6. When we are alone and idle, the devil often comes to tempt us with impure thoughts and desires In order to lead a chaste and decent life, we should avoid idleness and work diligently and faithfully. Find something useful to do in work or innocent play, and Satan will find less time to tempt you with lustful thoughts. But above all, pray to your heavenly Father that He would guard you in all temptations, that you may overcome and obtain the victory.
7. We should fear and love God that each may love and honor his spouse. Spouse is man or wife, persons who live in holy matrimony, as your parents do. Matrimony is instituted by God, and it is His will that husband and wife should love and honor each other, that they should faithfully live together till death parts them. If one is unfaithful to the other, or leaves the other, he or she commits adultery.
REMEMBER:—
1. God alone can make your heart chaste and keep it clean from sinful lust. Pray to Him: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Ps. 51,10.
2. When temptation comes near you, when you feel in your heart the sinful lust, remember: God is with me, He sees and hears everything I do, even the innermost thoughts of my heart. "How, them, can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" Gen. 39,9.
3. Watch over yourself and keep away from all places where temptation is sure to come. "Flee youthful lusts." 2 Tim. 2,22.
MEMORIZE:—
Let us walk honestly as in the day. Rom. 13,13.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good. Eph. 4,29.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Ps. 51,10.
