Thoughts & Controlling Them.....

[Brian90]

I started seeking God, and started reading the Holy Bible. Very soon, I didnt have the urge to look at porn or touch (most of the time).

Now I can control the temptations better than I did before I started seeking God and reading the Holy Bible.

When I fail, I pray to God to forgive me and to help me resist the temptations. I hardly have all those sexually immoral thoughts in my mind now. I can go on longer and longer without masturbating/looking at porn.

I try to read at least 1 chapter a day from the Holy Bible. This helps me greatly to resist the tempatation to touch.

p.s. check some threads here, there are alot of interesting topics.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am in the word everyday & am getting closer to the Lord. As far as the urge to touch/look at porn. Those are few & far between, thanks to the Lord. As far as the thoughts in my head. I know that since I have gotten rid of the porn, these have grown in intensity, I know they will fade, the closer I get to the Lord. Please continue to pray for me.

I just have a question??

Does anyone ever have something cross your mind that you know is wrong & stupid??

I don't think we'd be human if we didn't

Controlling our minds takes practice and discipline. This little book is free and helped me greatly. Easy to download for easy access.



The Practice Of The Presence Of God
[FONT=Verdana, sans serif]Conversations and Letters
of Brother Lawrence http://www.practicegodspresence.com/brotherlawrence/index.html[/FONT]

In this small book, through letters and conversations, Brother Lawrence simply and beautifully explains how to continually walk with God - not from the head but from the heart. Brother Lawrence left the gift of a way of life available to anyone who seeks to know God's peace and presence; that anyone, regardless of age or circumstance, can practice -anywhere, anytime. Brother Lawrence also left the gift of a direct approach to living in God's presence that is as practical today as it was three hundred years ago.
