Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh. (Romans 13:14)
Are you struggling with giving in to your sinful desires? The answer is to put on Jesus, just like you put on your clothes each morning. How do you do this? Start by praying to God right away. Ask Him to cover you, protect you, and guide you. Open the Bible and read it out loud. Meditate on the verses and talk to God about them.
Also, remove anything from your life that makes it easy to sin. For example, if you struggle with alcohol, take it out of your home and avoid places where it is present. Do not make it easier to fall by keeping things in your life that lead you to sin. Remove the triggers and rely on God's strength to walk in freedom.
