ACTIVITY LEVELS, THE SABBATH, AND QUITTING

Everyone with a severe habit is either not active enough or is too active.
When we are in the not active enough category we might want to spend the Sabbath going to church, reading the Bible, praying and then trying to push ourselves to try a hobby or two to try to fight addiction.
Pray: “Father, take away this spirit of gambling and help me to be more active.”
When we are in the too active category we might want to spend the Sabbath going to church, reading the Bible, praying and then resting.
Pray: “Father, take away this spirit of gambling and help me to be content.”
Things that we do in excess lead to trouble. In excess, things like gambling, drinking, gaming, searching the internet, working to much, or you fill in the blank ______, often lead back to addiction. Things in excess should be avoided on the Lord’s day. And we should be fully aware that things in excess on any day lead to extra temptation.
Pray, “Father, help me to be moderate in all things.” If you do things in excess it is really hard to pray this prayer too often.
Activities in excess often lead to exhaustion, depression and then addiction.
But, sometimes we have no choice but to work or study too much.
Pray: Father, take away my spirit of gambling and give me a Spirit of toughness.”
Be aware of your activity level. Pray: “Father, help me to live in balance between doing too little and doing too much.”
