Sex is Not the Problem (lust is) by Joshua Harris..... I am currently reading this amazing devotion and I highly highly recommend it to all teenagers. I mean, we ALL struggle with lust and this devotion really gets down to the bottom of things and helps us to conquer lust. Joshua Harris really reads minds in this devotion! He literally describes what we were thinking our how we are feeling. He is a really gifted and talented author and he also shares some of his struggles too and also how he conquered them. Anyway, every teenager needs to read this! This next part is not my words, but is a commentary on the devotion from online:

Whatever is Lovely
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praise-worthy, meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8

Psalm 4:8
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

I will bless the Lord at ALL times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

Psalm 37:7,8,9
Rest in the Lord; and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
