Passages: 2 Chronicles 32:7-8* 7. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said. Questions 1. Has battling pornography ever seemed like a losing battle to you?   2. What encouragement does this passage give you?   Practical help While the struggle against pornography may seem like a losing battle, Scripture does not promote a “woe-is-me” approach. In fact, our attitude should be the opposite — confidence based on the promises of God. If you lack such confidence, take heart from a truth that encouraged the Israelites thousands of years ago: You battle against natural forces, but God provides supernatural help. Right now, pray for his strength. Then you will also “gain confidence” to overcome pornography. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1999 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
