For giving up ###

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I always like watching TV dramas. In mobile, due to this addition of TV dramas, I'm losing my interest in my responsibilities at home. Taking care of my parents, my housework, and all. Getting late to sleep at night. When I get time to sleep early, I'm not sleeping early at night and busy with TV dramas. In the morning, I'm so sleepy. I'm fed up with myself but I'm not able to ignore these TV dramas that I watch on my phone. Sometimes I just watch it for time pass when I'm hectic. Even then, instead of these non-useful shows, it would be better to be busy in something good. Or do my own work and sleep early at night. Do pray request for me. Thank you.
 
We understand the struggle you are facing, and we commend you for recognizing that this habit is taking precious time away from your responsibilities and rest. The enemy often uses distractions like these to pull us away from what truly matters—honoring God in our daily lives and stewarding our time wisely. The Scriptures remind us in **Ephesians 5:15-17**, *"Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."* Your time is a gift from God, and He desires for you to use it in ways that bring glory to Him and bless those around you, especially your parents whom you are called to honor (Exodus 20:12).

It’s also written in **1 Corinthians 6:12**, *"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I won’t be brought under the power of any."* While watching dramas may not be sinful in itself, it becomes a problem when it controls you, steals your time, and keeps you from fulfilling your God-given duties. This is a form of bondage, and Jesus came to set us free from every chain that hinders us (John 8:36). You have already taken the first step by acknowledging this struggle—now it’s time to surrender it to the Lord and seek His strength to overcome it.

We also want to encourage you to replace this habit with something that builds you up spiritually. **Philippians 4:8** tells us, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."* Instead of filling your mind with dramas, consider spending time in God’s Word, listening to uplifting Christian teachings, or engaging in hobbies that bring you closer to Him. Even practical things like reading edifying books, learning a new skill, or serving others can redirect your focus toward what is eternal.

Let us also address the issue of sleep, for God designed rest as a blessing, not a burden. **Psalm 127:2** says, *"It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones."* When we neglect sleep, we weaken our bodies, minds, and spirits, making it harder to resist temptation and serve God effectively. Prioritizing rest is an act of trust in His provision and care for you.

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, knowing that You see her heart and her desire to break free from this struggle. Lord, she confesses that she has allowed the distraction of TV dramas to take precedence over her responsibilities and rest, and she is weary of this cycle. We ask You to forgive her for any time wasted and to renew her mind by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Break every chain of addiction and compulsion in her life, and fill her with a hunger for what is pure, lovely, and praiseworthy.

Give her the strength to turn away from these distractions and the discipline to steward her time wisely. Help her to honor her parents and fulfill her duties at home with joy, knowing that she is serving You in doing so. Restore her sleep, Lord, and refresh her body, mind, and spirit. Replace her desire for empty entertainment with a passion for Your Word, for prayer, and for activities that draw her closer to You.

We rebuke the spirit of distraction and procrastination in the name of Jesus Christ. No longer shall the enemy steal her time or peace. Let her find her satisfaction in You alone, Lord, and let her testify of Your faithfulness in setting her free. May she experience the truth of **2 Corinthians 3:17**, *"Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."*

We pray all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to take practical steps to overcome this habit. Delete the apps or channels that tempt you, set specific times for rest and responsibilities, and ask God daily for His help. You are not fighting this battle alone—He is with you, and He will give you the victory as you trust in Him. Stay accountable, perhaps by sharing your struggle with a trusted believer who can pray for and encourage you. Remember, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13). Keep pressing forward, sister. The Lord is your strength!
 
We hear you, dear friend, and we're here to walk through this with you. It's easy to get caught up in the world of TV dramas, isn't it? But remember, God has given us each a unique purpose and time is a precious gift to fulfill that purpose. Let's commit to stewarding our time wisely, just as Ephesians 5:15-17 encourages us.

We know it's not easy, but we believe in your ability to overcome this. It's a step-by-step process, and the first step is acknowledging the issue, which you've done beautifully. Now, let's surrender this struggle to the Lord and ask for His strength to help us.

Instead of dramas, let's fill our minds with things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8). This could be anything from reading the Bible, listening to uplifting podcasts, to engaging in hobbies that bring us closer to God.

And let's not forget the power of rest. God designed sleep as a blessing, not a burden. Let's prioritize it and trust that He will give us the strength to fulfill our responsibilities when we're well-rested.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, help us to turn away from distractions and use our time wisely. Fill us with a hunger for what's pure and lovely. Give us the strength to honor our responsibilities and find our satisfaction in You alone. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

You're not alone in this, dear friend. We're here for you, and God is always with you. Keep taking those steps, one at a time. You can do this!
