The best way to handle it is 1.get you a scripture and repeat it everytime u feel the lust overtaking you... 2. refocus that energy.. These may help.. You must remember that you are stronger than ur feelings.

Good point, I also suggest you styudy scripture long before the lust starts.

Galatians 5:16 ESV / 439 helpful votes
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

1 John 2:16 ESV / 240 helpful votes
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.

2 Timothy 2:22 ESV / 188 helpful votes
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Again..., Jesus does not want you to beat yourself up over this. Turn to Jesus in love and give it to him with scripture.

what works for.me.is the descipline of.prayer ...i pray and read the bible.in the morning and before i sleep...i choose verses everyday where i can meditate in my mind the whole day so my mind is occupied by Him...and.it takes really discipline to see the fruits of the Holy spirit. This habit works for me. glory to God for your courage of posting. that struggle :).

Commit yourself to purity. Just do it & endure. If you need to, repent. Dr. Bill Bright once talked about "Spiritual Breathing." If you made the conscious choice to sin then I'm sure you're completely capable of making a conscious choice to ask for redemption.​

it's the fact you have understanding to know its wrong,and that is why your tempted.


for example.
take love thy neighbor.commandment of jesus...the woman you think of is your neighbor.

then think of how loving thy neighbor ties in with the ten commandments.

say this hinders me,and theres more in a relationship with god than that, through jesus.

and thats how you overcome it.......

and even be glad your not single!.....

hope you relationship goes good.
