Helpful hints

The lure of web porn may seem too strong to simply make a promise or covenant with yourself to stop. Consider this alternative: Make a covenant with a close friend who can help you say No to the temptation to view pornography.

Ask God to help you say No to web porn. He has promised to help those who ask for it. He can bring friends or counselors into your life to assist you, and He can give you the strength to stay away from pornographic web sites and material!
