Day 326 When Tempted, Seek Support When youre tempted, reveal your struggle to a godly friend or support group. You dont have to broadcast it to the whole world, but you need at least one person you can honestly share your struggles with. Let me be clear: If youre losing the battle against a persistent bad habit, an addiction, or a temptation, and youre stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, you will not get better on your own! You need the help of other people. Some temptations are only overcome with the help of a partner who prays for you, encourages you, and holds you accountable. Gods plan for your growth and freedom includes other Christians. Authentic, honest fellowship is the antidote to your lonely struggle against those sins that wont budge. God says it is the only way youre going to break free: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. (James 5:16 NIV) Do you really want to be healed of that persistent temptation that keeps defeating you over and over? Gods solution is plain: Dont repress it; confess it! Dont conceal it; reveal it.
