Faith for Prayer
I have a porn addiction problem. I've seen some techniques to help control addictive behavior but I think that's not enough. I grew up in a christian home all my life but at the time I'm no where near God. The problem is I think I have lost faith in God. I want to have faith in him, but don't know how. When I pray it's as if I pray with disbelief.
James tells us that the man who asks God for something, but doubts that he'll receive it, will not receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does (Jam 1:5–8).
By contrast Jesus said, 'Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mar 11:24).'
It all comes down to faith. But how do I regain faith if I don't have it to begin with? How do I ask God to give me faith if I'm praying without faith? Will he hear? Will he answer? It seems all my past attempts have
been in vain.
