Ingrained Habits...

If you're in a crisis right now, hang in there! Don't give up. The problems you have in your life didn't get those overnight. You may have worked years getting yourself into this mess. You have a lot of ingrained patterns, bad responses, wrong habits, and wrong ways of responding that have built up over the years. So God won't remove those all at once. It's like peeling an onion. He takes off one layer at a time.

This is from my daily devotion from Rick Warren. It is so true I have a lot of wrong habits that have built up over the years. And now I'm peeling them away to live a right way of life.
