nikkan_hanil Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Thanks. PS- I know this is kind of late, but it kind of does look like Puumba is eating Timon. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I find that the most of my temptations come from my hormones. I'm 17 and there is WAY too many sexual temptations...even flirting on MSN. I've only recently returned to God, so I'm sure that as our relationship grows, my ability to abstain from flirtatious acts and temptations will grow too. Pray for me.

Iacobus Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 As Thomas said, hormones cause my great it problems. I have found that when I have an "impluse" the best tatic to use, seeing that you can't always go to Mass, is to pray the Rosary. It will take your mind of the urges and re-focus you on God. Plus I always walk away with a warm fuzzy feeling (it might be the dog that sleeps in my bed is laying on me again but I like to think not). Also God was so kind to give us 2 hands each with 5 fingers so you always kind of have a Rosary. Also I try to avoid parties and thing I know that smoking and drinking and sex will be occuring at. I cannot stand the smell of cigerettes or cigars or things like that. So no amount of peer perssure will make me do that. I have had to care for a very very drunk teenager before. I just got him to my house and stayed up all night watching over him. I prayed for hours. And sex... that is the hardest one. I just pray for strength and help when it troubles me. Plus I avoid places I know that will happen so I can remain pure. But other times that is not an issue. I could have anything happen to me and not want sex. You just need to "conquer thyself."

Colleen Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 show others (like your friends) that you're not going to give into the temptations of the world. this can be as simple as saying, "sorry, i'm not going to go see that movie. i don't want to." and if they ask why, explain it to them! it's tough, i know, it can be really hard, but then you're helping others (not just yourself). you might think you're looking really uncool, but you may be helping somebody out -- giving them the courage to fight the temptations. and remember, a temptation is simply that: a tempatation. it's not a sin. it's only when you act on that temptation.
