Dear All,
I have been a Christian for 10 years now, and swearing is a weakness. Many days I go without swearing, but when I am either ill, very run down, frightened or frustrated, it seems to happen. In particular, my mother really irritates me, much as I love her, by saying outrageous things such as 'you are in debt' when I am not, and continually nagging me about work, after i have literally got off an aeroplane after having a taxing work tour where I have worked so hard that I have become ill. I don't want to swear because God doesn't like it, but my mother and other situations make it hard for me, although I have a lot to be thankful for.
Yes, I have prayed loads about it, but every few months or weeks or days, the old habits come back. Have gaestroentoritus at present and so my patience is thinner than usual...Advice please!
