Just me trying to be honest with God.

The key to self-control is not so much restraint as it is redirection.

“No temptation has taken you...” 1Cor.10
Don’t resist temptation; remove it by doing something else. Redirect your focus and energies to something good and do it the very second temptation knocks. To wait, is to wade further into the mire and you will soon find yourself wallowing in it. Train yourself to walk away. I am not saying that you should read the Bible every time you are tempted, go surfing, read a book, just get up and do something different. There is no need to get “spiritual” about it just redirect your focus. Conversations Within” ts 3/9/2013 (Jax, FL)
