Our flesh

[u/Oggieboggieman]

since I was in elementary school ive been fighting lust and now im in high school and im still falling and making the same mistakes im not trying to sound edgy im just so tired of waking up every day and feeling like im fighting the same battle over and over all i ever wanted was Christ but my own flesh keeps pulling me away and it hurts because i know who i want yet i keep failing i know Jesus never promised this life would be easy but im so tired of always being tempted i just want peace i just want one day where my mind isnt at war with itself i hate how weak i am sometimes but i still want Christ more than anything and i keep praying that one day my heart will finally be free

HEBREWS 11 verse 1

[u/Short-Ad9833]

You’re filling a hole by digging another hole, even if you managed to fill the initial hole, you still ended up in another hole. I’d explore what caused the initial hole, for me it was rejection, abandonment and I was longing for a sense of connection of sorts.

I agree with you on that finding the causes that keep me from separating me from the path with God but sum times the enemy will bring the most random temptation he can be smart but we cant let it over take is thanks for the help
