Crawling out of bed willingly on a chilly morning after being snuggled in warm covers, takes immense effort. We have many reasons to do this during the week, our kids have school and we have to work. On the weekends it might be a different story, but either way sometimes it’s a struggle and requires effort.

This is true for more things in our lives than just getting out of bed, we struggle with willingly putting forth the effort it takes to stop an unhealthy habit. We often feel we are on our own in our struggle, we underestimate the power of the holy spirit within us and often give up before we tap into his strength.

Forty years ago emotional eating crept into my life. Unknown to me at the time it became my God and left me powerless. When I finally became aware of what was happening, I had no strength to quit. Sometimes I had no desire to quit. When I started spending more time with God and in his word, his spirit stirred within me. I tapped in to that power and together with my desire we put an end to my unhealthy habit. I took that power and joined a weight loss program, and added exercise. We became a team!

Team work is essential for success. Today, “tap in” to the power of the Holy Spirit within you, add your desire and make a team effort to overcome your unhealthy habit.
