90 Days to Wholeness: A Porn Addiction Recovery Devotional for Womenಮಾದರಿ

One of the definitive reasons why women who struggle with pornography and sexual addiction stay silent is fear and shame. It doesn’t require a rocket scientist to figure out why. It is just plain scary to reveal in Christian circles that we as women struggle in this way. We believe we’re the only one and that something must be wrong with us. So instead, we fight it on our own—and fail. Which only perpetuates the fear and shame. 

Sexual sin and immorality is mentioned throughout scripture more than 14 times and all of which are in the context of fleeing or avoiding it. Knowing how God feels about sexual sin, if you were to confess your struggle to others, do you really think that He would leave you more broken? So, what is there to fear? I’ve said repeatedly now that surrender and confession are closely tied and it’s because we have to trust that God will go before us in our confession to others.

What do you have to gain by confessing your struggle to someone else? What do you have to lose? If you’re being honest, do the gains outweigh the losses?
