I think I need one of those cones of shame dogs wear sometimes to help with this. I'm willing to do anything it takes to not get distracted. But the ability to say "no" is hard sometimes. Drifting is easy. Have to catch it at the beginning and this is when discretion/discernment is needed.

@Mayflower That verse in Proverbs 4 quoted by @runningwings is very similar to Psalm 16.8: "I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." (This is also one of @Pearl's favorite verses, occurring in her header.) :)

PS: @Mayflower: Here's a good Proverbs resource: Proverbs 16-31

Man, farouk. Too many encouraging verse threads huh? The Proverbs are awesome. When I was in Teen Challenge, we read them every morning. It is easy to drift away from healthy habits. Much harder to start one or start one back.

Yes indeed, "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." It is an ongoing battle, but let us give thanks to the Lord for these challenges, for edifications' sake!

May all praise the Lord . A day that ends with Y in the english langauge , IS a day , morning noon or night , TO PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD .
YES IT IS . So lift up those hands and let the LORD be praised .

 

[Psalm51]

"...And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

(Luke 18:13-14)

 

[Psalm51]

"...But he who endures to the end shall be saved..."

(Matthew 24:13)

 

[Psalm51]

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

(John 8:31-32)

 

[Psalm51]

"...But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"–He said to the paralytic, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

(Mark 2:10-12)

@Mayflower Great verse! Ecclesiastes is quite similar to Proverbs, isn't it? :)
