Our Creator is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet work like strong feet and will make me to walk and make progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]
Do you have any addictions?
An addiction is anything that controls a person anything he feels he cannot do without to relieve pain. The pain may be physical, mental, or emotional. Often addictive behavior is an attempt to hide from reality to put off dealing with issues that hurt.
Addictions are not limited to substance abuse. Except for cigarettes, most of my addictions did not fall under the heading of substance abuse. I was addicted to reasoning, worry, judgment, compliments, self-pity, pouting, control, and work.
When I realized I was addicted to these things and determined I was going to break my addictions and discipline myself, everything was great until the pain started. If I had not had the inner strength of our Creator to withstand the pain, I would have once again given in to the addictions which would have relieved the pain but would have started the cycle all over again.
He does not just want to give you strength He wants to be your strength. Let Him help you break your addictions. |
