Chapter Ten

••Niall's POV••

"I'm going over to Aspyn's bus for devotion, anyone wanna join?" I was about to head out the door, but I decided to stop to see if anyone wanted to come before I left.

"Yeah I guess I will. I don't have anything else to do." Harry said getting up and walked over towards me.

"Anyone else want to come?" I looked around at everyone.

"No I'm good." Louis said.

"No thanks" Liam added.

I knew Zayn wouldn't want to come since he is Muslim. I didn't want to ask him think that I'm trying to push a different religion on him or anything. Since nosy else want to come Harry and I headed out. I really wanted the rest of the band to get saved. I've been saved for about two months now. Of course there has been some struggles, but I know that I can make it.

My biggest struggle so far has been the whole not drinking thing. If you know me then you know that I love to drink. I've been doing my best to stop. I don't drink as much as I used too. I'm honestly proud of myself.

Me and Harry walked over to Aspyn's bus and Josh was just arriving. He knocked in the door. When it was opened, there stood Tiffany.

"Hey! Come on in!" She said smiling. We stepped into the bus and seen everyone gathered in the living room. I sat down next to Aspyn and Harry next to me.

"Hey how are you?" Aspyn turned and looked at me and Harry.

"Good." Me and Harry said in unison. I looked around to see who all was here. There was a good number of people here.

"Okay, let's get started." Aspyn said. She had her phone in her hand. That's where she got the devotion from. She read the Scripture first.

It was Isaiah 43:2, "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you."

The devotion was about how God is with us whenever we go through hard times. After the devotion we did prayer. We always took up prayer request first.

"Pray for my mom. I just got word that she's in the hospital. The doctor said that her appendix burst." Nick, one of our sound men said.

"Oh my! We will definitely pray for him," Aspyn had a worried look on her face. "Anyone else?" She looked around.

"Me and my husband put our house on the market today, so please pray for God's will." May said.

"Alright." Aspyn nodded.

A few other requests were taken up, and then we prayed. I noticed that the whole time Harry seemed really into what was going on. He didn't just sit there all bored like.

One we got done praying I had a question to ask. "Hey, Aspyn?"

"Yeah?" She looked over at me.

"I have had some cravings for alcohol lately. I've been praying about it, but I'm still struggling. What can I do to help the cravings go away?"

"Well, if I were you, I would fast. Do it for say a week. When ever you feel the need to drink, go spend some time with God. You don't have to spend two hours praying every time you get a craving, but simply, read a verse. Read one that says not to drink. It will help you have the ambition to follow God's word, and not drink. That doesn't mean you won't have a craving. When you are fasting, you are sacrificing something to God. I'll don't know them off the top of my head, but I will find some Scriptures on fasting and text them to you."
