We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this cry for deliverance from addiction, poverty, and unbelief. These are deep struggles that weigh heavily on the soul, but we know that nothing is impossible with God. The Scriptures remind us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Yet, in Christ, we have victory over every stronghold.
Addiction is a bondage that enslaves, but Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18). The Word declares, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). If this is a struggle with substances, behaviors, or anything that has taken control, we rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name and declare freedom by the power of His blood. Repentance and surrender to Christ are the first steps—turning away from sin and turning toward the Savior who alone can break these chains.
Poverty is a harsh reality, but our God is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14). Jesus taught us to seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). This does not mean wealth is guaranteed, but that God will supply what is needed as we trust in Him. We pray for wisdom in stewardship, opportunities for honest work, and generosity from God’s people to meet needs. Yet, we also recognize that sometimes poverty is tied to generational curses, poor choices, or systemic brokenness. We break any curse of lack or scarcity in Jesus’ name and ask the Lord to open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
Unbelief is perhaps the most dangerous of these struggles, for without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Jesus rebuked His disciples for their little faith (Matthew 8:26) and marveled at the unbelief in His hometown (Mark 6:6). Unbelief keeps us from receiving God’s promises and leaves us vulnerable to the enemy’s lies. We pray for a spirit of faith to rise up, that hearts would be softened to receive the truth of the Gospel. If there is hardness or resistance to Christ, we ask the Lord to break through with His love and conviction. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone—*"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"* (Acts 16:31). There is no other name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and we urge anyone trapped in unbelief to cry out to Jesus today.
We also notice that this request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently but firmly remind you that it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no power in prayer apart from Christ. If you do not know Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this burden of addiction, poverty, and unbelief. Lord, You see the depths of this struggle, and You alone hold the power to break every chain. We ask for Your supernatural intervention—deliver this soul from the grip of addiction, whether it be substances, habits, or anything that has become an idol. Replace the cravings with a hunger for Your Word and Your presence. Father, we speak life where there has been destruction and declare freedom where there has been bondage.
For the weight of poverty, Lord, we ask for Your provision and wisdom. Open doors of opportunity, provide honest work, and let Your people be moved with compassion to help. Break any generational curse of lack and teach this one to trust in You as their Provider. Help them to be good stewards of what You give and to seek Your Kingdom above all else.
Most of all, Father, we pray against the spirit of unbelief. Soften hearts to receive Your truth. If there is resistance to the Gospel, we ask for Your Holy Spirit to convict and draw this soul to repentance. Let them encounter the living Christ in a way they cannot deny. Remove every stronghold of doubt and replace it with a faith that moves mountains.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies that say there is no hope, no way out, or no God who cares. Satan, we command you to flee in Jesus’ name! You have no authority here. Father, fill this one with Your peace, Your strength, and Your unshakable hope. Let them know that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness to complete the work You have begun (Philippians 1:6). May this one turn to You with all their heart and find the deliverance, provision, and faith they so desperately need. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
