I earnestly pray for you, after seeing my mother die of lung cancer and had a leg wither and die, all due to smoking,
Dear Father, please deliver 'God is love' from the chains of the enemy, in Jesus name, Amen

Hey there! I smoked for nearly 6 years, only taking a break when I was pregnant.

I quit about 2 weeks ago. It is extremely difficult... I did cave a few times at work, but for the most part I am done.
Let me tell you, after the first 3-5 days of depression, pulling your hair out, and getting -no- sleep, it gets a lot easier...

You got this :)

I will say a prayer for your dedication and endurance.
I tell you, I feel sooo much better after quitting. :) it is worth it.

Let me know how it goes!

Heavenly Father grant this one the strength in Your power to overcome the temptation to smoke. May he take it one hour at a time, one day at a time. If he is still smoking, may You take away his desire to smoke with each cigarette. Grant him the power to take control over this habit. Show him that You love him and join with him in his quest to overcome. Thank You Father God for he is not alone for You are with him, In Jesus Name, Amen

PS: Stephanie7:

Have you yourself managed to stay quit from smoking?

I think you used to smoke, right?

I quit and have stayed quit.

After seeing the damage from smoking in my mother, she stopped smoking 20 years before she died, but it was too late for the slow growing cancer that was already established. it is pure evil in my eyes...I pray that you will be delivered from it, in Jesus name

...I never smoked...just my mother, and we drove her crazy, my father and I trying to make her give up. She would sneak out and have a smoke out the back of the house, but she did give up when she became a Christian, that was wonderful.

Weird, I can smoke as and when I feel like and not get addicted. One or two cigars a week, tops. Never do I crave them though.

I'm not trying to get all 'superior' or anything, it's just strange how everyone's body reacts differently... Stick a tub of Ben and Jerry's in my face though and see what happens. Good bye lid! Won't be needing that!

Anyway, besides the point. I pray that God replaces your addiction with DESIRE. Desire and determination - in all areas of life. I don't like to pray with limitation.
