Stop Smoking praise thread!!

[Precious]

Precious, you have made a wonderful decision! Praising God for touching your heart, letting you know, "It is time".... A different world is about to open up to you, and the amazing part is, it isn't like you think it will be. If you read back on when I quit smoking, I was so full of fears of the unknown. And none of the unknowns happened. The Lord was and still is right there beside me, just like he always was, but I just wasn't seeing him. Are you using any kind of help, (patches, etc)? If you need an ear, feel free to PM me, or really I think any one of us non-smokers would be more than happy to hold your hand, give you a shoulder to cry on, and most of all we will be there to encourage you, praise you and give all the glory to God the Father! You will be lifted up in prayer more than you could possibly imagine. The fight is spirit against flesh. It is very much worth the fight! The rewards are so amazing. Give a praise out to the Lord daily, he isn't about to leave you alone, keep a prayer journal, look back daily and see the miracles happening in your life. Our God IS an awsome God! Smile, your witness for Him has just gotten stronger! Keeping you lifted in prayer!

Sandy:hug Thank you so much. Yes, I am using the patch and yes I can use all the prayer you guys are willing to offer. The Lord knows that I cannot do it without Him patch or no patch.:pray

I have had a couple bad days. I am pretty sure that I am going through "the Change". :sad Just an emotional roller coaster lately. And the last few days, when the emotions build, and anger builds, and loneliness, and fear... I have been "craving" a cigarette. And for awhile I thought, I was doomed, my quit was doomed. But... "Jesus came into my life", yes, I cried out, I screamed out, and there He was. I yelled out at Satan, and cast him behind me, Praising God for rescuing me. I didn't smoke.

I am in desperate need of all your prayers, I have cut back smoking the past few days and the end of today is it for me! I cannot deal with this crutch any longer and I am asking for prayer warriors to help with this, I know that I can't do this without the Lord and support and I could think of no better place to come to for help. May the Lord bless all of you who are trying to quit and sustain those of you that have, that you all remain strong in your battle, :pray for all of you.
