Sin is fighting with God. When we commit a sinful act, we push ourselves away from the Lord, and this leads to misfortunes, troubles, diseases. And then it is worth thinking: how to get rid of sin, how to overcome it?
Instructions
Step 1
Pray to the Lord. Only he can give strength to resist temptation. In your prayer, ask for spiritual strength and protection from sin. Observance of Orthodox fasts will humble the flesh and direct the mind to prayer. It is useful to cleanse the soul with the sacrament of repentance and the reception of Holy Communion. The priest will tell you how best to improve life for the better.
Step 2
Do manual labor. The Holy Fathers say that the root of all evil is laziness and idleness. Moderate exertion will direct thoughts in the right direction and allow you to escape from any sinful thoughts.
Step 3
Avoid temptation. We must try not to get into places that lead us to temptation, not to read seductive books, not to watch such films. Let the Bible become your reference book, which can be read in the morning, before going to bed, and on public transport. Seductive clothing, gestures, and free dances also lead to temptation.
Step 4
Try to talk less idly. Chatting about anything with other people, it is very easy to fall into the sin of condemning your neighbor, vanity, pride. Empty talk leads to gossip, envy, and various temptations.
Step 5
In general, almost any sin is rooted in pride. It is because of our sense of our own importance and significance that we condemn, contradict, magnify our actions. You need to be humble, humble and remember that any of us is nothing before the power of God.
Step 6
Be patient. Where there is no patience, there will be no love. One must calmly endure the shortcomings of others and their mistakes. There are no sinless people in the world, try to forgive and forget the bad. This will give you peace of mind and inner peace.
Step 7
Do not despair. It is impossible to get rid of sins immediately and completely. To do this, you will have to go through a huge spiritual path, falling and rising again.
