| Mercedes' faith in God is the only superpower she needs |
Hi my
name is Mercedes Hughes and I’m making the choice not to drink at prom.
I won’t be drinking at prom because I understand
the harmful effects it can have on my body.
I know that it hurts not only myself but the people I care about
too. But most importantly I wont be drinking
at prom because when you drink you are saying that you and your desires are
more important than God. When you choose
to drink you are blatantly saying that that you are above God and his plan for
you, and that you know what is best for your life, not God.
It is not in God’s plan for me and my
life. His plan for me does not include
conforming to the patterns of this world, but instead it is to live according
to his will. I know it’s not always easy
to stand up against the temptation to fit in by drinking, but we are never
alone through temptation.
In 1
Corinthians 10:13 God promises, “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 can bear. But when you are tempted he will also provide
a way out so that you can endure it.”
