Should I just pray harder?

Hey L,

I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend and are ready for the upcoming Summer months.

That being said, as we wrap up May and our focus on bad teachings, I thought I'd share with you one last pet peeve this month that I have often run up against in the Christian world when it comes to the proposed solution for one's porn addiction or other unwanted sexual behaviors.

Just pray harder.

I can't tell you the number of times I've heard men after a slip-up or relapse saying something like, "If I only had prayed more..." while bemoaning their poor decision.

And while I don't dispute the value or need for prayer at all, the reality is, in most cases the reason someone relapses is something more than the quality of their prayer life.

Yes, we need God.
Yes, we need to pray.

But prayer alone is (usually) not going to help you defeat your addictive behaviors.

In fact, that's the topic of today's post so make sure you check it out here and let us know what you think in the comments!
