Pep Talk: Breaking Bad Habits

Look to Him and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. (Psalm 34:5)



Stop it. Be finished with it. Set your priorities firmly before you.

Confess as many times as necessary.

Forgive yourself.

Keep repenting until it sticks.

 God knows your secret sin but does not judge. He desires to help you; desires to see you victorious.

 You need to pre-plan and pre-plan well. Learn from your mistakes without beating yourself up. Mistakes aren’t backslides but a renewed awareness of what will launch you toward your next victorious step forward.

 Surge ahead. Keep practicing what works. Make changes to what doesn’t. Pre-plan new and improved choices. Keep trying. Think: “Next time I’m going to do this instead.”

 Breathe.

Stay hopeful.

Picture yourself doing it; living it.

And calmly pray.

Calmly believe that God is truly good and that God truly loves you and wants the best for you.
