Passage: II Thessalonians 3:5* And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ. Question If you ask God for help with your porn struggle, what do you ask Him for?   Practical help When you ask God to help you avoid porn, do you find yourself asking Him to keep the stuff away from you? Do you then find yourself a little less accountable for falling when the stuff "shows up" again? Sometime it seems easier in our minds to put the monkey on God's back. Then when we fall, we've got this nice explanation — "I asked You to keep that stuff away from me. You know I can't handle it. What did You think was going to happen?" Consider, like the Apostle Paul in today's passage, asking God to put something in front of you rather than keeping something away from you. What God promises to lay before you is a changed heart, a powerful love and the rock solid strength of Christ. With those directly in front of you, there'll be no room for porn! eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2003 by eXXit *"Scripture taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE®, © Copyright The Lockman Foundation 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995.
