I keep falling into sin for some reason

[Anonymous0210]

It's happened for the second time in less than a week now that I've given into lust. I dont know what keeps causing it either. It just seems like lately my mind has been going more towards sexual fantasies lately which eventually leads to me dwelling on them and giving into sin. Like i said idk what has caused it but one thing that i thought about which sucks is that fact that it's going to happen again regarding the thoughts coming back. I know I'll just regret it afterwards every time I give into it as well. It's such a battle too knowing how much my flesh wants these desires and even when I try to fight back like for example reading psalms while it was happening it wasn't what I wanted to do. I could go into detail but really I'm just asking for prayers and advice. Thanks

Please tell me you're not confusing simple biologically-driven urges and need for sexual release with lust. It's not the same thing.

I am a single hetero male in my 60s, still have desires, knowing also I don’t want to bring another person into sin ( Matthew 7:1-12, Matthew 23:36-40, Romans 13:8-10 etc.). I confess my sins all the same ( 1 John 1:5-10), pray for myself, for my neighbor, & for evangelism ( 1 Timothy 2:1-6, Matthew 6:9-13, Matthew 9:36-38 etc,). Colossians 1:10-24 ( all of Colossians 1 actually) is a good overview of seeing the living aspect of faith in a lifetime. The key is to avoid extremes like panicking or reckless complacency.
