Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.
Timothy KellerTo pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.
Timothy KellerEvery one of our sinful actions has a suicidal power on the faculties that put that action forth. When you sin with the mind, that sin shrivels the rationality. When you sin with the heart or the emotions, that sin shrivels the emotions. When you sin with the will, that sin destroys and dissolves your willpower and your self-control. Sin is the suicidal action of the self against itself. Sin destroys freedom because sin is an enslaving power.
Timothy Keller
