When we turn to God every day, he begins to overcome our weaknesses and build up our strengths. He draws out the potential that he created in us, molding us ever more perfectly into his image and likeness. Slowly but surely, we find ourselves able to resist temptation. We find his grace shielding us from the devil, and the devil fleeing from us as a consequence. Power and influence outside of God lose their attraction. Relationships that turn our eyes away from God are drained of their power. Our fulfillment and strength come from the Lord and his grace more and more.
