In the Bible, the word “addiction” as we use it today doesn’t appear directly, but Scripture speaks a lot about being enslaved to desires, habits, or substances that control a person. The Bible frames addiction as a form of bondage that takes the place of God’s rightful rule in someone’s life.

So I’m stepping out in faith to start my own business in trucking don’t know where or how the money will come to start this walk I know our father will provide me with the truck and all that goes along with the company

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Loving this verse

I’m trying to see what I’m doing wrong? I read my Bible daily I help at my church I pray daily and all I’m asking for is to be part of the family and have good faith field friends in my life and to be a blessing but every time I try to connect with people in church I get turned away so I don’t know what to do I love my church just not getting all I need?

What exactly is faith? Is it positive thinking, or determining to believe something even in the face of difficulties? Do some people just have an innate ability to have more faith than others?
The Bible’s definition
Hebrews 11:1 tells us what faith is according to the Bible:
“Now faith is the substantiation of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

The fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you
is divine love in all its varied expressions:

a joy that overflows,
a peace that subdues,
patience that endures,
kindness in action,
a life full of virtue,
faith that prevails,
gentleness of heart,
and strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities,
for they are meant to be limitless.
