The Bible clearly says “We can do it.” First, we need to gain the habit of turning from lust. Step one is to tell God your plan. Consider praying: “Father, help me to turn from lust. I commit to praying this prayer _______ times per day. Praying it several times while I turn on the TV or social media, and praying it five straight times if I stumble on anything tempting.” Use notes, alarms, and any other way you can think of to remind yourself of your goal. Second, yesterday I did a couple of things in excess. Excess leads back to bad habits. Consider praying: Father, help me to be moderate and content.” David failed to turn from lust and he reaped a mountain of disaster. Don't copy that action. Learn great new habits. Find joy.
