I don't judge you Purpose! I care. "Heavenly Father, hear Purposes heart, and grant her lungs serenity. Give her strength to kick the smoking that's been , perhaps, causing all her choking. Let her breath, be fresh and clean.....without a trace of Nicotine, but also Lord show her yourself as the Glory of yourself is seen on the upper shelf. Help her finish the overcome, so she never has to go numb to your power to overcome in your Son! In your name Amen!"

God bless Purpose keep on keeping' on! Yes, God will have your back......lungs.......kids....and future! God bless you richly Sista!

I have tried this multiple times in the past and have failed. I need this place and your support to do this and hopefully it will help someone else. I'm slowly listing the top 10 reasons why I HAVEN'T quit. Then a reason that shows this is bogus and following that with a Word of strength and courage from scripture. Join me in this endeavor if you'd like, I'd love your input.
Here's the first one:

#1 I'm too stressed to quit.

Bogus! If I can't handle stress in day to day living, what on earth makes me think I can handle Cancer?

Scripture: These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33 NKJV

Through Jesus and Jesus through me, I WILL quit this time and stay free! Prayers needed. 50-year-old Student
Dear Father In Heaven

Please be with our Sister student and give her the victory over smoking and Your strength to resist the temptations when they come along. You are able to help her do this and we praise and thank You for deliverance that she will surely have. In Jesus Name Amen.

Father

One more prayer for anyone reading this thread that wants to quit smoking please impress upon them that You will be with them throughout the process and You will give Your strength and power to enable them to resist the temptations that come their way. Hold their hands throughout the process and give them the urgency needed to make the change to better health in Your power. Thank You Father for the victory You hold out to each one that commits their lives to You. In Jesus Name Amen.

I am one who knows from personal experience how strong addictions are, I know what it's like to need your fix to even go to great lengths to get it. I can't tell you how many times the enemy has whispered that I am not strong enough that this addiction has me under it's power how there seems to be no end to it and no sign of overcoming it.

My response to him was this- you say I cannot overcome you say this addiction has power over me, then Let me show you just what blind faith can do. True my addiction is very strong but God is stronger

I have just finished two very powerful books...In His Steps..It may be an older book, but it's got a good message. The other, The Cross & the Switchblade. It was the latter that I learned the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome addictions and I knew that I knew I was on the right path...I'm done with it all! Thank you so much for all of your blessings! I'm touched and happy to know others are supported too. Blessings!

Purpose: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"! Keep the gospel front and center...even if you have to rewrite it! I did that once. As a "Quit Smoking Devotional". I got discouraged by someone and started smoking, but it WAS working. So does prayer. Mine are with you...

I just realized it's a One Month Anniversary!!!! (plus a day...) Thank you, Jesus!!!!
Praise the Father and the Holy Spirit, apart from which I can do nothing. I pray for Purpose and all those who would like to quit this or any other addiction or habit, that they might know through you there is no anxiety, no pain, all we must do is let you work in us and through us. Thank you Lord! -Amen student

Let us always be aware of our enemy. He is like a cunning lion waiting for his prey to get weak. May we always be wiser and stronger than our enemy. For if we give up destruction will follow. May God sustain those who stuggle with addiction. It is God who is hurting more when we commit sin for He loves us all so much and when we sin we destroy ourselves and wander away from God.
