Thanks Copinghubby and Paulos for your encouragement and advice. Going out in bitter weather has set me back in getting over the cough that is left at the end of the flu.

guitarist,

One day at a time!! I will pray for the Lord to provide you strength. Hope the flu and cough pass soon. I know that I feel like such easy pray for the hells and hellish thoughts when I am weak from being tired. Get some rest!

~Peace

Copinghubby, thanks for your kind support and encouragement. Jesus did say each day has enough trouble of its own.

Failed after 7 days. Different triggers involved each time.

guitarist,

Even though you feel you failed, if you are still free from porn and lust, that is a big part of the battle.

Hopefully you are all better now and can get better rest. I find when I am tired is when I become must vulnerable.

Just keep trying. If you stop trying, you have then failed. If you keep trying, the Lord can work with you and take your burden. If we are not trying, He can not help us. We need to do our part and you definitely are doing yours. You fall and get back up again.

This is another opportunity to show the hells that they may have won a battle, but you are looking to win the war. Keep up the fight!

~Peace

Thanks copinghubby for your encouragement.

I will aim to trust in God more and not in what I can do to get myself out of this rut.

Re. the flu - chesty but otherwise over the worst of it.

I've dropped the torch, so to speak. 7th day since the last time.

I'll start again.

Dear Guitarist,
I hope you don't refer me as super

. None of us is super, or have extra self control or anything.
Is there anything that I may pray for you specifically?

Thanks, Seeking God,

I am aware that I'm dragging my heels on this issue and others here are flying a flag of victory which is great but I am just not at that point myself yet.

Guitarist,
This is my prayer for you today;

Dear God,
I pray so you will hear Guitarist's request. He wished for the fruits of the spirit, so God, give him your grace, so Guitarist could walk in your spirit. God, we pray, save us from these deadly war, let us depend solely on You, give us Your wisdom, and lead us according to Your path.
In Your Name,
Jesus Christ
Amen

Dear friends,

Thank you for your kindness, helpful prayers (thank you Seeking God) and replies.

I am on top of the problem at the moment and it's going well at present.

Back to the beginning again. 7th day since last succumbed. Is it like a chain with endless links on it? I will try and make a better effort.
