Day 6

Last night and today have been VERY hard. You know how when you’re a kid, you like hold onto your parents leg? Well that’s me with Jesus rn, I’m just trying to hold on. I know it’ll get easier, the hardest part is the beginning until it becomes engrained in your brain as a habit. One thing that has helped me is leaving my phone downstairs with my fiancé when I go to bed so I can’t do anything even if I’m tempted. Romans 13:14 has been ringing in my head a lot recently where it says, “make no provision for the flesh.” I think I’ve struggled with pride more than I’ve realized. I’ll think “I don’t need to do that cause I’m better than that,” but it has nothing to do with my willpower or who I am, but everything to do with Christ who lives within me. He is the one overcoming this, not me, I am helpless. Thanks be to God, stay strong men. A true man is one who has power over his own mind.
