Addiction is an issue that affects individuals as well as their families and friends. It is estimated that 22.6 million Americans struggle have a substance abuse or dependency problem.

People often describe addiction as a type of “demon” that they cannot escape.  There is something powerful about reading the many account of Jesus casting out demons as if he were freeing that person from an addiction.  

Today, as we reflect upon those that suffer from this ugly demon, we pray for them and consider our own vices. 

Verse for Meditation: Ephesians 6:12

Action: Consider the habits and routines that you take for granted. Whether it is your morning cup of coffee or compulsively checking your phone, try going without it today
