"Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes". Psalms 69:18
Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers. Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 8:1-3 (NIV)

If you don't know by now I am struggling with smoking. Please keep me in prayer.
I don't smoke, but it seems easy to me. Put that nicotine stick in your trap and puff away. What's the struggle? I mean, even teenagers can do it...

ps. I'm picking up well on the Mollette/Fraley wit :)
btw- I could use general strength in the LORD prayer. Allow HIM to lead me in all my words, actions, etc.
Thanks!!
One of the toughest addictions in History. Ask me about the last time I quit sometime..
Brother I can honestly say, I know what you're going through. I quit from four packs a day habit. I admire your courage and strength. Don't make it convienent to smoke. Don't but cartons, better yet don't buy packs either. If you must buy a pack don't keep the pack near you. What I mean is don't take the pack in the car. if you do need to smoke only take a puff or two just to kill the desire, that way you are reducing the nicotine you take in. I remember saying to myself each time I smoked was something to the effect "I am really enjoying not smoking or I am not really enjoying smoking", power of positive suggestion. People might think you are weird smoking and saying that you are enjoying not smoking, oh well. That will be short lived.
I will continue to pray for you and others who are also trying to quit the habit. I'll echo Jims reply...One of the toughest addictions in History.
But Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
I believe yoou can do it.
