Holding your Breath

Holding your breath? What has that got to do with the topic of your blog? Your probably wondering that, in order to answer that I want to tell you what I was thinking the other day(which I do a lot of) when this topic came to mind.
Holding your breath is hard. But it gets even harder when you let out a little air, and a tad more, and just a tinsy bit more...and so forth. It is easiest (not that it is easy at all but anyway..) to hold your breath for the longest time without letting out any air whatsoever. Sin is the same way, the more we indulge in it the more air we let out, and the more we release the harder it is to hold it in. When you stumble and let out a gasp of that spiritual breath, pray and ask the Lord to help you, he will but it will still take some effort on your part to hold the remainder of your breath until He pours his grace on you and refills your lungs and strengthens your muscles.
