I felt led to do this...

Worry not your joy comes in the morning
Despite how broken you become you shall not succumb
for victory is around the corner
On to the floor you go
let the tears pour
let your pain become his
let your inner fears rest upon his fingers
for he shall seek through
see you through and let you through
the door to explore your truest blessing
times seem like ever growing stress
but manifest in his glory for it shall not last
this is from the person sitting with you
the victim within the world of hurt
the broken that desires to be unbroken
the Wiseman on his last stance
the follower holding to follow a better path
we are in this together
for I am rooting for you because you shall root for me
as we wake up in the morning with our lives in his hands
its a divine plan that's hard to see now
but trust me when I saw it is glorious
and he shall vow to make it come to pass
as pain doesn't last forever
for his blessings will fulfill the last puzzle piece
that needs to come together
for the complete picture
of your destiny....

I need help resisting lust and temptation Lord have mercy

As a married man, its a rough road to avoid such temptation. Yet, the one thing that keeps playing in my mind when I have those moments is the years I share with my wife and being a responsible father to my son. Plus, it helps that most folks out here are doing it for the "gram". So it makes it easy to be like...you know what...it's not that bad:ehh:.

Just keep pushing through and realize that you are your own temple. Don't let those forsake it in your journey breh:wow:

I wish more people would talk about being a single Christian man in these days is one of the hardest things. Temptation is everywhere

Its taboo unfortunately. Trust, I had to shake off a co worker I was crushing hard on because she had it all:

  • Down to earth
  • a gamer
  • Lovable
  • crazy like this koala
  • Believes in God

Yet, one day God had me take a step back and realize the flaws outweigh the goods:

  • She was two times divorced
  • had two kids (one actually has mental issues)
  • Has airhead moments (ALOT of them)
  • Drinker
  • Was a addict at one time
Thank God for him showing me the errors of her ways along with how blessed I am. Even though it seems hard for Single Christian males to live, it's twenty times harder for Married Christian Males because it is like temptation is the biggest obstacle we faced due to the importance of marriage, especially nowadays where it is a test to withstand (pandemic).

Romans 8:18-39
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

More Than Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I struggle too, but iron sharpens iron. Stay righteous and keep fighting the good fight, y'all :salute:
