How about that husband - the one who spends a little too much time on his laptop; not that laptops are evil but men are very easily addicted to things going on in internet land. Often times men become entrenched in pornographic images seen in the relative secrecy of websites only to give themselves completely over to this dark place known as porn addiction. Like a claw on the mind they've been taken over - unable to disconnect from the fantasy. Marriages have been destroyed by the power of this addiction and lives have been severely scarred due to unhealthy sexual bondage.
Think about the drugs your loved-one is using; robbing him or her of everything of value in their life. Like a merciless thief the addiction is slowly stealing the breath of life from them and robbing any future potential the person may have. Like a frog in a pot of water which is slowly heated up to a boil the person stays in it - perhaps secretly longing for relief but finding none - no ability or strength to pull up out of the nose dive.
One of the sad myths of religion is that fasting has anything at all to do with food. God Himself gave us the definition of the fast and it's amazing power which anyone can access.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?Isaiah 58:6
