Bible Question: How does God help us through hard times like when were faced with issues such as drugs? How can he help someone break an addiction? |
Bible Answer: Saz, along with fervent prayer, you must watch every bit of your association. the bible warns us at 1 cor 15:33 "Stop being led astray [fig., being deceived]: "Evil associations corrupt good habits." This would include anything and everything that can be a negative influence on our minds. Satan wants to attack our minds. If he can get us to think about things that are not true (deception) he is 3/4 of the way there. Drugs are very mind altering. Please be careful, and watch out in your association with others as well. Look for good people that can help you with Gods word and can pray with you. PRAYER is very powerfull. It will give us the strength beyond what is normal. And remember, Nothing is impossible with God. |
