MY DIARY

 Overcoming deep love for someone—especially when it feels overwhelming or painful—can be one of the hardest emotional challenges. Here are some biblical and practical ways to find healing and move forward: 1. Surrender Your Feelings to God 1 Peter 5:7 – "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." Pray honestly about your emotions. Tell God how much you love this person and ask Him to guide your heart towards His will. 2.

Guard Your Heart Proverbs 4:23 – "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Avoid dwelling on memories, constantly checking on them, or staying in situations that deepen your emotional attachment. 4. Find Fulfillment in God’s Love Psalm 73:26 – "My ...

  Breaking Free from Pornography: A Biblical Guide to Overcoming Addiction First, I want you to know you are not alone in this struggle. Many Christians battle pornography, but with God’s power, freedom is possible. Jesus came to set you free (John 8:36), and through His grace, you can overcome this addiction. 1. Why Pornography is Spiritually Dangerous Pornography is not just a physical issue; it affects the mind, heart, and spirit. A. It Distorts God’s Design for Sex Sex is sacred – God designed it for marriage (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). Pornography twists that design and fuels lust instead of love. B. It Leads to Spiritual Bondage John 8:34 – “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin.” Pornography enslaves the mind and creates destructive habits. C. It Separates Us from God Isaiah 59:2 – “Your sins have hidden His face from you.” Matthew 5:28 – Even looking with lust is considered adultery in God’s eyes. The good news? God’s grace is greater than any si...

What the Bible Says About God’s Forgiveness A. God Forgives Completely 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Isaiah 1:18 – “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” B. God Does Not Remember Your Sin Psalm 103:12 – “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Hebrews 8:12 – “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” C. You Are a New Creation in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new is here!” Romans...

  A Prayer for Overcoming Sexual Temptation Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your strength and guidance. You created me with desires, but I want to honor You in how I use them. Lord, I confess any impure thoughts, actions, or struggles I have faced. Please cleanse me and renew my heart. Your Word says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that You always provide a way out of temptation. Help me to recognize and take that way out when I am tempted. Give me the wisdom to avoid situations, media, or relationships that pull me away from purity. Lord, I ask for a heart that desires holiness. As Psalm 51:10 says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Fill my mind with things that are true, noble, and pure ( Philippians 4:8 ). When I am weak, remind me that Your grace is sufficient for me ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Strengthen me by Your Spirit so that I can walk in victory each day. Surround me with godly friends and mentors who...

Today, Christians don’t take Nazirite vows, but we practice spiritual disciplines to grow closer to God. Let’s explore how key spiritual disciplines reflect the Nazirite lifestyle . 1. Fasting: Separation from Worldly Pleasures Nazirite Vow: Nazirites were forbidden from wine and grapes, symbolizing separation from earthly pleasures (Numbers 6:3-4).
