I am trying to break some bad habits relating to lust and lustful thoughts. It’s been hard but I’m making a lot of progress, and it would be great if I could have prayers to continue to stay strong against temptation.
 
I find modest dress helps with chastity and trying to surround ourselves with people who have similar values to ourselves. Of course, avoiding temptation, being careful in situations with mixed company. Further, keeping in as frequent contact with the sacraments, prayer all help.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blest is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. :gopray:

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Dear AMK14:

Be very patient.

When I was in my teens, 20s and 30s, I frequently felt utterly consumed with sensual thoughts. It seemed to be impossible to get rid of them.

I’m now 62, and have been in a good Catholic marriage for 33 years. The obsessive thoughts seem to be almost totally gone.

I know this doesn’t do you any good right now, but self-mastery is a lifetime process; we get much better at it as we get older.

I’m going to vigil mass tomorrow, and will mention you in my private prayers.

By the way, welcome to these forums. You’ll make some good friends here, people who can help in your faith walk.

God bless…
