Faith

[klouise]

I am going to a Christ base addictions program through my church.It is a great program. My teen children have been going through it to. The problem is that the counselors keep telling me that I just need to have faith and then I will stop. I have tried and tried and I just don't seem to be able to stop.
However, I still have my faith. This all has me very confused.

Answer these questions and maybe you will find your answers.

Is Jesus Lord and God of your life? Seek him with all your heart.
Is there anything God can't do? God has no limits, all things are possible.

Do you want to quit? If yes, ask and draw from the Lord's strength.

Desire to quit and a willingness to quit are two different things.

Ask for what is needed.

I have found that when I reached a point of understanding... I can't do it on my own. With my coming to that understanding, I had one choice left... Lord Jesus help me. With my asking, to this very day, I am amazed at the stregth the Lord has filled me with. By His strength, I am free.

The same God who has created all that we see and know, for him to take our life and turn it around is a simple thing for him. Ask of Jesus and it will be given.

Jump---and the net will apppear.
Surrendering my life,over to the care of God.
My faith became stronger,as the more i prayed/meditated,and started to have a relationship with God.There were times i was unsure of my faith,but handed all to God,anyways.And prayed to have sound faith.Believing that now i have recieved the kind of faith that i asked for,after this prayer.If i had waited to have faith,100% faith,i would not be sober today,because of my own doubts,inside,of me,letting this control me..So i let them go,one day at a time.Today i have no doubts.God has done for me,what i could never have done,nor what any human could do in my life!!!...I cant.He can.I will let Him!!!
