Practical help

It seems too easy to be mastered by the "innocent peek," "quick feel good" or perceived anonymity of web porn. And before you know it, you're enslaved. But there's a way out. God has not given up on us. According to Ezra 9:9 (New International Version*):
Though we are slaves, our God has not deserted us in our bondage.

Turn to Him, and He will offer you freedom from your bondage.
