For anyone who is caught up in a sin that you can’t overcome, don’t lose hope. I still remember (in my early 20s) when my resident manager approached me, partly out of concern, about the shady-looking people coming and going from my apartment.
I started crying hysterically and was overwhelmed with fear because I suddenly realized I was in over my head and had become powerless against a drug that was taking me down. That was the start of my 9-year meth addiction until God delivered me on July 19th of 2002, when I found myself in a horrible situation and sensing that my life was almost at its end.
While I was begging God to rescue me from a man who was trapping me in his apartment, I also knew that my life had reached a point where it wasn’t just the immediate situation I needed to be free from. Still, there was an unmistakable sense that my addiction and everything in my life was suddenly going downhill much quicker than before and that something bad was coming.
I was thinking to myself, even when praying for help, “How am I going to live without meth?” I was searching for the strength or will from within to give it up so that God would know I was serious, but I knew I didn’t have it in me to quit.
Well, God knew I couldn’t overcome it, so he took away my drug craving himself! I didn’t know it then, and I don’t know how long it took to realize that the craving had been gone for a long time, but I’ve never had an urge for meth since then! This is not my doing, and yes, God is able to free you too! He understands us and our struggles even better than we understand ourselves. As strong as an addiction can be, God is stronger. There is much hope with Him.
