I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with this. Ellen White's writings address the struggle with sensual indulgence and habits that are difficult to break, such as pornography or similar vices. Here are some key points and practical counsel from her books: 1. Recognize the Seriousness and Seek Reform: - "With a firm purpose they must resist Satan's temptations to indulge the animal passions, because it is sin against God. They should not venture on forbidden ground, where Satan can claim control over them. If they in humility entreat God for purity of thought, and a refined and sanctified imagination, he will hear them, and grant their petitions. God has not left them to perish in their sins, but will help the weak and helpless, if they cast themselves in faith upon him." (ApM 22.2; SA 68.2) 2. Avoid Triggers and Cultivate Pure Thoughts: - "Avoid reading and seeing things which will suggest impure thoughts. Cultivate the moral and intellectual powers. Let not these noble powers become enfeebled and perverted by much reading of even storybooks." (2T 410.1) 3. Understand Recovery Takes Time: - "None should be discouraged if they perceive no decided improvement in their health after the habit has been broken off for quite a length of time. If nature's laws have not been too long abused, she will carry on her restoring process, although it may not be immediately realized." (ApM 22.2; SA 68.2) 4. Seek Spiritual Help and Accountability: - "God has not left them to perish in their sins, but will help the weak and helpless, if they cast themselves in faith upon him." (ApM 22.2; SA 68.2) 5. Replace the Habit with Uplifting Activities: - "If the mind were educated to contemplate elevating subjects, the imagination trained to reflect upon pure and holy things, it would be fortified against this terrible, debasing, soul-and-body-destroying indulgence." (2T 470.1) In summary, Ellen White encourages you to: - Pray earnestly for purity and strength. - Avoid anything that triggers impure thoughts. - Fill your mind with uplifting, spiritual, and wholesome things. - Be patient with yourself—recovery is a process. - Seek support from God and, if possible, from trusted individuals. If you would like more specific steps or encouragement from her writings, please let me know. You're not alone in this struggle, and there is hope for victory. References: - White, E. G. (1870).
