Addictions often start out small
Until they are consuming over all
Anything that has a hold on you
Ultimately affects all that you do
For me, it was a computer game
But I am the only one to blame
For months I had this addiction
But God brought me to conviction
It took illness for me to admit
That I had to take steps to quit
By admitting my mistake to God
He forgave me on the road I trod
It had spread to all areas of my life
Causing me extra turmoil and strife
From sleep, eating habits, and emotions
At times, I was going through the motions
There are challenges I will face each day
But God is with me each step of the way
He will completely heal me and restore
As I learn to trust in Him more and more
All of us are capable of doing wrong
Even if we are certain of being strong
That is our pride, which leads to a fall
Satan knows each one of our downfalls
Whatever bad habit may have a grip on you
Don't wait and think it will just go away, too
Admit your weakness and confide in a friend
Someone who will offer you support to the end
Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)
A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
NOTE: Some of my close friends will be shocked after
reading this. Yes, I have made some mistakes, but
God loves and accepts me just the way I am. The
journey ahead may not always be easy, but He will
give me the strength I need to carry on each day.
God has been teaching me so much already and I know
my faith in Him will continue to grow, one little
step at a time.
