Romans

Paul wrote Romans. Romans is full of encouraging things and it tells you to stay in the world but not of it.
It says to give our bodies as sacrifices. But how do we do these things without getting sucked back into the world. Prayer. (Romans 12) To give our bodies as sacrifices we must be holy and perfect. We can't be holy or perfect. Only God sees us as Jesus when we ask Him into our heart. Only afterwards we must strive to be like Jesus. Which means loving other people even when they do not love you back. I know this is a tough one since human nature is me first you last. You know that you might get hurt. You must pray in order to love people who don't love you back. Sometimes we forget to pray or use it as  a last resort. Why not use as the first thing you go to when you have a problem? Things would go a lot smoother if we only did this. Thats all.
