When you come to Me and ask Me to help you to change and overcome a weak area in your life, first of all I don’t want you to be discouraged. It is easy for you to feel that this is part of your personality and that you will never be able to change. But once you have acknowledged and identified the problem clearly, then you just need to look to Me and ask Me to help you to change. All change is possible – as I promised, if any man is in Me, old things are passed away and all things become new. (2 Cor 5:17) Certainly that doesn’t mean that once you receive Me you instantly become sinless and have reached a state of holy perfection. That is just not true! You will battle your weaknesses all your life long. But you CAN change if you make a decision that you want to change. That is the most important part of the process of change. After you have acknowledged the weakness, and asked Me to help you, you need to have faith that I can and will change you. Then day by day, you will need to work on this area of your life.
So how do you “work on it”? You can memorize key Bible verses that will help you – and then whenever you are faced with this problem, you should claim that scripture, and go on the attack. And when you are in a situation where you start to slip, come to Me at that moment and ask Me to help you, and look at these challenges as opportunities for growth. The more you “practice” overcoming this weakness, the stronger you will become. Remember that My grace is sufficient for you in ever battle that you face, and My power is made perfect in your weakness! So you should look at these weakness and battles that you face in your daily life as a blessing because My power will rest on you! (2 Cor 12:9)
