advice

 This is scripture with much good advice for dealing with personal problems
  and shortcomings.

  Ephesians 4:25-32-5:2 (NIV)
  25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to
     his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
  26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are
     still angry,
  27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
  28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing
     something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to
     share with those in need.
  29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what
     is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may
     benefit those who listen.
  30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for
     the day of redemption.
  31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along
     with every form of malice.
  32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as
     in Christ God forgave you.
   1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
   2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up
     for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
