Lust
JAMES
1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.
1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed.
1:15 Then when lust bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Lust is something that everyone is faced with at some point. However, those truly blessed are those that have the strength to turn away. Work on being strong and avoid situations that you know can/will put you in contact with objects of desire/lust.

Praying For Others
Praying for others when it seems as if it is a lost cause. Sometimes it seems as if it is pointless, and the person may not deserve your prayers....however:
You will find in 1 Samuel-
12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way
