Battles are won or lost in the mind.
The usual pattern is 1. Thoughts 2. Decisions 3. Actions 4. Consequences.
Following the losing trail is a vortex of sin that takes us away from God.
Our minds make trails, the thought processes that we dwell on become habits.
A look at 3 areas this battle is faced.
1. Fear and worry.
2. Relationships - assuming about people.
3. Lust - passionate desire for the forbidden.
The answer to win the battle is a renewed mind. Rom 12:1,2.
Repent, confess, and ask God for forgiveness.
