2) How to overcome lustful thoughts

Hare Krishna,
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain. ( BG 2.20)
Then why to worry about what is not in your hands?
Past is also gone. You cannot change your past. Why to worry for the things which cannot be changed?
What is right now in your hands is the Present time. If you utilize this time properly maybe you can even change the future as per Krishna's will.
Sanchita Karma ( we cannot change as they are accumulated since past many lives) , Praradbha karma ( those karma which you are facing right now) they are bound to be faced. Aaagami Karma ( could be changed because they have not yet ripened.
By complete faith in the process of Krishna consciousness one can change your Aagami Karma.
Why you have to fear when Krishna is there for us? You need to strengthen you faith in Krishna.
Hare Krishna
As far as your lustful thoughts how to overcome.
Jai Srila Prabhupada.
1) With such thinking you wouldn't gain anything but lose the only time you can use constructively and that is "present".
2) By satiating your mind with thoughts about Krishna.This can entail many things like Krishna katha,chanting the holy name,reading scriptures etc.
