Nothing breaks a habit like becoming so sick of it that there seems to be no choice but to give it up. This is often how God works in our lives. We get sick of feeling sick from too much sugar. Our minds grow weary from chasing after the newest trends in fashion, entertainment, and home remodeling.
The apostle Paul was clearly sick of his sin when he penned these words to the Roman church: “I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing” (Romans 7:19). When we can readily admit that our sinful flesh makes us miserable, we are ready to agree with God and try to give up the habit. We can begin by praying that we’ll be too sick of the behavior to continue in it.
