To fight sin strike first. We read that Joseph fled from the sinful woman, but that is only a small part of the story. Young Joseph was not like young David. No great feats from him. But Joseph knew what the Bible said about lust. To quit, study what the Bible says about it more often. Second, Joseph was preparing with prayer "before" the temptation happened. He knew, just like we know, that certain situations are often filled with temptation. He knew that he had to have a habit of "running from lust," because if he didn't, sin would get him.
To run from lust, change what you think is beautiful. Today, 500 days clean, I think that a woman on TV who stays modest is the most beautiful woman. Today, I know, that the woman who blatantly leads others into sin is not attractive to me. Consider praying:
"Father, help me to know who is beautiful."
Second, anticipate sinful scenes, and be ready to pray to "Turn aggressively from sin" before they start. Then run when they start.
Know your sin traps. Know when you are walking up to a trap. Have a plan on exactly what you will do when you stumble in front of a sin trap.
Third, satan loves working on a dedicated Christian who just has a few choice fantasies that they love to replay in their mind from time to time. Instead, pray that Jesus will take them out of your mind and heart. When we give satan an inch, he always tries to take a mile.
2 Timothy 2:22 Run away from youthful lusts—pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
