Is It Possible to Escape from Vicious Circles?

Old habits are hard to break. I’m referring to alcohol, nicotine, pornography, street drugs, and to vicious circles that include negative, critical thought patterns. Habits can be unproductive and unhealthy by  damaging your self-image and personal relationships.

Habits are synonymous with repeating particular patterns of behavior and thinking to the point they dominate what is good and healthy about you. Habits become strong, which gives them power to override your better judgment and sound logic.

Proverbs 22:24-25 admonishes you: “Don’t make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. You might learn their habits and be unable to escape.” Whatever vicious circle is controlling you now, God has the power to deliver and redeem you. If you’re willing, God will give you insight and faith, coupled with courage, to begin a new life in Christ Jesus, who came to seek and to save you now, today.
