Prayer for Addiction
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for letting me come to you with anything, big or small. I am so grateful that You promise to listen to my prayers.
I feel like I’m going crazy. It is so hard to stop the very thing that I know is hurting me. I feel like a failure, like I have no control over my life. Help me to remember when I feel like this that there are great men of the Bible who felt just like me and overcame. Apostle Paul who wrote more books than anyone in the Bible said, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate to do, I do.” (Rom 7:15). I am so grateful that You understand how hard this is for me.
Lord I cannot do this alone. I need your help. My flesh is weak, but You promise that when I am weak, You are strong (2 Cor 12:10). Be my strength. Quiet any thoughts in my mind that try to tell me I’m not good enough or strong enough. I don’t have to be because You are with me to help me and protect me. You will not let me fall (Psa 121:3).
Send help. Provide a distraction. Remind me that I will never be tempted beyond what I can bear and that You will always provide an escape route (1 Cor 10:13). Show me the escape. Take over my thoughts. Replace the desires of my heart. I need You.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
