Re: Overcoming Lust - Easy to do?
Lust, man greatest weaakness. I find if I pray before going out in the world letting Christ be my strength it much much easier. I pray many times "Lord I weak to the world and lust in it but you not, I can not face it but you can" I find it helps greatly.
Watchman nee has a book "the overcoming life" that is great about overcomin sin and how christ is our strength and we can't help oursleves to sin. Example, "I can't stop smoking but Christ can"
