I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
Romans 7: 15- 17
Why did you start looking at the pornographic websites? Initially to give you the satisfaction you are not getting?
Why did you first take way too many drinks every night?
To calm you down after a long day?
Why did you first flirt with the married co-worker?
Maybe that person built you up instead of tearing you down?
Why do you keep eating the foods you know are bad for you? Possibly you just needed something to make you feel better?
Why do you sit on the internet when you know you should be spending time with your children or God?
Because you think you can’t get what you need from God or your kids?
Why do you keep purchasing stuff you do not really need?
Is it because you need a quick pick up me up that you can not seem to find any other way?
There are many, many types of addictions. Keep yourself in check or it will consume you if you let it. It will control your life if you don’t control it. It will cause everything and everyone to be secondary to “it”. Because of the way sin works, you won’t even know it until it’s too late or seemingly impossible to remedy.
Lord, open my eyes to my daily activities; show me where I need to take control back.
