Publisher's Synopsis
Addiction extends beyond physical pain; it embodies a spiritual void disguised as fulfillment, ultimately leading to deeper emptiness. Understanding its spiritual roots is crucial: addiction exploits our longing for meaning, belonging, and love, isolating us and diminishing our spirit. Proverbs 4:23 urges us to guard our hearts, the wellspring of our actions. An unattended spirit leaves a void that addiction readily fills. Rather than seeking fulfillment in God, the addict chases fleeting pleasures, falling into addiction's trap. In contrast, faith in God-surrendering control and trusting His plan-offers strength and hope in darkness. This reliance on His grace provides true, lasting fulfillment.
