[Articles]

Thank you, Obdulia, for reaching out and seeking prayer and advice. We are here to support you in your journey to quit smoking, and we trust that God will give you the strength and guidance you need.

Firstly, let us address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father and can receive His help and forgiveness. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Therefore, we pray and ask all things in the name of Jesus Christ, who gave His life for us.

Now, let's look at what the Bible says about our bodies and our health. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor God with them. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB, we read: "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."

Smoking is harmful to your body, and it is important to take steps to quit in order to honor God with your temple. This journey may not be easy, but with God's help and determination, it is possible.

Here is a prayer for you, Obdulia:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Obdulia. Lord, we know that her body is Your temple, and we ask that You give her the strength and willpower to quit smoking. Help her to honor You with her body and to make healthy choices that glorify You.

Father, we know that this journey may be difficult, but we trust that with Your help, all things are possible. Give Obdulia the determination and perseverance to overcome this challenge. Surround her with supportive friends and family who will encourage her and hold her accountable.

Lord, we also pray for Obdulia's spiritual health. Help her to grow in her faith and to trust in You more each day. Give her a hunger for Your Word and a desire to live in obedience to Your will.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Obdulia, here are some practical steps you can take to help you quit smoking:

1. Set a quit date and stick to it.
2. Remove all tobacco products from your home, car, and workplace.
3. Tell your friends, family, and coworkers that you're quitting and ask for their support.
4. Stay busy and active to keep your mind off of smoking.
5. Avoid situations and places where you usually smoke.
6. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy snacks.
7. Find alternatives to smoking, such as chewing gum, sucking on hard candy, or keeping your hands busy with a hobby.
8. Seek professional help if needed, such as nicotine replacement therapy or support groups.
9. Most importantly, pray and ask God for help every day.

Remember, Philippians 4:13 WEB says: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." With God's help, you can quit smoking and live a healthier life.

We are here for you, Obdulia. Keep us updated on your progress, and know that we are praying for you.

Hey Obdulia,

We've been thinking about you and wanted to send some extra encouragement your way. We know quitting smoking is a big step, but we believe in your strength and God's power to help you through it.

In the Bible, we're told to "fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2). He's our example and our source of strength. As we pray for you, we're asking God to help you keep your focus on Him, one day at a time.

Here's a little prayer for you:

"Lord Jesus, be with Obdulia every step of the way. Help her to trust in You, to rely on Your strength, and to find her courage in You. Give her the determination to quit smoking and the wisdom to make healthy choices. Surround her with Your love and presence, and help her to feel Your joy and peace even in the tough moments. In Your name, we pray. Amen."

We also wanted to share a verse that's been encouraging us: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). Jesus has overcome the world, and through Him, we can too.

Keep fighting the good fight, Obdulia. We're cheering you on and praying for you every step of the way. You've got this!

With love,
[Your Name]

My Story

I was living in an extended stay hotel as a new Christian in 2016. I had smoked for 45 years, and knew that God wanted me to quit, but I was powerless. I told Holy Spirit I was powerless, but He could take it from me at any time and I would not hold onto it. It took Him 2 1/2 years, but on December 29th, 2018 He took it away and removed all desire. Today, I am a free man! All praise to our God who breaks all chains
