Nasty habits are tough to break for anyone. Everyone has something. One thing that you can be sure of. You will never be rid of it unless you admit it is there and that it's a problem and you really are sick of it.

I found this poem which is one of my favorites. Maybe it will say something to you for your life. Check it out:

Five Short Chapters: By Partia Nelson

From " There's a Hole in My Sidewalk

I walk down the street.

There is a deeep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost... I am helpless.

It isn't my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don't see it.

I fall in again.

I can't believe I am in the same place.

But ,it takes a long time to get out.

It still takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is still there.

I still fall in. It's a habit.

My eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault and I get out immediately.

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

I walk down another street.

What about you? Any deep holes you keep falling into? Are you tired of it? Is it a problem? All of life there will be more deep holes for us to fall into.

I have had my fair share of holes let me tell you. I had to admit that it was a problem and I was to blame. That is never easy to do.

It was worth it though. I always ask Jesus to help me and He does. Habits are broken a day at a time or sometimes a moment at a time depending on what it is.

I hope that something here has been helpful to you today. Watch out for those deep holes. May you have wisdom to recognize them when you land in one!
