Day 12 of Detoxing: Relax! God Takes Care of It All!

I’m now twelve days into my detox journey, and I can confidently say the worst is behind me. Over the past several days, I’ve noticed something extraordinary: God truly works all things for good. He’s always present, but we’re often not aware of His presence. I believe one reason for this is the saturation of our blood and minds with the unnatural agents our bodies don’t recognize, slowly poisoning us.

We’re so intoxicated and accustomed to this state that we don’t even feel it anymore. For most of us, this has been true since birth.

Yesterday, I wrote a short article explaining how detoxing and the die-off of the “intruders” (which everyone has within their body) initiates a roller coaster of emotions: five minutes you’re cold, five minutes you’re hot; one moment you’re steady as a mountain, the next you’re angry for no apparent reason.

I also pointed out how old addictions can resurface during this process. These parasitic “hijackers” of our nervous system seem to fight for their survival, using every tool at their disposal to manipulate their host into acting against his own interests.

In my own case, I felt a strong desire to light a cigarette, despite having quit over five years ago. Even stranger, I found myself craving a strong alcoholic drink, though I’ve never liked alcohol and have never been a drinker, not even during holidays.

Here’s where synchronicity stepped in. There’s a health store I’ve been ordering supplements from, and for over a month one item sat in my cart. I finally ordered it, hoping it would enhance my training sessions. When it arrived and I took my first drink of glutamine, I was struck by how good it tasted. Later, I researched it further and discovered one of its main benefits: reducing cravings for nicotine and alcohol.

I never planned to take anything to suppress cravings. Yet here it was, exactly what I needed, arriving at exactly the right time. The cravings have now subsided, and I no longer feel drawn toward anything unhealthy.

Moments like this remind me we are being watched over by an intelligence far greater than our own. It’s okay to relax, let go, and surrender everything into the Father’s hands.

But there’s one thing you must do: Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
