Looking at the Problem with Hope
The first thing to do on the path to liberation is to acknowledge that you have a problem. Recognizing an addiction is the first step to overcoming it.
1 John 1:9What a wonderful promise! God, through the power of His Spirit, can cleanse and restore each of us if we are sincere."If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The Power of Community
It is important that you are not alone on your recovery journey. The church community can be your support. Communicating with people who are going through similar struggles can help you feel understood and supported.
Hebrews 10:24-25This is an invitation to a community that can support you in difficult times."And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
Prayer and Trust in God
Do not despair if you experience setbacks. Prayer is a powerful tool. When we turn to God with our problems, He always hears us.
Philippians 4:6-7Tune into Him in prayer, and you will receive a peace that surpasses all circumstances."Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Freedom Through Faith
Your freedom will not come solely from your efforts but also through your faith in God. He can give you strength and inspiration in times of trial.
Romans 8:37You are more than a conqueror! May God guide you on your path to liberation. Keep believing in yourself and in God's power within you."No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
