May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
– Romans 15:5-6
A pastor told me, “the battle is in the mind” yes and most of the time our mind as well as emotion fails us. The temptation will start from your mind. And that is how the battle will begin if you are going to give in or not. Thus Romans 15:5-6 pray for us that may God will give us endurance and encouragement within our mind the same with Jesus Christ had. And so with same mind set we are able to glorify God.
I would like to say that I have enjoyed reading your post; and look forward to seeing them in the future.

It is up to you to stay strong, though should you stumble, you will be forgiven, as long as you get back up.
“Watch and pray that you do not give in to temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

So true and Romans 12:2 also says that we are to renew our mind; fill it with God’s word and His truth so we know how to think correctly!!

The divisions among the denominations is itself a symptom of the ongoing battle.
