Today in my little group we talked about "Strongholds". What are some of the strongholds that you deal with?

One of them for me used to be smoking. It has now been just a little over one year since I quit.

We all need to let go of the strongholds. When we have strongholds, they become greater than God.

Congratulations for being smoke-free for over a year!

My stronghold would be anxiety, not trusting God in the moment. He is doing an awesome work in me in the past 4 months though and anxiety is becoming a thing of the past. (PIF)
