       Number four, It may be necessary for some of you, especially those of you who have a real difficult struggle with sexual immorality or temptation, that you have an accountability partner who can help keep you accountable. The person should be a man, who of course is a Christian. You shouldn't pick a woman because she will not completely understand your thoughts like a man will. The man can relate because he is a man and has, to some degree, the same struggles. So, you can meet with this person, say, once a week, or every other week, as you are working to become better in this area. Once you get better, perhaps the meeting can move to once a month. But nonetheless, you should talk about your struggles and pray about them, and your friend should keep you accountable in following God's Word. Honesty is key in your meetings, or the meetings won't do you any good. James said in his epistle, “confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (James 5:16, ESV). Talking with others can help us with our problems, and prayer will definitely help us.
