The Temptation...

Postby Sun.Ice » Mon Oct 30, 2006 7:58 pm

My temptation is very hard to control. I try to correct myself, but still I keep swearing, even in my mind at things. I just want to be able to control my mind and tounge to not swear. If you have any advice, that's cool. Please pray that I won't swear or think of it.

With many people I know, it apparently can be a really hard habit to get out of. For me when I became a Christian it wasn't to hard and I just eventually... stopped. Don't remember it being hard or anything, I just had no desire or struggle in doing so. Not sure how common this is, but I know TONS of my friends, who after they became Christian, continued for pretty much the whole time. Sadly enough, not many of them are Christians anymore v_v... But anyways yeah I guess for some it's quite a challange, and I geuss my advice is to avoid possible places where you hear people swearing to the best you can (music, tv shows, etc) if you do/go to those places that have that... hard in schools though :/ But yeah just keep praying on, and I'll be praying for you too!

Just remember, what you put in is what comes out. Try to filter what you're listening to as best you can. *hugs*

Take a look @ James 3.
It's a good chapter concerning this.


And I'll pray for your friends Tenshi

Over the summer I had a HARD time with this..but not just swearing, but telling and laughing at jokes that probably shouldn't have even been thought, I was also seriously doubting my faith.

What helped me was I took a blank Word Processing page and just started rambling to God. Even if I repeated myself, I told God what my goals as a Christian was... why I thought I started cussing, and why I wanted to stop.. Tears did come to my eyes, but by freewriting whatever thought came to me, I could be real not only God by myself.

That page is still on my hardrive, and sometimes when I feel that I am reverting back to my worldy self, I will read it, and add on to it.

The thing you gotta remember is, we are Christians, but we are also human, our human nature will fight with our Christian Nature... but I believe that it's a test that we will overcome with God's help.

so yeah, I hope that helps! It sure helped me!
