i used to be bound with the sin of masurbation and i was so ashamed and disgusted of myself, but i was a slave to it. i always kept it a secret because i thought i was a freak for being a girl who mastrubates, i thought it was just a guy thing and everyone would think i wasdisgusting. So i kept it to myself for years and it has been so hard. i felt like such a hypocrite saying that i was a christian, which i was and and am, i believe in Jesus Christ with all my heart, i know he is there and i would give my life for him, but i was a slave to lust. but then today happened, i swear today has been the biggest blessing ever. i went to youth group with a friend and todays youth group was different because some people from a church in Ft. myers came to do a skit and preach and do testimonies, and one of the guys had a testimony about how he was bound with masturbation and i just broke down into tears. I begged God to forgive me and then a girl from that church came to me and offered to pray for me, so i told her why i was crying and she prayed and i swear right at that moment i knew i was free, i felt Gods presence and i just knew!=] after she finished praying she said she dealed with that too and had friends who dealed with that, but she was freed through God, just like i am now. My friend had been praying with another person also and she was crying too, so she came to me and confessed that she had a masturbation problem and i yelled "omg me too!!!" and i gave her a hug and we ccried and talked about how great it is that we were finally free, i couldnt believe that one of my friends had been going through the same thing i was. It was so unbelievable, like i said before this day has just been such a blessing. And to all the girls out there reading this right now who have a masturbation problem, just know that your not a freak and your not the only one who has to face it. God can free you from it, just like he freed me =]. and the same thing goes to guys, he can free you. Im telling you man, God is so amazing, he never stops suprising me. I love him so much and i thank him for blessing me with salvation. Thanks for reading this and i just needed to get this out there =].

Your testimony is awesome. I had a problem that I struggled a lot with, only my problem was anger. I know it's not a sin to be angry, it's just that everytime I got angry about someone or something, I didn't act like myself. I would want to hurt things and people, it made me feel awful. One day, I was really angry at someone and a situation that person had caused. I got so angry that I felt that I was out of control. It really scared me, and that's when I realized that I couldn't do it by myself. So I prayed, "God, help me with my anger!!"
And then, I felt a tingle in my head, and then the anger was gone. All of it. When I think of that situation now, I don't get angry anymore.
And it's been awesome ever since. biggrin
