I made a promise to God that I was going to put aside movies and storybooks(two things which I loved most) if he would draw closer to me.Yet it is so difficult for me and I can't stop either. But Ecclesiastes 5:4 says When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed And so I feel like I am trapped and I always end up watching,first I started with cartoons because I told myself they donot count as movies and before I knew it I was back to movies. And whenever I go to the school library the book are so inviting I end up reading because these two are what I love. But to love anything more than God is sin what do I do?

Is it a sin to want to be someone great and important when you grow? In terms of being a preacher, or doctor. Are these thoughts considered as pride, or lust for recognition? Thanks in Advance, Gershom

How do you keep your prayer life and your devotions from becoming monotonous, and ritualistic? I want to have good devotions in the morning, but when I pray about the same things, it just seems to become a ritual. What do I do?

I am a 16 year old boy and Ghanaian, however I live currently in the UK. I have struggled many years with sexual desires. I have even been in the entangling of masturbation before and through Christ I have overcome.However I still have flashes of the images of the nudity related movies,pictures.and even girls I have done immoral things with.And I don't know how to get these out. I have filtered what I watch,read,listen and play but to no avail,how do I stop these thoughts.Secondly how do I know when it is right to think of the opposite sex as more than a friend?

If we have to go to church and stuff on sabbath how do we keep it and spend the rest of the time? do i read the bible all day until sunset or watch movies?soon im going to run out of things to do so its going to get quite boring and repetitive.
