Your Sister in Christ: Day 4✝️

Day 46

I woke up this morning feeling very weak and unmotivated to even get out of bed. My room was dark, raining outside, and I just felt paralyzed. Didn’t feel like doing anything productive..but I decided to go outside in my car after freshening up and getting high like I do when I feel this way. Usually I feel a bit more relaxed and motivated to do some more important things but this time my mind just felt very fogged. It was like an eye-opening experience that I’m not as much as a “good person” like others think I am. I still have lustful thoughts every single day, I gossip about others and listen to gossip, I get too angry and frustrated at my mother when she’s the only parent I have alive, and I’m just so nonchalant about my future that I get high all the time just to desensitize everything around me. Which is why..I decided after a few hours waiting for the high to go away that I was gonna quit. Smoking weed is also one of my many ways to get tempted into watching porn and when I smoke my body feels weak enough to give into temptation. I feel like God has been telling me for a while that I have to quit smoking and I’m finally taking that step and listening to him for the first time in a while. It’s gonna be hard at first to stop cold turkey but I know I will feel better in the end. To my sister in Christ Kathryn: Thank you for your kind messages I see every time I post :) it really warms my heart knowing there’s I have a sister in Christ that’s going on this journey with me. God bless 🤍 To my brothers in Christ Michael, Robert, Logan: I wouldn’t have made this decision if you didn’t persuade me to give God another chance. I still have a lot of work to do on rebuilding myself, but the thought of changing myself for the better is the first step of many :)

This makes me so joyful! God continues to inspire you to take step and after step to draw even closer to Him. This is so exciting! True peace and joy only comes from your relationship with God, as you come closer and closer these things will begin to increase. Thank you for exposing this shortcoming to the light and allowing God in. Praise the Lord!! (:

To God be the glory!! Your brothers and sisters in Christ are huge helps, as iron sharpens iron so does man sharpen man. The devils tricks are old, repetitive, yet easy to fall for. But we all go through these trials and admitting your sins just as you have creates accountability and it’s a huge help for me! You will feel temptation, your body will crave those worldly things but you WILL get through this! We all have to remember that the very spirit that created the world out of nothing in 6 days, rose Jesus from the dead and loved the heavy stone, and even created every single person wants nothing more than to see you grow and become closer to him! You got this!!! Prayers sent for you and everyone in this chat, God loves you all!

I'm so glad you decided to quit smoking. Smoking weed is honestly just an awful thing in general. It makes people lazy, which is not what God wants. Try substituting weed for something else, something you enjoy doing. I'm praying that God will give you the strength to beat this, because it will he hard. The Christian life is not easy, so I'm praying for you. - Logan.

God bless you and thank you for sharing. I’ve had to make some tough decisions to part ways with some things I like because they have led me to fall. The fact that you are willing to adapt means the Holy Spirit is with you. Jesus loves you and He is pleased with your commitment to end this and rely on Him. He will handle the rest.

@Michael I used to take that verse and think it only applied to alcohol but after my own experience it’s not just alcohol it’s drugs in a whole.

I think that’s a very wise decision, friend. God will most certainly bless you as you turn away from this and follow the conviction He’s placed on your heart .🤍

Wow, that’s wonderful that you’ve decided to take that step of obedience. Scripture says in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” ‭‭There really is a spiritual impact when we indulge in substances like marijuana and alcohol that leave us in a weakened state. The enemy uses that state to catch us when we’re weak, which you’ve clearly experienced. I’m so proud of you and happy for you that you’re taking this next step. Keeping you covered in prayer sis. 🙏🏼

This is great Kathryn ! Proud of you! Way to listen to the holy spirits conviction!!!!! Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 You got this, will keep you in prayer 🙏🏽

That’s a huge decision! I’m sure it won’t be easy, but honestly most things worth striving for aren’t. I believe you absolutely can do it! That’s amazing to keep making healthy decisions and building yourself up to the version you want to be!
