Worry and anxiety

For me, and I'm sure for many others as well, smoking is a way to ease worry and anxiety. It calms the nerves momentarily. But the fact is, that worry in and of itself is a lack of faith. Instead of smoking to ease our worries, lets try to build our faith. Lets remember that God does in fact have a perfect plan unfolding for each and every one of us. This quit is all a part of it. He wants us healthy and living longer than we may if we continue to smoke and worry. Let us let go and let God the way He intended us to... Even though we have trouble releasing control. Just recall the messes we can make of things if we try to figure them out and fix them, and remember that when God takes care of us, He takes better care of us than we can, because He can see so many things we cannot. Trust Him and fear not!!!!! God did not give us the spirit of fear!

AMEN to that. I agree 100% but I am ashamed of myself because my body is the temple of the Lord and I don't think God is to happy with the way I've been doing (smoking cigarettes). This is my first day and I am having a really rough time...

Well said! And He also blessed the earth with things to help us through our quit. Check out my blog on Foods that heal, art therapy, & laughter.
