Having issues with my dip addiction, and I'm confident that it will lose it's hold on me once I place more confidence in God. What's that look like though?

Moar Confidence!
Ahhh, another staff meeting - more stuff to add to the agenda. First thing's first - gotta get caught up on the podcasts. I'm uploading the Passion and Purpose sermon now, going to do the next one tomorrow. Then I have to get the latest one from Jesse in email form, so I can produce it.

Maybe it’s not putting more confidence in God, but putting ALL your confidence in God?
ReplyDelete“God will allow things to come up which will shatter our self confidence, with the hope that we will learn to have CONFIDENCE IN GOD, and not in ourselves.”
That how it is for me anyways, I have to ask God over and over and over again to take away the struggles I have with pride, lust, judgment, and most of all my future. I’m learning and will be learning that I’m going to have to trust him that He is enough, and that only he can handle it and that he WILL handle it. There is nothing I can do about it, and it is (obviously) beyond my control. That’s why I continue to struggle with it, is the lack of trust that I have in God that he will handle it. It’s going to be hard, and it’s going to suck, and you’re probably going to fail once or twice. But God will pick you back up and you’ll start again.
“for though a righteous man falls, again and again and again and again and again and again and again seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity” – Proverbs 24:16
God I pray that you be with Jedediah and heal him from this addiction. God I pray that you take any desire to dip from him. God I know you have made him a man after your own heart, and your heart desires for him to be healed, and to have NOTHING holding him back. (“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” – Hebrews 12:1-3) God make him strong and give him the confidence and strength that he needs to get through.
