10 Ways to Beat Porn Sample

I heard this from someone else, but it is so good I want to share it.

You know that moment of temptation when your palms begin to sweat, your heart is racing, and you are close to falling into the same pit again? In that moment, practice B.R.A.C.E.

The B.R.A.C.E Method is this:

B: Breath, take a few deep breaths.

As you do this, your heart rate slows down and oxygen flows to a part of your brain that gives you a little bit more strength to make the right decision.

R: Remember the Truth.

At this moment remember the verses you memorized. Bring them up quickly to your mind and meditate on Scripture.

A: Ask God for help.

Be honest and simply say, “God help!” Those five seconds in prayer may be all you need because God will hear in that moment.

C: Call an accountability partner.

Text or call someone and say, “Hey, I am being tempted.”

E: Escape the situation.

“God will also provide the way of escape." Leave that room, unplug the computer, turn off the phone; whatever that situation is, escape.

God calls us to flee lust, not to fight it, so run from those compromising situations.

I pray God will give you victory in this area.

Today’s Prayer:

Lord, help me overcome pornography by living a life of discipline and self-control in the Holy Spirit. I depend on You and Your mighty hand to be victorious over temptation. God, teach me to walk in victory, authority, and holiness in Jesus’ name, amen.
