Motivation for Success, or: How to Win?

Daily motivation is one of the most important keys to persevering in true faith.
Many things distract us, take up time, push us away from God.
When we do not notice this process of our disintegration, we disappear, we pass over to the side of the demonic world.
Self-control is an excellent technique, a survival skill.
To use it, we should learn to draw strength and energy from God.
God gives it away for free.
The condition is simple: persevere in true faith. Examine what is true and what is a lie.
Unfortunately, you cannot count on religions in this matter. They are corporations, they have little in common with true faith. They drag their followers towards the abyss.
One form of self-control is to draw joy from Bible verses.
Here are some of them:

„For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand. Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit — which is the word of God.” – Ephesians 6:13-17.
