Bad habits are insanely tough to break, I know. One verse that's helped me through a lot of temptation is 1 Corinthians 10:13.
Quote:
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.


There's three promises in there that I love. One, your problem is common. Other people have had it. Don't think you're a freak for having this temptation. This also makes it easier to talk to others about your problem, knowing they've probably gone through something similiar. None of us are perfect.

Second, God won't let you be tempted by more than you can bear. You're always able to win over temptation, it's never impossible.

And finally, God'll provide a way out. He ALWAYS does. It may not seem like it sometimes, but that's only because you're not looking hard enough. I think we as people sometimes like to ignore the option God gives us to get out of temptation as an excuse to fall into it. Or maybe the option is too hard, like having to go to somebody for help. I know how hard that is. xp

Oh, and there's one more promise, and it's the best of 'em all. GOD IS FAITHFUL. Through every temptation you've had, God's been there and He's done his part. He'll NEVER let you be tempted by more than you can bear, and ALWAYS give you a way out, no matter how many times you've fallen before.


So, uh, yeah. That's one of my favorite verses in the Bible, and I hope it'll help you as much as it's helped me. I'll be praying for ya, and if you'd like to talk, feel free to PM me. God bless!

Makes sense Sky. plus I love your explination of it.

I'd love to help but I deal better at knowing what the problem is. I don't like guessing at stuff.

I would glady help you, but it would help me help you if I knew what was wrong, or what the habit was. If you want, you can Pm me, to keep it private. I hope I can help.

yeah trust me I've had my share of bad habbits but I'm lucky they are going down in number and that I can try and follow god more and make myself more busy outside of school so I don't get back into those habbits. They were wrong choices and for me I'm glad to be out of it, you can pm me aswell and I can try my best to help you out
