I know that when I feel like that, it helps to have my quiet time at the same time every day. That way it's harder to just skip it. Also, you might try reading the book of Romans. It is filled with reminders about what God has already done for us and how we can't possibly live without Him. I'll be praying for you!

First of all Cody, it is God's grace that you are even aware of that and want to change. God is faithful and when you come to him asking for something in accordance with his will we know he will answer that. when the bible says "do not lean on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge him" we know his desire is for you to lean on him. Not put a hand but lean. I will be praying for you my friend. I'm so grateful to God for the work he's done in your life already. He is good!

Like Joanna said, it's already evidence of grace working in your life that you are humble enough to ask for help like this. Think about the most amazing thing you can do, then compare that to God creating the universe. You have no power at all compared to him; put your trust in him, not your own efforts. I've been struggling alot with this same area and the Youth Retreat was a huge help and is made me realize how much bigger God is than I like to think at times. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Pray to God and ask him for help, and he will deliver.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."
-Mathew 7:7~8

Totally praying. Thanks for the humility, Cody!

hey cody,
i struggled with the exact same thing that ur going through.
no matter how "enjoyable" sin is, remind yourself how mcuh better God is. Everytime your tempted, go to your bible, or to God in prayer. Thanks for being so humble about that and i'll pray for u! :)

I constantly struggle with that too Cody. So many times I don't want to stop sinning and I keep feeling more disatisfied. I keep telling myself "later". But it always helps me to remember that God wants what's best for me. He knows that spending time in his word and prayer is what will make me satisfied. Just put your trust in Him and he will satisfy all your needs.

Thanks for your example of humility in asking for help:)

Thanks for being humble Cody. I know exactly what you mean. It can be such a struggle to not just "Trust yourself". I will be praying for you.

I totally know what you're going through, Cody.
Just remember that Jesus' death is greater than the enjoyable sin.

I will totallly be praying for you cody! Just remember that we are like grass, and God is great, that HE can help you overcome ANY sin you are going through! :)
