I love hearing stories like that. 7 days is no joke. Keep returning to the original image and inspiration when you feel tempted.
I love your inspiring story; I will remember it when i feel tempted to eat yummy things when i am not hungry (which is my temptation:-)

Thanks for your post,I have only just started visiting your Blog.

I have only recently come back to faith about 7 months ago.

Interestingly to me anyway, it was Him (Love) God that came and found me I wasn't seeking him out.

Anyway I had picked up an aweful habit whilst in the wilderness of sin one that defeated me however much willpower I excerted to conquer it and even praying for strenght to beat it never worked.

I felt at a loss really, then I just told Him (Love)Father I can't quit, I'm so hopeless left to me I do it again at a drop of a hat, Then I pictured myself as I prayed putting this habit on the cross, trusting that he would remove it saw myself turn away from it…As I prayed.
I was sorely tempted to engaged again for the 3 days after, and each time, I thought oh I'm just going to smoke, oddly I could'nt even do that, it was as if someone or something stopped me I didnt even touch any tobbaco.

I think my failures before were due to pride want to appear strong cool or spiritual in some way and I think that's why he didn't answer the way I wanted. Though now, I fully admit without Him (Love) I'd be a 20 Plus cigs a day or climbing the walls everytime I saw people smoking.
I work with smokers, people I live with Smoke, people I visit on the street all smoke, but dispite all that He has kept me FREE I am no longer trying to quit. It's only been just over 7 days true, but it's no longer an issue not because I am so smart but because He(Love) Jesus Set Me free, completely.

Ian

Welcome to my blog, Claire. Yes, our weaknesses are a graphic illustration of our need for God. Without them, we'd run on auto-pilot, forgetting him!!
Thanks, Emma. I guess life is best lived slow–that's one way limps are blessings.
@Youschka, welcome to my blog, and thank you for your comment and retweet. How wonderful that God has filled your heart with his love, helping you to break the idolatry of comfort-eating. That's wonderful:-)

Christ has taken me to the point where I don't follow the comfort food habit – He has helped me break it, by filling my heart with His love…..today I walk by Faith Alone…..trusting that He has my back 🙂
Hallelujah, Praising God!!!
God bless you my friend in Christ.

It's hard to trust and it's hard to cope with the possibility of hearing 'no'. But as you say, the blessing is sometimes a limp. And sometimes God's 'no' turns out to be 'yes' – just not in the way we expected.

I do think that we can easily get too busy, or self-sufficient, and the struggles/physical difficulties that we suffer with allow us the chance to re-recognise the sovereignty of God and how much we rely on him…
