everytime you are tempted, say a prayer of priase
“Thank you lord for my mom”
“Thank you Jesus for my family”
“Thank you Holy Spirit for my eyes”
“Thank you Good Father for my intelligence”
“Thank you God for all the things I have”
Do this for 3 minutes, get up and go for a walk, look at something God has made, like flowers, trees, birds, etc. and I promise you that your temptation will go away. And when it comes back, do it again, and again. Eventually the devil have to try new things, but you have the grace of Christ and if He (Christ) sees you taking Him seriously by doing something like the above I just mentioned, He will shower you with more graces. Also, DO NOT FORGET, your blessed Guardian Angel. He will protect you from everything if you tell him everyday.

resisting sin is understanding sin less then the choices you have
because god has claimed material goods the exploration upon balanced existence was found within the bibles secret doors. back before the midevil days evil’s plead to make a deal to material goods not to awaringly explore for that deal was hidden in the bibles non foreign walls. for this days evils foreign cry suggests other paths of truth are atainable after athiests and evil still obide by the law of the land and not use written paper to use illegal drugs with. they suggest we and material goods only explore evils wants, to be the true first step in exploration. my understanding has always been evil only explores to understand unknowingly truth such as apples and pears mixture. adam and eve alpha and omega so as is to balance is to gravity mingling with trinities electric force of attraction so should be of a balance grampa universe suns quality of shine upon planetary levels, galaxies excluded joined apart, seemingly endless positivity attracts expansion of matter presuming lifes awareness until no positivity needs balance to portray seperation of though matter sin.
for their first step is the understanding seen in the universes as you might understand above yes good has accomplished much more. The above hopful planetary balance agreement with the trinity and gravity is similiar< to a beliefe of location, direction, a basic concept of order the way thing partain to be in place such as ingraved images. basic order of material goods should have no significate lawlessness, a beliefe stretched from as i recall the ten commandments of mankind given to moses.
god wasnt prepared to write things such as this in basic language without required proof so thus the law. its a shame so much is presumablly lost in lives in wars upon the pain mankind suffer threw the ignorance of required proof. in the olden days we were told to obey god and kill our children and be rewarded. this writting is know obvious why. some things without proof are unatainable to believe the words of god to a destiny fullfilling the beliefe if only in the olden days those people listen not to forein gods obedience one might suggest beliefe would be easier. for god only asks of us what we are comfortable with and to obey the law of the land scripture as such always challenge gods voice to determine if he is foreign or not for it is said put no other god before me. so islam you follow foreign gods be prepared to become foreign people on the planet.

Ask a saint. find the patron for watever your problem is and ask for his (or her) prayers. And ask the Holy Spirit.

Got to go with the prayer - and serious doses of it. But not just when you’re tempted. Pray about it first thing when you wake up in the morning and dont’ stop till you fall asleep!
And don’t focus on avoiding your particular sin - try to pray and think about the fact that you want to in fact cultivate the opposite virtue of your sin.
ie if you’re subject to sexual sin pray for the virtue of purity and chastity, if it’s habitual lying pray for the virtue of honesty, if it’s gluttony pray for the virtue of mastery of your appetites etc etc.

Meditating on the Word of God is one of the best wys to resist sin. See what Psam 119 vrs 9-16 says. Memorize several Bible verses and repeat them when you are tempted to sin. Remember, when Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, he used the Word of God to defeat him.

Wow guys, these suggetions are waaaaay better than what I would have ever thought of!
Going by the above, what would one need to pray for if you had trouble being obedient? (ie. “Sweep the floor!” says mum, “Noooo!” I groan)

It’s pretty clear that the opposing virtue of the fault of disobedience would be … the virtue of obedience, no?Wow guys, these suggetions are waaaaay better than what I would have ever thought of!

It’s an important one - one of the big three that most religious vow to uphold along with poverty and chastity, and one that I have trouble with myself 
In your case there’s only a slight psychological shift between praying to be obedient and praying not to be disobedient, but even that slight shift can have an impact, in that it phrases things in a positive and thus more palatable and understandable way.

I think you all are right, I should pray more thankfulness and for obedience, and less against sin. Psychologically, why give sin more attention.

the traditional: frequent recourse to Mass, confession, the sacraments, penance in the form of prayer, fasting and acts of charity, and time in front of the Blessed Sacrament meditating on Christ’s suffering and sacrifice on our behalf. assiduous cultivation of the virtues particularly those that are the oppositve of the evil inclination we are trying to conquer.

Hey thanks! I don’t know how I could have not seen that…It’s pretty clear that the opposing virtue of the fault of disobedience would be … the virtue of obedience, no?

it was pretty obvious:blush:I am usually quite obedient but have trouble feeling like being obedient, if you know what I mean?
Thanks again LilyM:thumbsup:
