My Purity Plan

The following are key components necessary to live a life of sexual purity. To get the most out of this purity plan, print this page using the 'Printer-friendly page' feature at the bottom of the page. Then go over the plan with a counselor, friend, or pastor to help you shape each component to your specific situation. Do not attempt to travel the path to purity alone! No one makes it alone...

Daily Plan

   a. Battle Logging (writing down specific purity struggles from the day)
