    You say give it to your mother. Are you saying God is Woman?

    Romans 7:15-20
    New King James Version
    15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

    What does it mean to “surrender into my mother’s arms”?…Mary being that mother. She’s not God, she isn’t omniscient, so she can’t hear prayers, and she couldn’t possibly know who I am. Please explain.

    Your editing style is soo unique❄❤

  12. @BrosRight on April 20, 2025 at 8:21 pm

    I may be a Hindu, but the ideas and thoughts presented on your channel is outstanding. Many of my friends may not watch this or more of your videos as it focuses more on christiantiy. But i myself believe in open mindedness, and believe we should learn good things no matter if its your enemy or not something you relate to.
    May Shri Krishna be with you, and stay by your side.

  13. @marcocopololo on April 20, 2025 at 8:21 pm

    God bless you

    Please pray for me ive been struggling for awhile and i have a good accountability group but I keep giving in and I want it to stop.

  17. @johnfrancis3203 on April 20, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    What if I live in chronic pain and that’s my main trigger?

  18. @FFPM371 on April 20, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    Great video. Thank you.

  19. @lnyourwildestdreams on April 20, 2025 at 8:26 pm

    There is no “mother” there is Jesus! I really liked this channel until now. Can’t stand another heretic catholic with “mother”.

  20. @PS-on7jm on April 20, 2025 at 8:27 pm

    My sexual temptation says to me that I need to go into temptation to beat it. So if there is a woman who is tempting , then I should speak to her. But then later I get the consequences that I can’t stop thinking about her and then it is much harder to stop. Maybe it is also a temptation that I should expose myself into temptation. And maybe I should beat that. Although there is such a strong desire. I am a little bit confused on this point. On the other hand when I prayed about not exposing myself into sexual temptation, I felt real peace, maybe this is my answer. Also Jesus said that you should not look at a women with adultourous eyes, but when going into temptation this is exactly what happens, so this is the already a sin.

    I sinned today. Bridger Estell of Choteau Montana is my lifelong best friend. I really want to get married.

  23. @autumnvibes777 on April 20, 2025 at 8:28 pm

    its correct that we might surrender to the one with infinite power,,but its not mother mary…..its JESUS….he will actually help u conquer if u surrender to him..

  24. @mysterylaso6678 on April 20, 2025 at 8:30 pm

    At first I was reading the Bible with a lot of excitement like a kid with hope, later on the temptation came back harder and my porn addiction just kept coming back, I started to pray less and felt so distant from God to the point that every decision I was making felt off and so confusing. Even when I’m driving I can see the road but everything kept twisting ( the best I could describe it) but one thing I knew is that the moment I give up on the lord is when I’m truly dead, so I cracked open the Bible and just started reading about Jesus wherever I can and earnestly pray and I can say now I feel connected and comforted by his presence 24/7. I will still be tempted ofc lol but I won’t go through it alone. Stay blessed every one, all glory to God

    I want to leave my adiction of sex

    Thank you for this. You are a blessing.

    Keep these powerful videos going❤

  28. @Mokujin__ on April 20, 2025 at 8:41 pm

    This video is great, but I’m not christian and will never be! But it’s still useful, so thanks

  29. @StartEnd-n2m5m on April 20, 2025 at 8:42 pm

    the best thing you can do is fast
    fasting is denying your humanly desires but not just fasting and praying (the bible tells us how to fast)

  30. @D.A.-Espada on April 20, 2025 at 8:45 pm

    And then all of a sudden, Mary. Jesus is the only way to the Father. He said so Himself

  31. @333gigi on April 20, 2025 at 8:45 pm

    I might delete this because I feel sick to my stomach, I feel like a total failure. Been struggling with it since I was a little girl and I just keep failing God, I just don’t know what to do.

  32. @andrewlee5421 on April 20, 2025 at 8:46 pm

    I keep coming back to this everytime I feel weak and the truths give me strength! So thank you! 🙂

    People With Strong Urge Will Not Have This Much Patience To Watch A Whole Of 10 Min Video

  34. @godsservant12 on April 20, 2025 at 8:48 pm

    5:19 my mother is Wisdom not Mary! Go deep into the Word to catch this revelation

  35. @Deejay_- on April 20, 2025 at 8:49 pm

    Easier said than done but, his word tells us to run from temptation. Run to God in prayer for his name is a fortified tower and the righteous shall run to it and be safe. You flee from temptation and the enemy will flee from you because you surrender yourself in God’s presence.

  36. @Anabo629 on April 20, 2025 at 8:51 pm

    What i struggle the most is that sometimes it the thought just comes to me and impulsively i give in!!

  37. @FollowerofChristWithaTopHat on April 20, 2025 at 8:53 pm

  40. @jlovesfutures on April 20, 2025 at 8:59 pm

    I needed this, I’m not in a specifically rough time but its a good reminder of how much god loves us.

  41. @danielpieterse8264 on April 20, 2025 at 9:00 pm

    We also have to acknowledge that once something is an addiction, you no longer have to be tempted to do it as your body and mind expect it to happen as a given. It happens cyclically and automatically – the treatment then is not just resistance but rewiring those habits – you’ll have to sit with it and work hard to undo it, but it can be done. And there’s always help. We often think we have to fight things alone but we don’t and we shouldn’t.

  42. @Jithin_Jose_ on April 20, 2025 at 9:00 pm

    _Temptation is defined as anything that leads us away from what is actually good, true, loving, or life-giving [__00:37__]_

    Here’s my breakdown of the 10 tips:

    1. *Know your enemy:*
    Identify your temptations, both obvious and not-so-obvious ones [01:06]. Examples of obvious temptations include lust, laziness, anger, money, etc. Not-so-obvious temptations include overthinking, discouragement, doubt, negativity, overworking, resentment, etc. [01:13].

    2. *Know your triggers:*
    Recognize what sets off your temptations, such as a person, place, thing, mood, or feeling like boredom, idleness, etc. [01:51]. The video suggests that 99.9% of triggers come from our phones [02:05]. Remove and avoid the triggers you can, and have a plan for the ones you can’t [02:14].

    3. *Make your stand at the door:*
    Temptation starts with a thought, then imagination, excitement, attraction, and finally consent [02:56]. Stop it at the thought stage [03:05].

    4. *It will pass:*
    Remind yourself that any temptation will pass [03:33]. The video suggests setting a timer for 23 minutes and doing something else [03:48] that you enjoy (essentially, substituting it with sin).

    5. *Surrender:*
    When your own strength isn’t enough, surrender to a higher power [04:17]. The video uses the analogy of placing an out-of-control puppy in its mother’s arms to become calm [04:40]. Surrender your will to Mother Mary to calm it down.

    6. *Temptations are good:*
    Temptations reveal our weaknesses, build strength, keep us humble, boost confidence by beating your demons, and help us rise above ourselves [05:36].

    7. *Get to the roots:*
    Don’t just focus on succeeding or failing at a temptation, but find the root cause [06:47]. This could be idleness, boredom, a lack of purpose, etc. [07:01].

    8. *Endure:*
    It won’t happen overnight but you will master temptations over time by taking one step at a time (hour by hour, day by day, week by week, & so on, & so on) with calm, patient, and brave endurance [07:32] make it a habit.

    9. *Face temptations:*
    Don’t run away from temptations, but face them and take control [08:07]. You’re not alone, you got God & his army on your side.

    10. *When you fall:*
    don’t beat yourself up, but pick yourself up and keep going [09:00]. Listen to Jesus who’s in the dirt with you, He loves you & lifts you up with compassion and forgiveness [09:19].
