And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Matthew 11:7 KJV
A reed shaken by the wind — That is, a man of an unstable disposition, of a weak and cowardly conduct?
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:6, 8 KJV
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Isaiah 29:13-15 KJV

But inside, your mind is full of bad thoughts. You like to take things from other people. What fools you are! God made the inside of you as well as the outside. He knows all about you.

Sometimes a good person does what a very bad person wants him to do. It is like when you drink dirty water. It is like when you take water from a dirty well.
Proverbs 25:26 EASY
Repent, beat down the spirit of discouragement, cast out the spirit of distraction and get back on the road of destiny…any other approach you’ve got going will only lead to destruction. These are the times prophecied that the love of many shall wax cold and there would be those departing from the faith. These will not be rapture ready.
It is through genuinely and wholeheartedly giving ourselves to the word of God and yielding to the helps of the Holy Spirit that we can get life right and keep getting better.
How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of your Word. I’m single-minded in pursuit of you; don’t let me miss the road signs you’ve posted. I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won’t sin myself bankrupt. Be blessed, God; train me in your ways of wise living. I’ll transfer to my lips all the counsel that comes from your mouth; I delight far more in what you tell me about living than in gathering a pile of riches. I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you, I attentively watch how you’ve done it. I relish everything you’ve told me of life, I won’t forget a word of it.
Psalm 119:9-16 MSG
The prayer I have for you is that Anything in your life creating a distraction and causing you to lose a sense of destiny, be separated from such in Jesus name!
