5. Guard yourself against ungodly intrusions: We live in a world that is littered with negative thoughts and behaviours, causing Christians to become angry and question many things. We need to guard against being taken over by these disturbances. Like Jesus told his disciples, pray that you will not fall into temptation (Matt. 26:41). Fill your life with godly matters, read spiritual books and engage in discussions that will not lead to gossip and wrong perceptions.
