Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
"One great power of sin is that it blinds men so that they do not recognize its true character. Even Christians find an excuse in the thought that he or she can never be perfect and that daily sin is a necessity. He or she is so accustomed to the thought of sinning that he or she has almost lost the power and ability of mourning over sin."
Andrew Murray
"All that has come from Him has been unjustly loved if He has been abandoned. You seek the happy life in the region of death. How can there be a happy life where there is no life?"
Augustine
"Bring your problems to God and stay with him while he solves them, then God Himself and the solution of your problems will be forever your own."

"Do not try to understand what God is doing from the middle of your situation"
Dr. Frederick G. Sampson
"Our children aren't saying much about Satan's seduction in their lives because most of them don't know that he's at the heart of
it. Satan is the great deceiver. He doesn't march into their lives accompanied by a brass band. He slyly worms his way in
through the opportunities they and we give him. And since kids haven't been taught what the Bible says about Satan's strategies,
they blame themselves, and their sense of guilt and fear of punishment further contributes to their silence."
Neil Anderson
"If the salvation we offer does not include deliverance for this kind of sin, how can we expect it to provide deliverance for the many other dispositions and drives of our natural fallen state? The whole point of the gospel is that God not only forgives but that he does indeed give deliverance from sin."
Robertson Mcquilkin
"When our sense of guilt is taken away because our consciences are cleansed by the blood of Christ, we are freed up to love him with all our hearts and souls and minds."
Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace (1994)
"Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do – living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
1 Peter 4:1-4
"Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word."
Psalm 119:36-37
"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person
doing
it." - Chinese Proverb
"You are what you repeatedly do." - Aristotle
