Hello,
During a time at my previous church, I fell into sexual immorality after being pure for about a year and a half. The immorality involved falling away from my chastity with my own body and looking at pornography. During this time, I also began to experience "soul ties"--deep emotional connections--with my pastor, his wife, and his daughter. I suspect that Satan used my sin as a way to form these unhealthy and dependent relationships with these people.
With God's help, I have come a long way in healing in this area. I have regained chastity, and the feelings of emotional dependence seem to have lessened (though not completely vanished). Although I have been praying on my own about these matters and, generally speaking, strengthening my relationship with God through Christ (along with Mary, the Angels, and the Saints), I would like to ask again for prayer. In particular, I would ask that any soul ties with my pastor's daughter might be broken. She is a young girl, and it is totally inappropriate for me to be having the kinds of thoughts I have been having about her.
Please pray in general that I would gain help with boundary issues that I have. St. Dymphna, has been someone that I have been asking for intercession.
In Christ,
Dan
