Clothe Yourselves With The Lord Jesus Christ
Romans 13:14

Ask Him to cover you, protect you, and guide you. Open up the Bible and read it out loud. Meditate on verses and communicate with God about them.
Next, remove things in your life that make it easy to sin. For example, if you struggle with alcohol, remove it from your home and avoid going to places where it is present. Don't make it easy to give in to your sinful desires by removing triggers that lead you to sin.

Without Jesus, you are a sla…
