For day 3 we pray for 20 minutes over the next 3 verses:
Galatians 5:19-21 ESV Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Isaiah 5:22 ESV Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
1 Corinthians 3:17 ESV If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Many may do a portion of what I recommended on day one every day, but only a few will do everything. Many will skip praying about purpose for 15 minutes daily.
James 2:17 “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
Here is a story:
Jonny’s birthday is next week. His naughty uncle Ralph told him: “I am going to give you $100 to bet on any horse at the track next weekend. If you win the big one you can keep it all.”
Jonny said, “I will bet it all on my fav horse Black Lightning.”
Two days later Black Lightning was struck by lightning and he died instantly.
Now I have never bet horses, but I would no longer bet on Black Lightning after his run-in with white lightning. He is dead.
In addiction, the problem with faith without works being dead is… dead people need “something.” Instead, work diligently on having faith “with works.” When we have faith with works or faith with a diligent plan to someday have works we have something. We are alive, we are alive with Christ.
Consider praying: “Father, take away this spirit of drinking/drugs and help me to care about helping others, and souls.”
Last, if you don’t have time to do everything on the daily list (from day one), work on the daily verses first, but then do at least a little bit of everything.
Other than switching these 3 verses we repeat all of the other steps from day one. Consider printing out day one since you will need it for the next 20 days.
