what does the bible say about Lust? Is there a prayer to help you with it?

Answer 2

Yes, there are lots of things the BIble has to say about this, Romans 6:19, 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:2, 30, 6:19-20; Ephesians 1:4, 4:24; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, 5:23; 2 Timothy 1:9; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16,

Answer 3

The Bible speaks in several places about the lust of the flesh, most notably... 1 John 2:16; James 1:14-15; Galatians 5:16-17. What a lot of people fail to realize is that not all desires are necessarily bad. In fact, many desires are God-given. It is only when we take them to the extreme, that they can become sinful. Take for example, the desires of sleep, appetite, and sex. All 3 are necessary. Without sleep, we would not be able to function properly. Without an appetite, we would not eat, and thus produce harm to our health. And without sex, there could be no procreation of the human race. You see, these desires in themselves are not sinful. It is only when appetite turns into gluttony, and sleep becomes laziness, and sex produces immorality that they become wrong. The Bible says in Galatians 5 22-23 that part of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 says that God has given us self-control. Just knowing that shows that there is hope for the struggling Christian. I advise reading the Scriptures, praying (Matthew 26:41), and avoding items or places that would cause us to become tempted (Romans 13:14). Pray that God would give you strength to overcome temptation, but do your part as well. Also remember, that it is not a sin to be tempted. Sin occurs only when we give in to the temptation. Like someone once said, "I can't keep a flock of birds from landing on my head, but I can keep them from building a nest there."

* 1 Peter 2 : 11....Dearly beloved , I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims , abstain from fleshly lust , which wars against the soul .........* James 1 : 14 - 16 .. But every man is tempted , when he is drawn away of his own lust , and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived , it bringeth forth sin : and sin , when it is finished , bringeth forth death ...* Matthew 5 : 27 - 28 .. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time , THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY : But I say unto you , That whosoever looketh on a woman to "lust" after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart ....** Your Prayer to overcome this will have to come from your heart , asking God for guildance and wisdom . If you are not serious , do not ask God for help , as you must love God more than your desire. God Bless with Peace and Understanding......

Answer 5

Probably, but I suggest you watch the movie Jesus Christ Super Star and listen to the music.
Desire can be beautiful or alarming, so if it is alarming and you can't solve it one way or another, get some professional counseling. I will help.
Also, what you call lust can be seen as the perfectly normal feelings of different adrenaline's and hormones running wild in your body. It is part of the maturing process ladies and gentlemen go through as they become sexual human beings.
Talk to the others about it, openly like your mother if you can. If not, find some people you can talk to. But do yourself a favor and talk to a professional in a medical setting.

Answer 6

Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Proverbs 6:25
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Romans 1:23-25 (King James Version)

23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26-28 (King James Version)

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

here are a few things where the bible talks about lust i hope this will help you. and no there isnt a prayer that will help but you can pray that God can deliever you from that spirt and he will help you. i am not saying that it is easy but you can pray for help every day and God will help you. :)
