Practical help

In those moments when we are wrestling with the nagging temptation to log on to Web porn, peace of mind is the thing farthest from our experience. Our minds and hearts are in turmoil. Our hearts pound, and our palms sweat. We become agitated. Our minds are filled with images and the common self-justifications. The battle rages on, and it may seem in those moments that the only way to find peace from this relentless temptation is to follow its course. We either give in to the lie of lust or we turn our minds in the direction of the only One who can give perfect peace.

Having our minds stayed on Jesus means that we lean hard upon Him or take firm hold of Him. We look to Him for all we need, and we trust Him to help and sustain us in His grace — even in the area of sexual temptation. With your mind stayed on Jesus, today He will keep you in perfect peace. Go ahead and take hold of Jesus right now.
