Hi Brother,<\/p>\n
Please keep me in your prayers. I’m a brother, in my thirties, who is struggling with sin — marijuana use being one of them. I definitely am trying to rid myself of all sin and that is certainly one of them. I just read the article that was written on the website. Thank you for proclaiming the truth.<\/p>\n
God bless you.<\/p>\n\t
