Barry Bonds smashed baseballs. He was the king of the steroid era players (allegedly). Pitchers were scared of him and he walked 232 times in 2004 including 120 intentional walks. Barry annihilated the home run record with 73. The million-dollar question is, can we annihilate lust? If we include specific scriptures about lust in our prayers they start to become powerful. Consider praying: “The eye is the light of the body, if that light is darkness, how great is that darkness.” At home, we can read lust verses when overwhelmed. #2 If we have several prayers that use verses about lust for busy times, they will start to change our thought patterns. Consider praying: “If my thoughts are darkness how great is that darkness.” Consider praying those prayers until you “know” that lust causes darkness and depression. It is easier to quit if you start to become fully aware of the dark side to lust.
Just as Barry Bonds needed help to reach heights not possible for mere mortals, we need the help of God to do what we are not strong enough to do ourselves. Apart from him we can do nothing. With him, all things become possible!
