Can anyone who has overcome or has had a successful experience with beating lust. I find it hard for myself to even restrain myself from sex and I just wanna lock in and build that relationship with God because Ik that’s right. If anybody can give me any advice or guidance it’ll be helpful bc I’m tired and I just wanna change for good.
I don’t really know what “you” is saying, the sin of lust isn’t the desire itself but giving energy/attention to the thoughts. It is not a sin to be attracted towards females, if you weren’t then that’s an even greater sin. Anyways, I have not overcome the sin entirely myself but I have gotten much better in the battle getting streaks of 30,50,70, etc. The true mindset and belief in this journey can only come from experience and time, you need to learn to really hate what is bad and love what is good. The two biggest things that have helped me get to where I am is 1.) not having shame after I fall, I understand that it’s a blessing to just simply walk on this path and try for change. The thought of shame and regret after falling is simply another temptation from the devil, I now view each setback as a lesson and apply what I’ve learned towards my next attempt. 2.) prioritizing God, you can not do it without him. I know it sounds cliche but it’s the truth, you need to fill your heart and mind with his word so the devil doesn’t even have any room to tempt you! Again this comes with time It’s only considered failure if you give up, results and progress will come in time. God Speed
