We are deeply grieved to hear of your daughter’s struggle with addiction, and our hearts ache with you as you watch her battle this stronghold. The pain of seeing a loved one ensnared by substances is heavy, but we stand with you in fervent prayer, believing that our God is mighty to save and deliver. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that she might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is written, “No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).
First, we must address the urgency of this battle with the authority we have in Christ. Addiction is not merely a physical or emotional issue—it is a spiritual stronghold that requires the power of God to break. We declare that your daughter is not defined by her struggles, for she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has a purpose for her life that the enemy cannot thwart. But she must turn her heart fully to Jesus, for there is no deliverance apart from Him. If she has not surrendered her life to Christ, we plead with you to pray for her salvation, for “if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36 WEB). Only in Jesus can true freedom be found.
We also recognize the importance of godly boundaries and accountability. If she is living in rebellion, enabling her without calling her to repentance will only deepen the bondage. Proverbs 23:20-21 warns, “Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat; for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” We encourage you to lovingly but firmly stand on God’s truth, even if it means allowing her to face the consequences of her choices. This is not cruelty—it is love, for “faithful are the wounds of a friend” (Proverbs 27:6 WEB).
Now, let us pray together in the name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious daughter who is bound by addiction. Lord, we ask that You break every chain that holds her captive. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in the mighty name of Jesus and command it to leave her now. Father, Your Word says that “whom the Son sets free is free indeed” (John 8:36), so we declare freedom over her life. Soften her heart to receive Your love and truth. If she does not know You as her Savior, we pray that You would draw her to Yourself, for there is no other name under heaven by which she can be saved (Acts 4:12).
Lord, we ask that You surround her with godly influences—people who will speak life, truth, and encouragement into her situation. Give her the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to seek help. We pray for healing in her mind, body, and spirit, for You are the God who restores. Give her parents wisdom, discernment, and courage to stand firm in faith, trusting You even when the path is difficult.
We also pray for any generational curses or strongholds that may be contributing to this battle. Your Word says that the curse without cause doesn’t come (Proverbs 26:2), so we break every ungodly tie in Jesus’ name. We declare that this family will walk in the freedom and victory that Christ purchased on the cross.
Father, we trust You to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28), even in this painful season. We ask that You turn this trial into a testimony of Your power and grace. Strengthen this family’s faith, and let them see Your hand moving in mighty ways. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to seek out a biblical, Christ-centered recovery program for your daughter. Celebrate Recovery and other faith-based programs can be powerful tools in her journey to freedom. Do not lose hope—God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Keep standing on His promises, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.
