Struggles with devotion

In today’s modern world, we encounter countless temptations and distractions. This raises the question: How can we remain devoted to God in such an environment?

After confessing my sins, I was deeply moved by the priest’s blessing to go forth and free myself from past transgressions. However, several questions lingered:

- How do I avoid running into sin in this digital age?
- If I see sexual content online randomly on a normal site, am I sinning?
- If I do see that content, is it my mindset that makes it a sin or act of viewing it?
- How can I change my mind that was tempted before to now not recognize these temptations?
- How do I continue to devote myself to God when my mind wanders?
- What can't be forgiven when there is guilt but still encountering the temptations?

These questions have weighed heavily on my soul because I don’t want to fall back away from God when I’m trying to get closer to Him. I’m actively doing daily meditations and self-reflections with the daily readings on the free AMEN APP offered by The Augustine Institute. I’ve even started this before I finally decided to go to confession. I believe that I’m working towards a way to be closer to God, but I’m uncertain at times because I do keep noticing things that have led me into temptation before.
