Thanks to all who have (and who may still) pray with me for conquering this demon. I am very grateful. bcshelvsme you have worded it well, my need to have the Lord as the corner stone of my life - I fell into this sin last night after an old trick of the devil that has got me before; lulling me into complacency and leaving the way open for his temptations. Adoring1, that is a great way of looking at it when you said that 2 different thoughts cannot live in the same mind at the same time. Memorizing scripture I admit, is something I have not really done yet, but I think I will make the effort to memorize more than I know (which if I am honest is minimal). Thank you both for your input.
