The Struggle

I am finding as I struggle within my flesh, yet call out for the Spirit..
That true discipline is required of one who wants to walk in the light,
And be freed from the past.
It is interesting how, before me, to the left and to the right..
There are are a plethora of temptations..
How I allow my mind to escape into the abyss of lust and desire..AHHH
The war begins and ends in the mind.
I am slowly learning to divert my thoughts towards purity..
To run from the darkness, to stand for the truth, to try and control my incessant desires for sex,
To be imbued by the life of the Spirit, when surrounded by carnal desires.
Who shall stand for truth within this world's depravity?
The loss of moral fortitude.
Oh Lord, turn us from our evil ways,
That those who know Your truth, would be strong in standing by and for the truth..
That the sinful hearts of man be enlightened, empowered, and forever changed!
