In case you are not aware, addiction is a sin against God. The fact is addiction draws you further away from God and makes you indulge in other sinful practices including addiction.

For believers, addiction disrupts the fellowship you have with God, but your relationship with God remains intact because he is still your father.

Now, it is the duty of every father to lend a helping hand to his children when they are in need. So, all they need do is ask. The sad part about this is, God wants to help us but we are ignorant of this fact.

Some believers who are addicted do not think the input of God is needed to help them break free. The amazing part is once we ask God, he would definitely come to our aid.

So, in summary, our fellowship is affected but our relationship is not. Addiction creates a form of guilt in our hearts.

Even though we are aware of our relationship with God, we do not feel free to communicate with him because he is angry with us. Although, we are not aware of the fact that God’s hand are held out wide waiting for us to return just like the prodigal son.

God does not like sin, so inasmuch as he wants to turn away, there is a provision of reconciliation he has provided for us in form of Jesus Christ.

So, once we accept the fact that we are sinners and we need God’s forgiveness, he would accept us back.

God gives us grace to defeat addiction but we must be ready to play our part. Out of which we must be ready to attend rehab and counseling sessions.

You would be surprised to find out that they would be as seamless as possible. This is because God’s grace is available for you to use.

An addictive lifestyle is a sinful one and it prevents us from developing a blossoming relationship with God.  

We struggle with several things in our lives because we do not involve God. Hence, we keep running the rat race when we are indeed meant to soar.

God is our heavenly father and one of the most interesting facts about him is, he is super-interested in every minute detail of our lives. So, there is no problem that God would not like to help us solve.

But a good number of us will rather seek ways to do it by ourselves instead of involving him. And since he cannot force us to accept the divine intervention he has, he watches till we are ready to call on him.

Sometimes, he can be gracious to us and help us solve these problems, but we term such help or assistance as luck, instead of divine help.

We all believe in the existence of a higher power but the truth is a good number of us do not make efforts to communicate with him and develop a relationship with him.

For people who are addicted, they do not know that God can help them solve their addiction problems. So, they try all means to get better and sadly, their case becomes worsened.

Addicts need to draw closer to God because he alone has the power to help them defeat addiction.

The first thing you discover when you draw closer to God is the peace of mind you will get. You will not be troubled as you used to be.

Addicted individuals have trouble within because they are in bondage. The only person who delivers from bondage is God, this is why addicted individuals need him more than ever.

With the supernatural healing power that God gives, it is possible for an individual to break free from addiction without any extra assistance.

Although, it is important to go to a Christian rehab as you draw closer to God. The reason is, those who work at the Christian rehab are God’s servant and they will help you get back on track with your creator.
