HAVE HEALTHY OUTLETS

something. Pray with a friend, listen to audio Bible, recite Bible verses out loud, just keep your mind busy because "idle hands are the devil's workshop" - Proverbs 16:2.

GET AN ACCOUNTABILITY PAL
This may be hard to do but it’s good to have someone you can talk to about your struggles, someone you can trust (trust is KEY) & who'll keep confidence. This is about accountability. This person may have to be a Counselor, Minister, Pastor or leader.

PRAY, PRAY AGAIN & PRAY SOME MORE
You probably may have prayed for God to take your masturbation away but it appeared He didn’t. Well, pray again & pray more. Pray until something happens. Pray until you lose the desire to have that self sexual gratifying urge.
