Just when you think you conquered your lust, it puts on a new dress and temptation begins all over again. I know I don’t need it, but self sure tells me I do; and so I must again preach to self the sufficiency of Christ. Also I tell myself that the little shuffle is sufficing just fine.
Never allow yourself to think you have completly won the battle with a certain temptation. If it has been a “long time” since, do not become proud and self-reliant but offer up prayers of thankgiving and petitions for future grace to say no to redressed sin.
No Other Boast 
I am often found in the same destress. I have to constantly remind my self (flesh) or my Spirit already knows by The LORD is holy, and my sin is a personal affront to him. It angers him and his wrath bruns against sinners (of whom I am a chief).
