I realize that only thinking drugs where puts me into deeper and deeper depression.....Please Show me O Lord what you want to show me.....Help me forget all the destructive ways of the world and to do things that honor You.
Hi Dabro,
I'm glad you've realized that drugs are not the answer to our problems. Jesus and His teachings are.
From a health perspective alone, there are a number of good reasons for us to avoid drug use. That said, we also know from the Bible that it's not so much what goes into our bodies which makes us unclean, as it is what comes out. (Mark 7:18-23)
More than focusing on the drugs themselves, I think it's important to question why we do drugs in the first place. Usually it's to fill a hole in our lives which can only truly be filled by God and His Spirit. We all want more peace, love, and joy in our lives... drugs seem to offer us these things, when in reality all they provide is a cheap imitation.
Anyway, I want to encourage you to continue seeking God with your whole heart, as He can give us the kind of peace and joy drugs can never provide. Whenever temptations arise, turning to God and His Word is a good idea... we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (Philippians 4:13)
