Thank you for shraring! I struggle with lust too, sometimes those thoughts just get stuck in my head. It helps to remind ourselves that God can carry that for us, we can go to him in prayer and name our thoughts/urges/whatever temptations we are feeling to him and ask him to replace them. For me personally, I have to speak a loud a strong "No, we aren't going to do that" to myself because sometimes if I don't speak a loud then nothing will happen or worse, I'll act on whatever temptation that is there. I really find that taking a minute or too to just speak a loud to God helps. Yo don't have to bow your head and close your eyes (unless you feel like it) you can just sit there and call on his name and he will listen. (I often don't close my eyes when I pray, I'll just start talking to him). It's all about taking those thoughts captive and bringing them to the Lord.

This is a serious question I'll give you answers from experience. I pray scripture that is against it. God's word does not return void. I make myself vacation and I repeat the word in prayer to the Lord. I plead the blood of the Lamb to cleanse me. I stay busy. If you exercise a little your blood will naturally go to your muscles to heal it so you don't feel so much anxiety and urge. Philippines 4:8 focus on this in your mind practice it. Like what I do I think of being in the church in praise with my male friends. Now how can I focus on lust being around in a church by dudes the urge leaves. Don't stare at a woman too long if you do sooner or later this is for females too, you might think impure and later sin alone. Feel your mind with good things. Who you can help or a good memory. Or anew people getting saved. Dwell in sinful thoughts there your actions go. Practice recital of the word. Now I'm going to tell you the truth since I've done this it's been better. Not perfect but better. You will fall but less. 3 things a human of survival calls for is security,sex and food. It's the 3 basic instincts so don't expect to never fall but fight it as good as possible.
