1 Peter 4:7

The end and culmination of all things is near. Therefore, be sound minded and self-controlled for the purpose of prayer (staying balance and focused on the things of God so that your communication will be clear, reasonable, specific and pleasing to Him).

The pressure will increase to conform to the world as the end nears. Keeping our minds strong and renewed in the Word of God is essential. The flesh may want to react in fear, but our spirit remains strong through its connection with the Holy Spirit and the Bible. We will keep our balance with prayer and focus on the Word.
