Got Any Bad Habits To Break? How to break a bad habit? NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have any questions, comments, or encouragement.

We all have some habits to break. Patterns we get into tend to develop some strange pleasure in doing, which is usually against God’s will or irritating to others, but we can not simply break them for some reason. Stay calm and keep fighting! There is victory over your hard-to-break habit if you ask God for His help and practice discipline and self-control a little more assertively. God wants the best for us, and breaking bad habits is something He is glad to help us with as we cooperate with Him.

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. It sometimes takes 21 days or more to break a bad habit. I have wrestled intensely with alcohol and drugs, although after doing so, I thank God that He released me both from them, including cigarettes. It was like a miracle to be freed from those chains; I was a prisoner. It amazes me the habits and addictions we can get ourselves into. But remember, with God, all things are possible. ~ Bill Greguska

5 Lessons From “The Power Of Habit” By Charles Duhigg!

 

We all have some bad habits that we know are not helping us in our daily lives, but I encourage you to take a look at yours honestly and ask God to take those bad habits away from you. He might do it right away or wait a while, but He will hear your prayer, and with severity, He will answer your prayer according to His will and His purpose.  ~ Bill Greguska

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

1 Corinthians 6:12 ESV

Mark 7:20-23 ESV 

And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
