Philippians 4:8. If you are feeling unloved in a relationship, you need to think on the good things of God to show you the way. Above all do not separate yourself from Christian believers. Stay in church, stay under the word and allow peace to have her perfect work in you. Jesus is peace. Allow Him to reign in your heart, mind and soul. Think on whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, Whatever things are lovely, what ever things are of good report.

2 Corinthians 10:4. If we are looking for how to have self-control in our lives, most quick-fix plans focus on breaking our habits. Examples of quick-fix plans include smoking patches, diet pills, seminars, and so on. These quick-fix plans focus on our habits, when the real problem is in our mind and thoughts. The Bible teaches us that the real battle for self-control is in our mind . The bad habits that we have are really symptoms of sinful strongholds in our mind. What most of us think are bad habits are also considered to be sin to God.

Philippians 4:8. A person having Christian Virtues must meditate on these virtues and practice these virtues every day in order to maintain self-control. Philippians 4:8 say to think on “... whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; ...”. By us meditating on Christian virtues we will start practicing them. If we meditate on God's truth in the Bible, we will start acting on His truths.

2 Kings 5:11. It is in our human nature to come up with good excuses not to obey God. One of the most subtle excuses we can give when God calls us is to say that “this is not God's way”. The Bible has many examples where people resisted God's calling because they had preconceived ideas about God. Naaman, a mighty General in the Syrian Army, almost missed God's blessing because of his preconceived ideas about God. In this example, Naaman desired to be cured of leprosy and Elisha, a man of God, gave Naaman instruction via way of a messenger on how to be cured of leprosy.

Acts 24:25. Many of us have good excuses for not fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. For us that our ambitious or prosperous the best excuse is that doing God's purpose in our lives is not convenient. This is what happened when Felix, the Roman Governor, met with the Apostle Paul and received God's Word. Felix listened to Paul's words concerning righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, but Felix did not act on God's Word.

Romans 1:21. The nature vs nurture debate is based on vain imagination lacking the knowledge of God. Now why do I say this? Many great scholars have studied this argument, but did they consider the all-powerful nature of God as a factor in influencing the nature of a person? If you make the argument that it is just in someone's nature to be a thief or a murderer, this argument implies that God is not all-powerful. If you take the argument that a person is nurtured by their environment to be a homosexual or habitual liar, again, how can God be all-powerful and this argument be true?

Psalms 1:2. Through prayer we shall prosper in spiritual warfare. The prayer that God desires from us comes from the heart. When we delight in prayer and seek God's truth day and night, we will prosper (Psalms 1:2-3, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper").

Psalms 10:4. People that are self-centered are absorbed in themselves. They have no room in their heart for God. Self-centered persons are under strong delusions that they can handle ever situation. They are too ignorant or prideful to seek God for their needs and for His wisdom. God is not in the thoughts of a self-centered person (Psalms 10:4, "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.").

Acts 23:1. It is correct to say that someone is in good conscience if they live up to their conscience's standards. Paul said that he was in good conscience even before he became a Christian believer. (Acts 23:1, "And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."). Paul said he was in good conscience even when he persecuted Christians. He said this because he followed his conscience diligently.

1 Timothy 1:5. Ideally, for a person's conscience to be good it needs to be based on faith and love. If you have faith in God, then His Truth and commandments (standards), the gospel of Jesus Christ, will be written in your heart (1 Timothy 1:5, "Now the end of the commandment is charity (love) out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:").
