Hey everyone, I’ve got something weighing on my mind. For the past five days, every time I speak with her, I’m overwhelmed by an irresistible spark—her beauty ignites something raw within me. I’ve even caught myself succumbing to private moments, letting my fantasies take over. But I don’t want her to just be a figment of my desire; I genuinely want to know who she is beyond her stunning exterior. In the midst of this internal battle, I find myself praying to God—asking Him to rid me of these overpowering, muscular desires and to cleanse my thoughts from the sinful ways of the flesh. How do you strike a balance between surrendering to passion and striving for a deeper, more meaningful connection?”
we Men are wired to appreciate, and desire a woman’s beauty, features and everything in between. It’s God ordained and has a beautiful purpose in the context of marriage. that spark is what drives passion in us. the question isnt to rid yourself of the desires, but how to direct that raw masculine energy into something productive. Its the reason why men built cities and invented cars; raw masculine energy. it may be easier to ask to get rid of the desires but i dare you to ask God how to control it, how to funnel it and to use it for his Glory. However if the desires are pure lust, in which case you flee from it. it is an all consuming fire
