From Paul Tripp:

For the child of God, life in a fallen world will be one big worship war. Even though we’ve been given the Holy Spirit and the ability to worship the Creator at all times, our sinful nature will fight to worship the created world.
So how can you be a better soldier? How are you going to keep your heart focused and your worship pure? How are you going to make sure that you don’t waste your life in pursuit of created things?
Pay close attention here: you can’t win this war of worship. You don’t have the ability to free yourself from the myriad of idols that seek to lay claim on your heart. But you’re not alone, and you’re not hopeless.
Jesus came to break the back of your idolatry. Jesus came to free you from your addiction to the shadow glories of the created world. Start right here, right now by crying out for His help. Admit that you’re magnetized by a whole catalog of god-replacements, and ask Jesus to intervene on your behalf.
