It takes no effort to create a bad habit. But it take intentional effort to create a good habit. In the same sense: It takes no effort to fall into sin. But it takes effort to do right. Unconscious effort compared to conscience effort. When we try to overcome negativity, temptation, sinful thoughts, bad habits on our own we fall prey to the “Victim Rut.” We must wage war on our minds and replace lies with the truth, and then rewire by declaring this truth over and over again.
