Spirit, I was strengthened to overcome the temptations. However, over the past
three years, I find myself "cycling through" periods of abstaining and periods
of "backsliding."

Hi!
Thank you for joining this group--glad to have you aboard!
Yes, it is indeed a struggle to overcome the temptations that plague us, but,
with God's help, we can be more than overcomers through Him who loves us so! As
it says in 1st Corinthians 13, "No temptation has seized you except what is
common to man; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when
you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under
it." (NIV)
You had complete victory before, and you can have it again through a closer walk
with Christ and through claiming the divine enablement that He gives. In your
own strength, you are sure to fail, but you can do all things through Christ who
strengthens you. He is the Divine Enabler, if you will, and He wants you to walk
worthy of Him unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and
increasing in the knowledge and love of God.
I call upon all the members of this group to pray that you will be given the
victory over every weight, every care, and the sin that so easily besets!
Love in Christ,
