Temptation hits hard either morning noon or night. When that happens we should practice SRR. SRR is Scripture, Repent, and Replace.
Scripture: Search “verses _______.” Fill in the blank with the temptation. Then read these verses and pray over them until temptation stops.
Repent: If we don’t repent of all sin, and start to have a plan to stop it… Temptation will keep happening. Sin leads to sin.
Replace: Stop doing activities that lead directly to temptation. Have a list of cleaner activities. These new activities are not for fun. They are our work. They will not be fun until we “dry out” from the negative effects of the habit.
Second, change activities that tend to lead to temptation. Example, risky TV shows lead to lust. Lust lowers our ability to fight _______. Replace risky shows with something clean.
Write down three activities that make your temptation higher.
1. ______________
2. ______________
3. ______________
Write down new activities to replace these risky activities.
1. ______________
2. ______________
3. ______________
Finally, practice SRR with the amount of time you have. If you are out and about, practicing it for 2 minutes might be perfect (Have specific verses in your phone).
If you are home where temptation might last for hours, spend some time with this technique. You might even have to go back to it several times. But, if you want a great life, go back to it as often as needed.
SRR crushes temptation. SRR puts you directly on a path toward a great life.
