5. Listen to uplifting, Biblical music. Listening to music that reminds you of God’s love and grace can help keep you focused on Him. Remove all music and tv that contains sexual undertones, and foul meaning. The eyes and ears are the gateway to the soul, keep them pure. -Matthew 6:22-24

8. Focus on loving God and others. When you focus on loving God and being there for others, you’ll be less likely to fall into sin. Devote your free time to the less fortunate, it’s satisfying and God blesses a giving heart with healing.-Colossians 3:23-24
9. Spend time in prayer but also meditate in the word. Spend prayer and meditation time to draw near God and receive His grace and strength. Don’t give up. You won’t be perfect, but don’t let that discourage you. -Psalms 1:2
10. Persevere through the struggle, and remember that God is with you every step of the way. Repent as often as need be but do not get on a habit in using repentance as an excuse to sin against your body. You were bought with a price. So honor your body.- Corinthians 6:19-20
