When faced with a difficult situation, I try to remember that I am powerless over lust and remind myself that although it always seems like a good idea, escaping from reality had never solved any problems before, and in fact, had just dug me deeper into the hole I find myself in. Instead, I text a friend, letting him know I am surrendering the obsession to Hashem, and add a short tefillah asking Him to remove my deficiencies and help me with this particular challenge.

Hi, I have been working on my surrender in my daily live. Saying the serenity prayer often. I find it helps me in amazing ways. I also utilize the CODA serenity prayer which goes like this: "God grant me the serenity to accept the PEOPLE I cannot change, the courage to change the ONE that I can, and the wisdom to know that it is ME."

A VISION FOR YOU
We realize we know only a little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven't got. See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us.
Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.
May God bless you and keep you-until then.
