Addictions To Overcome

[pivy]

Hello everyone... I am going through a hard time and don't know how to get on... I am lying and deceiving and do not know how to stop... I am in so much trouble right now I don't know where to pick up again. It is like a huge wall in front of me I do not have a chance of ever to get over... please pray that God shows me the way and gives me the strength to go on in my life and fight my addictions and to not hurt the people around me... Thank you!

Please God, help him break the chains of his addictions. Please help him replace them with what You would like him to say and do. Lord please help him remember Ephesians 6:10-18 and put on the armor of God often so he will be strong enough to break the bonds of sin in his life, in Jesus' name.

Ye, therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen

2 Peter 3:17-18

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. " 1John 1:9-10

Heavenly Father, in Jesus name, thank you for your grace and forgiveness of our sins against you and others. May the people we've hurt forgive us, and may you bring healing to the wounds inflicted through our carelessness and selfishness. Create in us a new heart and renew a right spirit within us, that we may bear fruit worthy of repentance. Merciful Father, help us to always walk in the light, as You are in the light, that we may have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son, cleanse us from all sin. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for hearing us and for answering us in our prayer. Amen

Thank you so much for caring and praying...it means a lot to me...I feel so alone and have not told anyone about my problems...although I have to admit this is only because I have not revealed to anyone what I am facing...but how can you tell somebody if you fear that by telling you would be abandoned...the mess is getting bigger and bigger by the day...and still I am sitting there without a clue...and nurturing my addictions...and waiting for a way out...and my only last hope is God....I have given my life to Him several years ago and I hope that He takes care of me now...please pray that He shows me the way and gives me strength...Thanks!

Child of Gd rest assured that even in our darkest moments God does not leave us. hold on tight to him...and when our addiction feels like it's coming in..pray in Jesus name and he will grant you the strength. Never lose hope..Father listen to my prayer and help your child out of addiction and cast all evil away.

I don't know what addictions you are suffering, but I'll definitely pray for you. My husband is suffering from addictions that have cost him his freedom. I know it seems hard, but remember, God will never abandon you. My husband kept his secrets due to the same fears, but you have something he doesn't: a connection with God that can't be severed.

Just like I pray for my husband's salvation, so he can be honest with me, and his family so he can come home to me and our children, I pray that the Lord will provide you with the strength you need to be honest with your loved ones, and overcome this addiction you struggle with. Just remember you are never alone.

Hello again...and thank you again for your prayers!

You know I feel a little confused...not a little but a lot...sorry for rambling on and my English

How can you know that something is unimaginably bad for you and still keep doing it?

Why do you keep everything to yourself and don’t have the courage to ask those around you for help who you think do love you? Ok… I know the answer to this one… because I fear that then I will be left alone… I feel ashamed… bad times… but my loved ones would turn away from me because I have disappointed them too many times… and lied… that’s the worst of it I guess and what I fear the most of coming to the surface.

It is so hard to imagine that God is there and although I pray so many times to Him there is no light at the end of the tunnel… reading the Bible and trying to understand… I read John several times now

and what is written there sounds really nice… but somehow I feel it is not applying to me.

Anyway… either way I have to do something or wait for something to happen. The logical thing would be to take a stand and quit whatever it may be. But that’s not just it. If I will quit there are the next obstacles coming around. Like some exams… and I haven’t studied so failure is the only option because there is not enough time.

So it feels to me that there is no chance at all and waiting for something to happen is the only option. And I pray to Jesus that something happens… and nothing does. Ok… Something is… I am writing to you.

What I wanted to say is: please pray that God gives me some more self-consciousness and the strength to do something about my circumstances! TY

One thing I would like to add...feels like I have to voice it out "loud":

Thank you Jesus for my best friend ### who I have met in the US and who brought me to you. He and his family were the most caring and loving people I have ever seen...and made me believe in Christianity. Please protect them wherever they may be now.
