       As we’ve talked about in the past, speaking God’s Word is good for us in overcoming sinful habits in our lives, things we have been struggling with on a daily basis. Let’s say, for instance, that you struggle with lust, and most people do. So, you might take a Bible verse from 1 Corinthians 6, which says, “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body” (ESV). That’s a good foundational verse. Then I would probably add the next two verses: “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20, ESV). And, so, you create a list of Bible verses that talk about this area of subject. Again, speaking these verses to yourself out loud motivates and encourages you. Remember, there is power behind God’s Word.
