I Can't Do This! - How to Overcome Addiction

DAN 7 OD 7

Rest

“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.”

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him.”

- Psalm 62:1, 5

It is my hope and prayer, that over the past week, you’ve begun to see the freedom that is found in Jesus. You’ve begun to realise you can have new life through the one who has overcome. In Jesus, your chains can be broken. In Jesus, you can overcome addiction. In Jesus, you can learn to live in freedom. And finally, in Jesus, you can find rest.

In the book of Genesis, we are told that after God had worked for 6 days, He rested on the 7th day. He never left that place of rest and when we enter into a relationship with Him, through Jesus, we too enter His rest. It isn’t mainly a physical rest, and it isn’t mainly an emotional rest, nor is it mainly a mental rest (though it can include all of these), but the rest we enter is a spiritual rest. The sort that comes from knowing God’s got this. That comes from not only a new life but knowing all the promises we have in that new life. Where addiction stole joy, His rest renews it. Where addiction stole hope, His rest restores it. Where addiction stole life, His rest rebuilds it. It is in His rest that we are reminded whose we are and who we are. Instead of slaves to addiction, labelled addicts, we are adopted as children, labelled beloved. In this glorious place of rest, we find all we need to keep moving forward, keep overcoming, and keep standing firm.

Don’t be disheartened or discouraged if your journey into freedom takes time. These 7 devotions aren’t written to give you a quick solution, they’re to be used and reused for as long as you need.

Response:

Thank the Holy Spirit for what He’s shown you these past 7 days and ask Him to help you put into practice all you’ve learnt so far.

You may have been drawn in by the title 'I can't do this,' now you can rest assured, in Him, you really can.

You may have been drawn in by the title ‘I can’t do this!’ We would love to walk alongside you over the next seven days and help you change that way of thinking. This won’t be a quick solution, but true change never is. However, if followed, it will bring you freedom because, in Jesus, this is your assurance.
