Battle Buddies✝️- Day 8

Good job on resisting Logan! Proud of you! :)

As you feel that resistance, like it’s getting “harder” to resist, remember that you’re changing, and that can feel hard. But you can also choose to allow the urge without fighting it. I’ve found that’s easier. When it hits you, take a deep breath or two or three, call it what it is, out loud if you need to, and pay attention to where you feel it in your body. Is it in your head, your chest, somewhere else? Then remind yourself that urges are okay - it doesn’t make you a bad person to feel an urge, and that you can let it go. I got stuck for a long time feeling guilty every time I had an urge, then finally someone pointed out that even Christ was tempted, but He was perfect. So being tempted/feeling the urge doesn’t make you a bad person, but choosing how to respond can make you a holy, sanctified person through Jesus. You’ve got this, brother. More importantly, Christ has this for you and will help you.
