 Gerald G. May, MD: “I am not being flippant when I say that all of us suffer from
addiction. Nor am I reducing the meaning of addiction. I mean in all truth that the
psychological, neurological, and spiritual dynamics of full-fledged addiction are actively
at work within every human being. The same processes that are responsible for
addiction to alcohol and narcotics are also responsible for addiction to ideas, work,
relationships, power, moods, fantasies, and an endless variety of other things. We are all
_________ in every sense of the word.” (Addiction & Grace 3, 4)

 #2—A___________ through P________ (your dependence on God).
 Rick Warren: “Think of it this way: You have a small battery inside of you. It has a
limited amount of energy. When it depletes, you shut down. At the same time, God
offers you access to his unlimited power plant. All you need to do is plug in—and the
power cord is ____________ .” (The Daniel Plan 52)
 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the __________, and he will flee from you.
Come near to ___________ and He will come near to you.” (James 4:7, 8)
 “__________ upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you; and you will glorify
Me.” (Psalm 50:15)
 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is
faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you __________________.” (1
Corinthians 10:13)
 #3—A_________ the P_______ (of God’s promises).
 “He has given us His very great and precious ______________, so that through
them you may participate in the divine nature, having ____________ the corruption
in the world caused by evil desires.” (2 Peter 1:4)
“I have hidden Your __________ in my heart that I might not sin against You.”
(Psalm 119:11)

may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James
5:16)
 “Carry each other’s _________, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
(Galatians 6:2)
 “Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that
feels its nothingness and relies wholly on the merits of the Saviour. By prayer, by the
study of His word, by faith in His abiding presence, the weakest of human beings
may live in contact with the living Christ, and He will hold them by a hand that will
never let go.” (Ministry of Healing 182)
