Hello lovely people. Please pray for me to be released from all the chains that bind me.
I have been praying about the use of hallucinogenic/psychedelic drugs recently, and I decided to take the first step in acknowledging the fact that I have a problem; I mean the addictive part of it, and that I need to stop using them. It is not going to be easy, but God delivered me from demonic oppression, depression, and sexual immorality, and I believe God will continue to do HIS miraculous work in my life. With God everything is possible. [Matthew 19:26]
After being arrested two times for substance abuse, and then finding out about my pregnancy later, I continued using them to cope with traumas, and even though they truly helped me with the pain, it's all temporary relief, and that is the sad part. I do not think it is wise to carry on using them forever, after being born again, and especially after getting my life together. I am a much happier person today, and I praise Jesus for that! He's my God and my King.
I also do not want my daughter to grow up knowing about this. My ex sometimes makes me frustrated. He has been seeing all those super young and attractive women. I thought he settled with this woman he was with lately, but he is dating another now. I do not know how some men can do this. I mean I was not even trying to date when we separated, even my current bf I met him by chance in a bible study group.
I try to be kind and respectful towards my ex despite our differences. I do not want to give him a reason to separate me from my daughter, if things go south. We managed to keep the peace, and he is cool with me now. I hope one day he would notice the change in me, after giving my life to Jesus, and I still hope one day he would come to know Jesus like I did. It breaks my heart that I could not bring him to know God. Well . . I do think quitting will benefit my daughter and it can secure my future, so I will try my best.
My current boyfriend is a born again believer, and he has been supporting and encouraging me, so I could use that, even though I am afraid, because I am often tempted when things get tough. Drugs were my way out for nearly 7 years, but I must never lose hope, and better late than never. I know I will be tempted, but I also know that God is is patient toward me. I am grateful that I can depend on Jesus.
Keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
