Back in August 2008, I started smoking cessation classes; I had nicotine patches, nicotine lozenges, a support group, etc. I did real well for a few months, then I started to fall back into the old habit; one cigarette a day, two cigs a day, and by Christmas, some days it was 3 a day. So, I started the campaign again. I am asking anyone that reads this to pray for me to have the strength to kick this nasty habit once and for all.
Matthew 26:41 (NIV) "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
1 Corinthians 10:12-14 (NIV) 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
James 4:7 (NIV) Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Susan,
Cigarette addiction is strong.
People are weak and human.
God's strength is shown in our weaknesses. With his strength, you can beat it.
