How to Please God

Hebrews 11:5-6New Living Translation (NLT)
5 It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.”[a] For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. 6 And it is impossible to please God without faith.

I’m not sure if anyone will read this but I wish to ask if anyone could please pray for the people harassing and attacking me. I desire so much for Proverbs 16:7 to be true for me and so I am trying my best to overcome any sin and be faithful and obedient to the Lord. I’d sincerely appreciate prayers for my ‘enemies’.
Thank you for reaching out to us! We will be praying that the Lord will show His mighty hand in your situation.
Hi. Thank you for responding. The attacks against me are really still intense. I am struggling to have faith, and am starting to feel cursed. I’ve turned to porn, self pleasure and though I acknowledge my sins, I am now trying to accept that my harassers and attackers have defeated me. I’m doing my best to trust and obey the Lord, but I am trying to accept this storm will not ever pass. Every day It is clear to me that the Lord is displeased with me, even though I’m trying.
