WORSHIP
GIVE
Be vulnerable. Ask a trusted friend for prayer over your mind as you are feeling the pressure of sexual temptation. Now ask a friend if they would like to hang out, play a game, or exercise with you. Be around people and walk in the light. It's much easier to fight temptation this way.
