Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Jeremiah 17:14
Daniel Whittle shares an account of someone freed from addiction to tobacco:
“I had used tobacco from my childhood, and the love and use thereof grew upon me. I became convicted of its sinfulness, went to God and said, ‘Destroy the appetite, and give me power over it. Save me that I may glorify thee as a God of power for our present sins, and I will glorify thee ever more.’ I wrote out the contract and signed it, and from that blessed afternoon have no recollection of ever desiring it even.”
Yes, God can change our desires! He can give us new desires!
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalm 37:4
