As many times as we have said YES to temptation, to doing something not in the law of true liberty established by God, we have to undo it later with a NO, perhaps even fourfold times. Habitual sin, evil behavior, proximity to temptation and vice all have to be undone by their virtuous opposites. Each sin is like loading a crate onto a heavy truck. The more a truck weighs, the harder it is to bring it to a stop and reverse direction. All the times we spoke ill of another, drank too much, took a second look... God will allow these to revisit us even after having made a good (even general) confession! Sin brings debt and stain, not just the guilt which is remitted in confession. There is no quick-fix devotion to this accumulation of sin's effects, but much effort and cooperation with grace over time are needed to undo the damage.
