Do not try attacking your faults and weaknesses one by one. It will not work. It is like cutting just the tops off weeds. It's a losing battle. Rather get closer and closer to God in the atmosphere of your mind and spirit, and let His glory burn the evil out of you. Strive to elevate your mind from natural childish interest in temporalities and trifles to the REAL things, the eternal things, the spiritual eternal things, the things that matter and have meaning. The only way is to get more and more of the Word into your mind and thoughts. The written Word of God is unique on earth today. It is gold: all else is dross. It is Spirit: all else is flesh. For overcoming -- and we MUST overcome -- there is absolutely no substitute for a mental attitude of which God is the permanent and conscious center. All else will fail.
