My mind is full of lustful thoughts and i think the devil is trying to put me into a dark place . Im not a bad or sick person but my mind is overwhelm [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm thinking I'm leaving God down over my troubled mind at the moment . It's not gone bad as to hurt someone or take advantage of someone cause I'm not that type of person to do that .
But I must say my mind is overwhelmed with lustful thoughts and I'm thinking it's the Devil down stairs trying to put me into a dark place .
I feel good most of the time during the day but at some stage in the day a lustful thought comes into my mind and has me grabbed
I'm 38 I'm single , I went through hardships with ex , a very painful experience . It ended up sour at the end , very toxic and I'm just wondering is there a connection between the 2 . The lustful thoughts and the bad break up . It's a long time since I broke up but I never got over it properly. I find and not being biased to woman I found she was very cold person and only noticed it when I broke up with her . I did like also but at the end it was uncalled for .
There was one woman who had great interest in me and I pulled myself out cause I've had a fear that it would turn out like that.
So I stayed away from the woman and my mind got very lustful when being on my own. I'm not saying all woman are like that but I met some bad apple ones (full of mind games) it's there insecurities.

If you seek refuge from this crazy world, talk to Jesus.

I've used this over and over, very successfully. We must never underestimate the power of prayer. When we are overwhelmed, that means we've taken on way too much for ourselves. Make a conscious effort to put yourself first and get the rest you need. Instead of focusing on the problem, put your focus on God. Keep your eyes on Jesus and things that have to do with Him. Trust in Him and His promise, that He will always be there for you. I know He's never let me down, in 45 years of knowing Him, and I've been in the worst storms. What He's done for me, He'll do for you. He has no "favorites". Just ask. This is the way you build your faith, by trusting. He is trust-worthy.

When Peter, from the bible, stepped out of the boat, towards Jesus, as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, he did not sink beneath the angry waves of the storm. But the moment he took his eyes off Jesus, fear set in and he began to sink. Keep your eyes upon Jesus. He stills the "storm" inside us. His Spirit brings peace and comfort. Let Him have your every fear. He will work it out.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26:3
