You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You.—Isaiah 26:3

Purge the old leaven that you may be fresh dough, still uncontaminated, for Christ.—1 Corinthians 5:7
If you have habits or hindrances in your life that are fouling you up, get rid of them. Do it now! If you are serious about growing in the Lord and reaching a maturity of faith, read Matthew 5:29-30, then draw from the grace of God to make the changes you need to make.

Receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline of wise thought-fullness, righteousness, justice, and integrity.—Proverbs 1:3
When we get moody, we do and say weird things, or neglect our responsibilities. [ex: “I’m in a bad mood. Just leave me alone.”] You will enjoy your day more when you discipline yourself to do what you believe instead of what you feel. Ask God to help you control your moods.

A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life.—Proverbs 15:4
No one is completely mature in the Lord, so there is always room for improvement. If your mouth is out of control, other areas of your life will also be out of control. Ask God to direct the words you speak. Allow Him to fill your mouth with words of life that lift up those around you.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own under-standing. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.—Proverbs 3:5-6
Following God is not a part-time lifestyle. 1 Peter 5:8 teaches that we are to cautious at all times because the devil looks for opportunities to devour us. But God gives us grace to withstand the devil. Be rooted, strong, immovable, and determined knowing God will make you what you ought to be. [see 1 Peter 5:9-10]
