Our choice!
As time goes by and if people (especially children) do not renew their mind with God’s word, their unrenewed mind will grow stronger and be difficult to manage as they grow up.
Simple applications:
Use time wisely.
Renew our mind with God’s word.

Diligently study God’s word.

James 1:19-20 (TEV)
19 Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. 20 Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose.
James 4:1-3 (NKJV)
1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Our choice!
If a person is praying, asking God to deliver them from the enemy; and at the same time not abiding in God’s word, who is responsible for not being delivered?
In other words, the choice not to abide in God’s word is an enemy, and we do this to ourselves without the enemy’s involvement. Can we be our own worst enemy?
We cannot blame the enemy for our wrong choices. God’s word says, “abide in Me, and My words abide in you”. (Abide G3306 means, remain, continue)
Simple applications:
Ask according to His will.
Allow His words to abide in us.
Be friends to ourselves.
1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the cares (G3308) of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
3308, from <G3307> (merizo) (through the idea of distraction); solicitude: - care.
