In this journey we call life, it is wise to have others on your side. We are not meant to live life as a Lone Ranger, trying to maneuver through the pitfalls that come up in life. You can choose to continue struggling on your own or find a good Bible-believing church. We often try to fool ourselves into thinking we can pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. This won’t take you where you want to be. I suggest you need an accountability partner. Many people would love to walk alongside you. If you do not have a church you are attending now, I encourage you to find a good Bible-believing church, and someone there will likely be willing to mentor you as an accountability partner.

Accountability Partner?

Our first type of “accountability partner” is our parents. After that, it can be that of a big brother, big sister, cousin, friend, or, to an extent, coach, teacher, pastor, or counselor. It is wise to find a mentor to bounce ideas off and better understand why you should or should not do certain things. A mentor has the experience (life mileage) to know right from wrong. (assuming that your mentor is a Christian). Sexual accountability can be very beneficial if you have someone you can trust. That is wise to direct you in the right direction—without accountability in sexuality areas, working out at the gym, alcohol, and drugs, and budgeting money. We all need an accountability partner.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
