"I didn't think I had a disease," the woman cried, "but now I know I do. Now I know I have a problem." Hers was an addiction to overeating and sugar. It had been a long journey to this admission, plagued with sleepless nights. But the thoughts that kept her awake were not of desserts or chocolate crepes. What Satan used were fits of unresolved anger, worry, anxiety and fear that drove her to escape in food.

Night after night her self-destructive thoughts had raged: "I hate this life. I hate myself. I don't want tomorrow to come. I'm not good enough for God. I've done nothing but fail." Satan caused her problems to be so exaggerated that she had no hope, until she humbled herself and confessed her addiction.

What about you? Has an addiction of any kind bound you? Can you humble yourself enough to admit to God that you have a problem? God wants to help. He says:

“…humble yourselves…under the mighty hand of God…Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind)…” (1 Peter 5:6-8, AMPC).

It may not be easy to be honest with yourself and reach out to God for help. Take that courageous step tonight. In Christ, you have the power to overcome!

Heavenly Father, I praise You that You are God over all the spiritual realm and are my Deliverer, my Healer, and the source of all my strength. I am powerless but You are not. I now confess my addiction and renounce and bind the foul spirits of addiction which have a hold on me. I loose Your power and the blood of Jesus in this area of my life. May the victory come! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
