    One root cause that leads to temptation is, we want everything our way. We often need daily repentance of this attitude. Consider praying:

    "Father, I believe that Your way is best. Help me to strive to live life Your way."

    In Genesis 39 there is a verse about a sin against God. Is lust a sin against God? It is way easier to sin if we think... it is just a sin. I try to often remind myself that porn might be a slap in the face to God. That He wants us finding our pleasures in very specific ways. It helps.

    A second root cause is just going with the flow. Merely reacting to sin when it gets really problematic. Instead, always work on improving habits of preventive actions. Today I will work on the habit of running from lust again. Today I will work on improving in love. Today I will try to be more available if there is some way to help more people.

    Third, develop the habit of fighting temptation like Jesus did. When you are tempted think: What Bible verse would Jesus use to fight this temptation? Then quote the verse as often as you need to. Satan only has a limited number of ways to tempt us.

    I used to box with my brothers and friends. I would always have my opponents dodging and backing up. When you develop expertise in picking the right verse for fighting temptation you will have satan dodging and backing up.

    You can't fight satan alone, but when you use the right scriptures Jesus becomes fully in the fight. Satan can't beat Jesus. That is good for you.
