Today was good. I did prayer meditation for 7 minutes in the morning and prayed. Then I went to work. I had some fleeting thoughts coming my way, but I rejected them and didn’t entertain them. I listened to the Bible in a year podcast during lunchtime. I just finished reading the Bible after work and I am now going to take notes. I will have time before sleeping to continuing my course about electronic circuits ( I want to have the skill to repair electronic circuits) and also some time to read a book. Thank God for another day. God is good.

Today was not perfect. I woke up and did prayer meditation for 7 minutes. Then I prayed. I had lustful thoughts in the morning. But I rejected them and said verses from scripture in my mind: “I am not a slave of sin, I am a child of God. The Lord is my strength and my shield”. Then the thoughts stopped. It shows that the words of the Bible are alive and are weapons against spiritual warfare.
At work, I didn’t have any lustful thoughts. There was a moment where a coworker passed and I felt the desire growing in me to look at her. But I didn’t and I ignore it as usual.
The struggle was at the gym. Again, many people were dressed immodestly. Of course the desire grew in me to look at them, but I didn’t. I said the same verses in my mind and I was fine. But there was a moment where I was doing some cardio. Then I started thinking about the last time where I failed in my 1 year streak. I was reminding myself of the specific video that made me fail and I was thinking: " how could I fail to such a thing?". But then the video was playing for a few seconds in my mind and I started feeling the desire again. I found myself lusting again. I stopped and asked God for forgiveness. The devil is crafty: he uses shame to drive you to lust. Or he makes you “test” yourself to lust. I learned that I should be careful and not let shame drive me back to lustful thoughts (or try to test myself). Shame is not of the Holy Spirit. This is the devil trying to make you fail. I have to be careful. I saw myself getting angry at the women and started judging. But then I stopped and prayed to God to bless them and guide them to Him.
I drove back home and I prayed in my car and told God I was sorry for offending Him with these impure thoughts. I prayed for His grace to transform my heart so I do not have desire for such things anymore.
I prayed again for these women so that God opens a path to Him in their life. I reminded myself that these people are my sisters. If you look in their eyes, you can see the spirit dwelling in them. I remembered seen an elderly woman when I travelled to another country 3 years ago. We were together in a group activity (visiting Fatima in Portugal). Once it was done, she looked at me right in the eyes. As if she could see my spirit. Her eyes were pure and loving. She was talking and smiling like a child. I still remember her eyes 3 years later. That’s what Jesus mean when He said we should aspire to be pure like children. I pray He guides me to that path.
I saw a Christian video yesterday. He said that the flesh wants to sin because it knows it will die. So it tries to bring your spirit down with it. That’s a good lesson that I learned.
Another great lesson is what @FaithfulWalker said: we should not try to be perfect or flawless. We should instead prioritize perseverance. That is very true.

Motivational Scripture
Acts 9:3-5 (KJV) And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Today was okay. I woke up and did prayer meditation for 7 minutes. Then I prayed. I went out with my family at a restaurant and had fun. I then went shopping and later today went to Church. Now I am back at home and will rest during the evening. I will read the Bible before going to bed as usual.
There were moments where the devil was tempting me at the restaurant and when I was shopping. There was the desire to look at some women passing by in front of me… I didn’t look at them and I ignored the fleeting lustful thoughts too. Today was a lot better than yesterday.

I woke up and started prayer meditation. While listening to the woman speaking, I remembered her voice being the same as a woman I saw in an inappropriate video years ago… So I had lustful thoughts for 3-5 seconds, then stopped. I still resumed the meditation even if I felt the weak urges. I thrn prayed to God and asked for His forgiveness for allowing these impure thoughts in my mind and prayed for His Grace to be transformed. Then the urges and thoughts went away.
I still had a huge victory today. Before going to the gym, I prayed to God to protect me from lusting on other women and keep reminding me of Him during temptation.
As I was training, there were a lot of women dressed inappropriately again. I didn’t lust on any of them. There was one moment where while I was using a machine, a woman came 2 meters in front of me and started doing inappropriate movements. So I looked away and did something I never did before: I stood up and walked away. I went to the locker room and sat there 5 minutes. Then I came out and she was gone. So I came back to the mavhine and resumed my training. Later on I went to another section of the gym and there were again 2-3 women dressed immodestly. While walking past them, I was thinking of Jesus. And I didn’t even feel any desire to look at them! That’s a first in my 15 years of addiction. I was happy.
I thought about it the other day. Samson, in all his strength, was still seduced and sinned. Salomon, in all his wisdom, still indulged in lust and had hundreds of wives and concubines… So who are we to think we can conquer this by our own strength and wisdom? We simply can’t. Instead, what we must do is do what Joseph did: he ran away from Potiphar’s wife. We must do the same: run away and take refuge in God. That’s how you win.
I will thank God for His help during my night prayer.

Motivational Scripture
1 John 4:6-9 (KJV) We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Today was okay. Started with orayer meditation as usual. I listened to the Bible in a year podcast while driving to work.
The hard aprt was at work. I had countless fleeting thoughts the whole day. It’s because of a coworker I see everyday. She sees me as a human being. And unfortunately, I have these degrading thoughts about her. I rejected almost all of them and reminded myself that she is a child of God. But there was a thought that I let in my mind for 2-3 seconds before stopping.
I do see progress. In the past I wouldn’t even think of her as my sister and I would entertain the thoughts not for 1-2 seconds, but for several minutes at a time. I feel like I am now more inclined to run to God, which allows me to find the strength to reject almost all of the thoughts.
Now I am doing fine and have no urges. I will read the Bible before praying and sleeping.

Acts 11:15-17 (KJV) And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

Today was great! I didn’t have any urge the whole day and had 0 lustful thoughts. I went to the gym and there were countless women again who were dressed immodestly. But I didn’t feel any desire and didn’t have lustful thoughts toward them. I didn’t even care about them being present, and that’s a first!
It’s all thanks to God that I am being transformed. Weirdly enough, since I failed my 1 year streak in April 8, it seems like I am getting even closer to God now. I won’t lower my guard ever again and I will always run to Him when temptation comes. God is good!

John 10:25-28 (KJV) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Today was a good day. There was only 1 moment during the day where I saw something triggering while scolling through social media. But I went and prayed to God to fill me with His spirit and then the urges were gone. I will have to completely stop wasting time on these apps.
Today my family bought me gifts because it was my birthday yesterday. I am truly blessed to have all these blessings in my life. I will thank God tonight during my night prayer for giving me this life and another day alive.
