How Do I Distract Myself From Sexual Urges?

Are sexual urges normal? Yes! Is sex a sin? No! But Why do we even want to fight for sexual purity when our desires seem so natural and good—and often feel too powerful to control? Because we know Jesus is better than Sex. Yes sex is amazing But it's nothing compared to the infinite pleasures we have in God.

God created sex, then told us to enjoy it only within the context of marriage between a man and a woman; so if He has us wait an excruciatingly long time for it, He is (mercifully) teaching us to meet our very deepest desires in Him alone. This easy to say but very hard to live....

However, we can have a smooth purity ride if we put a lot of things in place. We need to first of all realize that we can't do this purity thing on our own. We can't even boast of our own strength otherwise would have lost the battle a long time ago ( you don't want to learn from experience).

Focus on God's promises not your passions. Somedays, the flesh feels too strong to fight, we want to give in so bad but the truth is we put ourselves in that position. Nobody wakes up and just feel like sex...we must have been nursing some unhealthy thoughts. It could be getting involved in a sexual conversation with the opposite gender, listening to some mushy songs or the movies we watch...my question is "what are you feeding your mind?"

Don't flirt with the devil when you can resist him. A couple of times i've thought about giving up, i've cried out of sexual frustration but then knowing where i'm coming from, i will rather do it God's way.

This is one area most Christian singles are struggling with. I shared this in a group and i got the tip below!

"Sexual urges is a natural phenomenon. It could be triggered by Hormonal imbalances for example a woman on her menstral cycle. It comes natural. It could be also be triggered by things we expose ourselves to i.e. sexual videos or anything that could stimulate our sexual desires. The urges can't be avoided but shouldn't be fed upon i.e focusing our attention on it. And one thing is that it's only the grace of God that helps and the love we have for God which has to be a constant reminder that will help a single Christian avoid not falling for their sexual desires."

How do you control your sexual desires as a christian single BUT most importantly what are you feeding your mind?

We will love to read from you..
