-Bible verses that help break habits

Sources of Strength:

"I can do all things through Christ, because He gives me strength." Phil. 4:13 NCV

"Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 RSV

How to treat your body:

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you; which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Cor. 6:19-20 RSV

Where to look:

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Cor. 10:13 RSV

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb.12:1-2 NIV

Absolutely nothing happens in the life of one of God’s children that is not the will of God, and that we wouldn’t have chosen for ourselves if we could have seen the end from the beginning!
