Purity I once was young and innocent, A child who knew no lust. Naive, I was, and ignorant, And full of misplaced trust-- For soon the world of hedonists Despoiled my pristine mind... Their self-pollutions and their trysts, Prepared for me to find.Pandora's box invited me, And I, in innocence, Raised up the lid, set demons free, Who've plagued me ever since. If only I could yet redeem That simple purity, I'd pay a treasure worth a dream To be forever free.Yet God has promised a new heart If I give Him my all; I may, if I will do my part, In victory yet stand tall. I'll yield my will to Him today And choose deliberately To do what's right and flee away From all impurity.If with God's help I bring each thought Into captivity, Addictions I have often fought Will fall away from me. Lord, help me then to yield to You Whenever I am pressed; Forgive my past and make me new, And I shall be most blest.
Yes and I pray that he helps me. I had a relapse today and I'll have to ask for his forgiveness. I talked to myself and I will not let this beat me! I was 3-4 weeks in but I refuse to let the devil win!
Perhaps you have seen some of my tips already, but if not, click on the links in my signature for some of the best ones. Victory is possible, but not if one resists in the wrong way. The battle for purity must be taken to the thoughts. And God will help you to have new desires if you ask Him and commit your life to Him. Read Psalm 37:3-5; 1 Corinthians 10:13; and Philippians 4:8, 13. Claim God's promises, and you can claim victory!
I'm glad you liked it. May God bless your efforts, giving you the desire, the resolve, and the strength to be an overcomer on every weak point.
Maybe this forum should have a section for creative writing like this. Perhaps you would like to contribute some of your own. My hope is that my writing does more than merely entertain.
