Daily Plan

Our daily plan is often the same, but we always need to see what should be added. Every day it is wise to be ready with a top 5 prayer like:

“Father, help me to turn from lust, and fill me with Your love.”

But, it is also wise to repeat a key verse often that tells us what we are replacing lust with.

2 Timothy 2:22 “So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”

If we have added this verse to our phone, now we can pray about these new things:

“Father, help me to flee from sin, and help me to pursue righteousness.”

“Father, take away this lust, and give me peace.”

Second, decide how fast you want to quit. The fastest way to quit is to be aware of what the Bible says regarding the fear of the Lord. #1 The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. #2 The Bible says to “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.”

To quit fast, think often about how you will work out your salvation with fear and trembling. To quit fast, pick a “fear” verse from the verses for quitting. Pick one like 1 Corinthians 3:17
“If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

To quit fast, quote this verse “before” you decide what TV show you will watch. To quit fast, quote it when you have a lustful thought.

Finally, for your daily plan, consider adding a couple of key verses to your phone. Read them often for that day. If they are working continue to read them often all week. Make up prayers based on your key scriptures. Fight lustful thoughts with prayer or scripture every time.

When you have a great daily plan, you start to have your own personalized armor against porn.

 

Reading at least one chapter of the New Testament daily is vital for quitting. Consider writing a note about a place and time where/when you will do that. I read one chapter in the New, and one in the Old Testament daily.

Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. 2 Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.”

How can we “Bind” the commands? #1 Put a piece of tape or string around your finger. #2 Set an alarm on your phone. #3 Notes. #4 Put it on your (Google) calendar. #5 Have a magnet on your fridge. Put fresh notes up under the magnet weekly (Use a code if needed). In your bedroom write your goal - “Run from lust.” On your fridge write RFL. #6 Have a quitting notebook that you use often. #7 Have notes/quitting verses/prayers in your phone. #8 Use a daily planner to remind yourself of all the changes you want to make. #8 Put a rubber band on your wrist to remind you to pray a quitting prayer or to quote a quitting verse every half hour of the day.

Second, these ideas are how to put the Bible verse “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” into action.

Third, consider praying:

“Father, help me to put to death lust, and fill me with Your Spirit.”

Fourth, consider making a covenant with your eyes:

Job 31:1 ESV “I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?

Read the Word, do the Word, find joy.
