It is difficult for man to be in this world and not OF this world. So much of our daily lives interfere (to the delight of the fallen ones) with our ability to keeps our eyes, ears, tongue and thoughts focused on God.  @wikipiques, thank you for scripture. We must take each new day and begin with quiet humbled prayer. Praise God in all things. Read the word every day (I fall short so often.) Keep the faith fellow Patriots. In the end, God wins.
