Former porn star-turned-christian, Brittni De La Mora has taken to a post on her Blog to pen down tips and prayers for overcoming pornography addiction.
“This is such a taboo addiction simply because it is glorified in the world and not spoken about enough in the Church” Brittni shares, “Whether you’re a male or female, if you are addicted to porn, you are not alone. The Adult Industry is a multibillion dollar industry for a reason” She Added
“However, I don’t believe you came here for statistics. I believe you came here for help. As many of you know, I am a former Adult Star. I got into the industry at the age of 18. I did not have very much time to develop a porn addiction because I went straight into filming it
However, what I have learned is that like any addiction pornography is an escape. It is an escape from boredom and an escape from pain. Addiction can bring forth an external euphoria that makes one forget about their internal trauma. Have you ever been heartbroken? Have you ever been rejected? Have you ever felt unloved or unlovable? Has it been challenging for you to truly forgive and let go of the pain that person has caused you? Because often a broken heart is most susceptible to an addiction.”
“Pornography will not cure a heartache, only Jesus can do that” Brittni stated as she encourages those struggling with it.
She went further saying; “If you are serious and would truly like help overcoming this addiction I would like for you to boldly pray this prayer,
“Father, I am powerless over this addiction, but you are not. I ask that you would forgive me of my sins and heal my broken heart. Right now, I forgive all whom have hurt me. Jesus, I make you my Lord and Savior and I pray that you would transform me and restore my purity and innocence to me. I command the spirit of addiction and lust to leave my life now in Jesus name. Lord I thank you because 2 Corinthians 5:17 calls me a new creation in Christ. The old has passed away and the new has come for me. I am a new creation. I am not a product of my past nor my mistakes. In Jesus name, Amen.”
“If you prayed this prayer I would like to encourage you to take a few more steps so that you can walk in the victory that Christ has given you.
