    Dear Johnny,
    I was saved by God 2 months ago....I was a hard smoker....I felt so weak and said to God I can't make it....then I dreamed a dream with Jesus and the next day I felt the strengh...eventually I stopped....for about a month...then a sad situation happened and although I felt the strengh in my heart to handle it,I chose old attitude and smoked again😢😢😢
    After that I stopped again,but now I smoke again😢😢😢
    I feel ashamed....I pray every day,but yet don't manage😢please pray for me and if u have any insights how can I stop...😢😢😢God bless you,
    Yana

    Wow, good looking out brother Chang! I really needed to hear every word that was said. I have been trying to overcome this addiction for years and I have come to that place where I figured I was just going to die a miserable death because I wasn't getting better, just worse. I have nobody close to me that believes the Good News. I have been isolating hard for years and because of how I look and feel from the drugs destroying my health I have so much shame. I would love to join a church, but I can't open up to people when I have teeth missing and I look tore up. I guess that is pride. I heard shame and self pity can be a form of pride or selfishness. I live in West Los Angeles if anyone is down to fellowship. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned my teeth. LOL! Anyways, God bless you all!!!

    For I [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I replenish every languishing and sorrowful person.” Jer 31:25
    Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
    My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Ps 73:26

    The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. He will steal your joy, peace and happiness, through his deception he will destroy your life his aim is to kill. He is the father of lies. So don't believe anything he says even if it makes sense, even if it feels right, believe God and him alone because He tells the truth and cannot lie because He is the truth. The way, the truth, the life, total opposite of the enemy.
