Helpful hints

The writer of this passage says there are consequences to our actions, and that we may need help from others to deal with the resulting harm.

Many people entrapped by web porn fear they can't escape on their own and will need to ask for help.

Take the time, right now, to ask God for help. The pit may be too deep to get out of on your own, but God will provide the assistance you need. Ask God to give you strength to say No to web porn, ask Him to provide you with a friend or friends to whom you can turn for help, and ask Him for courage to approach others and truthfully tell them the problem you have. The good news is that God will provide you with what you need.
