As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word,
that ye may grow thereby: (1 Peter 2.2)

you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what ye
will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15.7)
3. Daily confession

If
we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us.
If we

sins, and
to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.

John 1.8-9)

temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man: but God is

but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be
able to bear it.

Corinthians
10.13)
