When a person decides to get
victory over lust, they usually think in terms of control, “I’m
going to stop doing this!” But gritting your teeth and trying to
stop lusting by self control will not work. You have to do exactly
the opposite—surrender.
You arrive at victory by admitting
you are powerless over lust, and then asking God to help you. You've
tried it many times your way in the past -- and it's never worked.
Now try the surrender approach.
Here's how works -- pray this
simple prayer:
"God, I'm powerless over lust. I surrender
myself to you. Please heal me, and make me a whole person."
If you try to do it on your own,
you'll end up with "white knuckles” -- and
live in continued defeat.
