Stuck with a bad habit? Not me!
My fingernails looked awful! Biting them was a bad habit. Bad habits can be hard to break.
My parents tried to help me stop. But they didn’t know why I did it. The reason was that sometimes kids called me names and said awful things. I bit my nails when I felt nervous and upset.
I wanted to stop. But how? I wondered if God could help me. I had felt God’s guidance and care and healing power many times. So I prayed.
