God Wants To Help
If you struggle with addiction and have come across this page today…Know that you are on the right path; seeking after God’s word.
Drug addiction, substance abuse, and alcohol abuse are extremely difficult obstacles to overcome when you’re fighting alone. But with God, all things are possible.
God has known you since the beginning of time. He understands your unique story and everything that has led up to this struggle you’re facing now. If you’re battling dependency of ANY kind, know that God wants you to be set free from the chains of addiction. That void that you’re been trying to fill with other things, can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
There Is Freedom In Jesus
God’s power is made perfect in our weakness and If we never had to endure our sin’s yoke of slavery, we wouldn’t have the perspective needed to appreciate the freedom, power, mercy, and true love of God. The hardships we face in life reveal how desperately we need God and how much power there is in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are fighting a daily battle against our addictive behaviors, desires of the flesh, and an enemy who doesn’t want us to receive the love of God.
So if you’re battling addiction, know that God is with you and for you. He wants to remove the heavy loads of addiction and create a new creation within you. Lean on His true word and always remember that God’s plan is perfect, even when we don’t understand it. The suffering you’re experiencing produces endurance and helps develop your character for the work God has made for ONLY you to do. God can turn any situation around for good…He may have needed you to endure this struggle so you could have a powerful testimony to reach someone else.
5 Things To Do In Your Life To Beat Addiction:
- Diligently seek God and read the bible daily
- Create a support group/network with other Christians
- Change your environment…bad company corrupts good morals
- Distract yourself, seek alternative activities
- Have FAITH that Jesus can help you overcome this!
To the loved ones standing in the gap for family members/friends battling addiction…
Never underestimate the prayer of a righteous person, and always remember that God’s plan is perfect and intentional. God stands outside of time and he can see all aspects of our loved one’s situation that you might not see. God loves them even more than you do and wants to see them come to Jesus to be set free too. Have faith and pray continually.
God’s Word is the ultimate remedy for our hearts and holds the answers to every struggle we face.
