the power of prayer

I was a heavy smoker for 20 years  - 35 smokes a day - first thing in the morning until last thing at night.  That was over 14 years ago. I quit May 1998 and haven't had a smoke or a craving since. It's as if I never smoked.  I had tried all ways to quit without success before then - quit smoking courses, nicorette chewing gum, nicobate patches. Finally a friend gave me a prayer to say that worked for her and it has worked miraculously for me, as well as others who I have given the prayer to.  (Firstly, if you have prayed to quit smoking before without success, be encouraged, so had I.  But it's our will that Jesus wants, not our smokes. My friend had said to Jesus "Here's my smokes." But Jesus replied "I don't want your smokes I want your will".) So the prayer is: "Dear Jesus, I surrender my will to smoking to You, Jesus. Please deliver me from the addiction to nicotine, Jesus. Thank You for taking the addiction to nicotine away from me Jesus."  So say this prayer every morning while still smoking and at a time when you think you might like to try and quit - perhaps a certain date - stop smoking.  For me it was about 6 weeks later when I had run out of smokes and I thought "Well I might as well try now."  Since that day in May 1998 I have not had one smoke or any craving or desire for a cigarette.  All thanks and praise to our victorious Jesus Christ. He gave me a miracle that day in May 1998 and I will be praying for you too that you will trust Jesus enough to do a miracle in your life too so that you quit smoking FOR GOOD."Patchy"
