The Bible clearly says “We can do it.” First, we need to gain the habit of running from triggers. Step one is to tell God your plan. Consider praying:

“Father, help me to run from gambling thoughts”. I commit to praying this prayer _______ times per day, and praying it five straight times if I stumble on anything tempting.”

Use notes, alarms, and any other way you can think of to remind yourself of your goal. Then plan what thoughts will replace the tempting thoughts.

Second, yesterday I did a couple of things in excess. Excess leads back to bad habits. Consider praying:

Father, help me to be moderate and content.”
