As we all know, breaking bad habits and/or creating new positive ones is no small feat. What we might not realize, however, is that God‘s word can provide us with the guidance and encouragement we need to better ourselves and imitate Christ. When we feel lost or doubtful, scripture can serve as a roadmap to get us back on track.
We pray this gathering of Bible verses on habits is able to provide the guidance and encouragement you seek.

The goal of The Redeemed is to provide men a supportive, communal environment where they can discuss their problems, worries, and feelings of “brokenness” without fear of being judged or censored. Please consider joining us for one of our online small groups.
In these challenging, uncertain times, many men feel broken and alone. The Redeemed aims to show them they’re not alone in their brokenness, and that God’s love and strength are available to them too—not in spite of their human failings, but because.
If you would like to tell your story, talk, have someone listen, or surround yourself with those who have experienced brokenness and restoration, please contact The Redeemed. Also, consider joining one of The Redeemed’s small groups!
