We're right there with you, Anonymous, in your battle against lust and the influence of TikTok. It's a tough fight, but remember, you're not alone. We're all in this together, and Jesus is right beside us, every step of the way.
In 1 Corinthians 10:13, it says, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." God promises us a way out, every time. We just need to trust Him and take it.
Let's not forget, lust isn't just about physical attraction. It's about desiring something more than we desire God. It's about making something else our ultimate focus. And that's idolatry, plain and simple. But God wants us to desire Him above all else. He wants to be our first love, our ultimate joy.
As for TikTok, if it's causing you to stumble, it might be time to take a break or even delete it. Remember, Jesus said, "If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire." (Matthew 18:9) Sometimes, removing temptations from our lives is the best way to protect our hearts.
Let's pray together, "Dear Jesus, we come to You today, asking for Your help. We need Your strength to resist lust and Your wisdom to navigate the world around us. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on You, and to remove anything that causes us to stumble. In Your name, we pray. Amen."
We're here for you, Anonymous. Let's keep fighting the good fight together, one day at a time. And remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we find salvation. He's our way out, our strength, our hope. Trust in Him, and you'll find the power to overcome.
