We need 2-3 alternative activities to do instead of ________. If we don’t force ourselves to do them, we will be frustrated.
Consider writing down 2-3 activities. Take 24-48 hours to decide which are best for you. Pray about which would be best for you.
It is wise to think that avoiding doing these activities is pretty much sin.
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Is the habit sin? At the very least, do virtually all habits lead to sin 99% of the time?
It is optional whether you say that avoiding your alternative activities is a sin, but
if we can’t even change to do those activities, how in the world will we ever do the good they are talking about in that verse? Consider praying:
“Father, show me the “good” that You want me to do.”
We need to help others. Doing good is huge for quitting.
We need the habit of “doing other things” to quit for good. If you are fanatical about the new things that you “do,” you will have a lot less time for bad things.
Third, it is wise to add spiritual things. It is wise to add physical activities. It is wise to add things you can do inside.
Fourth, consider praying:
“Father, show me Your will.”
Finally, consider working constantly thinking about what you “can do.” What you “should do.” Consider making it a habit to think about what God wants you “to do.” And if you don’t know… you now have two very important things “to do.”
#1 Keep asking Him 1000 times:
“Father, what do You want me to do.”
#2 Try doing “good” in any way that you can.
God has great things for us “to do.” Now that I am doing what God wants me to do, I have found joy. You can start to find joy as well.
