Are you struggling to overcome the same old sin? This is called a besetting sin.

I struggled with over consuming one particular food. You would think this would not be a sin. However, this became the only food I would eat. As a result, I was not caring for my body properly. I would fast from this food for several months and would think that I had broken the power of this over my life. However, I was always back in the same state again.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,” Hebrews 12:1

I purged this food from life and got back in the race to win the prize.
