Tonight,my rocky road to recovery continues moving forward.I had a pretty good day today.
Today,I woke up in the mid morning and I had my usual 2 cups of coffee.After my coffee,I showered quickly and when I was finished,I had my usual quick breakfast.After breakfast,I did my personal PC work while listening to some music.Today was another extremely COLD day with the Wind Chill temps at -20.Despite the cold,I had to head out to a local supermarket to pick up a few things.After that,I headed to the local Super Wal-Mart to pick up one other thing.After that,I headed for home.
On the way home,I stopped at the local Laundry Lounge to see if a jacket that I left there to get fixed was done and it was.I told the lady that I would pick it up tomorrow.After that,I headed straight home.
When I got home,I started to prepare my evening meal and after I ate it,I did some more personal PC work.Later on,I started to prepare for my evening retirement.Overall,a pretty good day.I also managed to get some recommended Holy Bible reading done as well.
Tonight,I must share something in regards to my struggles with SSA.A few days ago,I realized why I have been habitually falling short and repenting.I read a devotion that a friend sent me a few days ago and in that devotion,I discovered that although I keep saying that I want to overcome SSA successfully and do what is right in the eyes of my Heavenly Father,I realized that I hadn't asked my Heavenly Father to help me change my heart,including asking him to make it pure and clean.This devotion talked about people who repeatedly sin the same sins and repent each time habitually.I saw that I never asked my Heavenly Father to create in me a clean and pure heart.My heart was still full of lustful intentions and craving to fantasize about other men.To me,this particular devotion was a much needed slap in the face.This morning upon arising and before I did anything else,I immediately went to my Heavenly Father in prayer and asked him to create in me a clean and pure heart.I asked him to clean out all the lustful evil things that were in my heart and replace them with pure and healthy things,such as looking at my fellow man in a healthy and authentic way and rejecting selfish intentions towards them.I also confessed a few sins at the same time and asked him to forgive me for those sins.I prayed real hard and left nothing out.I asked all of these things in the name of his son Jesus Christ and after I was finished praying,I felt better and I went on with the rest of the day with no problems.I just wanted to share that with all of you.Fellow blog followers and readers,please continue to pray for me.I also would appreciate some positive verbal support in the comments section.Though I unloaded an awful lot today in prayer,I still need all of you to pray for me.I also still need your positive verbal support in the comments section.Please continue to support with both prayers and positive verbal support.I would really appreciate that.Thanks in advance to all of you for your continued support.Thanks also to both my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ.
As for the weekend,with the exception of church as usual,I have made no plans.But I hope that whatever I choose to do gives me positive benefits.
That was my day today and my hopes and plans for the upcoming weekend ahead.FJ

"Create in me a clean and pure heart." Amen! If we have a clean and pure heart it keeps the enemy away. I know I have not always done that but sure see that when I let things slip the enemy took advantage and those old things (concerning ssa, lust, fantasizing) came right back. It is crucial to start each day as you indicated; "confession and prayer for a clean and pure heart." Standing together with you my brother...be strong in the Lord.
