart to take a breath, much like God did on the Sabbath.

The journey of NoFap has been a path of discipline, but itโ€™s also one of introspection and growth. Thereโ€™s no rush to โ€œfinishโ€ this process; itโ€™s about learning balance, building strength, and ultimately becoming more connected with Godโ€™s plan for me. At 77 days, I feel Iโ€™m making progress, but itโ€™s not just about counting the days. Itโ€™s about making each day count. No major urges today, and I am grateful for that.

Iโ€™m also thankful for the 13 days left to hit 90 daysโ€”itโ€™s a reminder that this is a journey with a beginning and an end, but the lessons and growth go on forever.

Itโ€™s interesting how rest is often misunderstood as inactivity, but true rest doesnโ€™t mean doing nothingโ€”it means being intentional about replenishing your energy and renewing your mind. Today, I didnโ€™t rush, I didnโ€™t push myself. I simply was. In many ways, thatโ€™s what my NoFap journey has becomeโ€”learning to be content, to pause when needed, to let go of the urges and cravings that once ruled my thoughts.

Today was another win. No major urges, just peace. Iโ€™m thankful to God for His blessings and guidance. As I approach 90 days, Iโ€™m not focused solely on the finish line but on what Iโ€™ve learned along the wayโ€”strength, discipline, and the ability to rest in His grace.

Closing Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for today, for the gift of rest and reflection. As Iโ€™ve reached 77 days, I praise You for Your strength in my life, for guiding me, and for helping me through the ups and downs of this journey. I ask for continued wisdom and perseverance as I approach the finish line of 90 days. May I not lose sight of the lessons Youโ€™ve taught me, and may I continue to grow in discipline, peace, and faith.
Thank You for the Sabbath, for the opportunity to rest, and for the reminder that You are always with me, helping me to navigate this journey. I trust in Your plan for my life, and I give You all the glory and praise.
In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

You raise a fantastic point about introspection. Itโ€™s through experiences that we get to learn more about what we truly feel is good for us, just like we would for others. I must rest more like you said. True rest, as my grandmother always taught me. Im sure that it will help me massively. We can do this man. Well done.

NoFap Streak: Living One Day at a Time by Faith

Scripture:

Romans 8:15 (KJV)
โ€œFor ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.โ€

Scripture Reflection:

This verse is a powerful reminder that in Christ, we are no longer slaves to sin or fear. We are children of God, adopted into His family, and given the freedom to call Him our Father. When temptation arises, it is not a chain that binds us; rather, it is an opportunity to turn to the One who has already broken our chains. In our struggles, we are not alone. We have a Father who hears us, strengthens us, and reminds us that we are victorious in Him.

NoFap Reflection

Early this morning, at around 2 AM, the battle against my urges arose once again. But instead of giving in, I turned to God in prayer. And just like a loving Father who never turns His ear away, He heard me. I went back to sleep and woke up again at 4 AM, feeling renewed.

As of right now, Iโ€™ve decided to take my streak count off the journal. No more counting daysโ€”only making each day count. This journey is no longer about numbers; itโ€™s about growth, about drawing closer to God, about becoming the man He has called me to be.

As I approach the closing of this journal on February 8th, I reflect on how far God has brought me. Today was a day of simple joysโ€”I watched Armageddon and At Jesusโ€™ Side in the afternoon, then worked on sanding down drywall to prepare for painting. Later in the evening, I watched Back to the Future Part 1.

Through it all, I remain grateful. Every moment, every battle, and every victory belong to God. Today was a good day, and I praise Him for it.

Recently, I have been trying something newโ€”drinking Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey. Itโ€™s been a month and a half now, and I make each bottle last at least two weeks. Maybe itโ€™s a small thing, but little discipline adds up. Just as I take care of my body, I must take care of my mind and spirit as well.

This journey is not just about saying no to temptation but about saying yes to a new way of life.

Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for walking with me on this journey. When temptation comes, You remind me that I am no longer a slave to sinโ€”I am Your child, free and redeemed. Thank You for the strength You give me to persevere, for the grace that covers me, and for the love that sustains me.

Help me to make each day count, not by my strength but by Yours. Guide my heart, my thoughts, and my actions so that I may glorify You in all that I do. Continue to mold me into the man You have created me to be.

In Jesusโ€™ name, I pray,
Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

Very glad for you that you are living feeling content. It is a wonderful place to be. I was exactly the same on Sunday when I went out for an absolutely beautiful walk. I am so lucky to have seen 3 herons fly overhead (very unusual for my part of the world) in the sheep field which I was in. Absolutely beautiful. My mind felt rested.

NoFap Streak: Living One Day at a Time by Faith

Scripture

Ephesians 4:16 (KJV)
โ€œFrom whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.โ€

Scripture Reflection:

This verse reminds me that every part of my journey, no matter how small, is shaping me into who God wants me to be. Just as each joint in the body serves a purpose, my struggles and victories in NoFap contribute to my growth. I am not fighting aloneโ€”I am part of something greater, a body of believers striving for purity. As I stay committed, God is refining me, strengthening me, and teaching me to walk in love and discipline.

NoFap Reflection:

Today was a simple day, but even in simplicity, I find progress. I spent much of my time watching Back to the Future, reliving the adventures of Marty McFly. Itโ€™s funny how time-travel stories make me reflect on my own pastโ€”who I was before starting this journey and who I am becoming.

Later in the day, I got some work done, mudding more drywall. It felt good to be productive, to build something tangible, just like how I am building myself up spiritually. Each action, whether big or small, contributes to my transformation.

On this NoFap journey, today was a victory. I praise God for bringing me this far. Confidence is growing within me, but I remind myself to stay humble. Overconfidence can be a trap, making me forget that my strength comes not from myself but from God. Every day is a step forward, and I choose to walk it by faith.

Closing Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for another day of victory, for guiding me through each moment with Your wisdom and strength. I praise You for the transformation taking place in my heart and mind. Keep me humble, Lord, and remind me that my confidence should always be in You, not in myself. When temptation comes, help me stand firm, clothed in the armor of Your Word.

May I continue to grow in purity, discipline, and love, edifying not only myself but those around me. I surrender this journey to You, trusting that You will carry me through every trial and triumph.

In Jesusโ€™ name,
Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel

NoFap Streak: Living One Day at a Time by Faith

Scripture:

Numbers 32:23 (KJV) But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

Scripture Reflection:

This verse serves as a powerful reminder of accountability. Itโ€™s not just about the big, obvious sins, but also the subtle choices we make in private. โ€œBe sure your sin will find you outโ€ isnโ€™t necessarily about public exposure, but about the internal consequences โ€“ the erosion of our peace, the fracturing of our self-respect, the distance it creates between us and God. For me, on this NoFap journey, it speaks to the importance of honesty with myself. No hiding, no rationalizing, just acknowledging the struggle and bringing it into the light of Godโ€™s grace. Itโ€™s a call to integrity, reminding me that even when no one else is watching, my actions have weight and consequence.

NoFap Reflection:

Today feltโ€ฆordinary. A day filled with the mundane: movies (Back to the Future Part 3 and Bait), drywall sanding, even the gentle nostalgia of Bambi. Thereโ€™s a strange comfort in the ordinary, isnโ€™t there? Itโ€™s in these moments, when life isnโ€™t particularly dramatic or challenging, that the real test of discipline lies. Itโ€™s easy to be strong in the face of temptation when the pressure is on, but what about when things are justโ€ฆnormal? Thatโ€™s where I found myself today. Just existing, going through the motions, and yet, the undercurrent of temptation was still there. A quiet hum, a subtle pull.
Iโ€™m grateful for another day won. I genuinely am. But I also recognize the battle isnโ€™t over. Itโ€™s never over. My emotions, as I mentioned, are a bit of a rollercoaster. Joy, frustration, contentment, and then, that flicker of desire. Learning to manage these fluctuating feelings, to acknowledge them without giving them power, is the core of this journey. Itโ€™s about recognizing that my feelings are not my master. They are visitors, passing through. I can acknowledge their presence without letting them dictate my actions.
The verse from Numbers resonates deeply. My โ€œsinโ€ in this context isnโ€™t just about the physical act, but about the internal struggle, the battle for my mind. Itโ€™s about the small compromises, the justifications, the moments where I almost give in. These are the โ€œsinsโ€ that will find me out โ€“ not in some grand, theatrical way, but in the quiet erosion of my spirit.

Closing Prayer:

Lord, thank you for another day. Thank you for the ordinary moments, the simple joys, and even the subtle temptations. Help me to be honest with myself, to acknowledge the struggles within, and to bring them into the light of your grace. Strengthen my resolve, Lord. Help me to see my emotions not as enemies, but as indicators, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of myself. Give me the wisdom to discern between fleeting feelings and lasting values. And grant me the peace that comes from knowing I am walking in your path, one day at a time. Amen.

Your Brother in Christ,

Samuel
