I need help bad.

[wheelchairman85]

I am a Christian young man i go to church i say my prayers and i do my very best to serve god.
But i have a problem with the sin of lust.

I try not to lust but even the seeing a woman walk into my line of sight causes me to develop lust filled thoughts and desires.

Please help me! It has gotten so bad i have even prayed to god to take away my sight.

I understand, you're not alone. I constantly have to be bouncing my eyes, and I know I fail a lot. Even when I don't succumb to looking, I know they're there and the urge to look if very great. I find with myself that if I hang out with men and women I tend not to lust as much. When I know them myself, I see that they're made in God's image and that they're human, not just pieces of meat. I still have a lot of issues with the general public. I have prayed that prayer myself. Hang in there.

We as men tend to look ALOT. Even if its not lusting we are doing, we still notice. Just as women notice the abs or butt of a guy. Now that I am marrying I am trying really hard to not even look. I to do not look at them as meat, I instead notice they beauty of a woman. Overall the human body is beautiful, but we still have to be sure not to set ourselves up for a trap.

Will we ever be able to NOT look at another woman? Depends on the person. Sadly because of sin its one of a mans downfalls though. Just try your best and pray God gives you strength to help you with it.

Reminds me of today. We went to Olive Garden and a mom was breast feeding her child. I happen to notice because she had like a cover over her that I didn't realize what it was at first. Then I looked away and didn't look back. Mind you I wasn't lusting, I think a woman breast feeding a child is beautiful. But still, I didn't want her getting the wrong impression because sadly women who breastfeed are often looked at by men in lustful ways.
