Finding Sure Protection From a Satanic Trap-PRAY TO JEHOVAH, AND OBEY HIM

Lean heavily on Jehovah in prayer.  Paul said: "Let your petitions be made known to God; and let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6, 7)   God's peace brings relief in the struggle against sin.  If you draw close to Jehovah, "he will draw close to you." - JAMES 4:8. 

The best protection against any threat is to have the Sovereign of the universe close to you.  Jesus said: "The ruler of the world [Satan] is coming, and he  has not hold on me." (John 14:30)   Why did Jesus have such confidence?  He once explained: "The one who sent me is with me; he did not abandon me to myself, because I always do the things pleasing to him." (John 8:29)  As you do things that please Jehovah,you too will never be abandoned by him.  Avoid the trap of pornography, and Satan will have no lasting hold on you.
