Drug abuse is deadly and no child should ever be involved in it as it has destroyed a lot of children who are supposed to be the future leaders of their generation. There are lots of children in the society that are involved in taking drugs, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, taking all sorts of substances that even the government has banned. This makes them involved in all sorts of crime in the society. You should never desire to be like them as they are under the influence and control of the devil.
If you are involved already whether secretly or openly in drugs or any substance, you must repent and promise God never to take them again. Then you must avoid those bad friends that influence you to take them, as evil communication corrupts good manners.

Prayer for today: Lord, give me the power to overcome the temptation to be involved in drug abuse.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
