REPENTING OF HARMFUL ADDICTIONS
Dear Heavenly Father, I, ____________________________________, do confess that I have abused my body and endangered my physical health with harmful addictions. Please forgive me for abusing my body with mind-altering drugs, alcohol, or harmful substances. I renounce the sinful pleasures and sinful fellowships that these substances create and the sinful activities that follow their use. I renounce any satanic involvement or influence that may be working in my life as a result of using harmful substances. I recognize that the devil seeks to destroy lives and break up families with such addictive behavior. I ask that you forgive me of walking in this manner and cleanse me of all of this unrighteousness. I ask that you will have mercy on me and heal me of the damage that has been done to my health. Restore my health, my mind and any broken relationships that have resulted from my use of drugs or alcohol. Forgive me and help me to make restitution to any I may have harmed or abused while under the satanic influence of mind-altering substances and drinks.
I, _____________________________________, surrender my life to the Lord Jesus Christ and cast my burdens upon Him. I release my substance abuse and any other sins connected to this from my life. I cancel out all legal claims to my life that evil spirits have gained because of my willful involvement in substance abuse and any other sins resulting from the use of these harmful substances. I pray, Heavenly Father, that you will completely deliver me from my dependence and/or addictions to these harmful substances and the desire to ever abuse myself with them ever again. Pull down all strongholds and addictions that have been erected by the enemy to keep me in bondage to harmful substances. I choose to be a good steward of my health and practice self-control, temperance and/or abstinence as taught in the word of God. Thank you for deliverance, healing and help to overcome alcoholism and/or substance abuse, in Jesus precious name, amen.

A PRAYER FOR HEALING
Lord, I ask, You, to please have mercy on me and forgive me of all my sins. I believe all physical, mental, and spiritual healing has already been provided for me in the atonement. Lord, I repent of my sins and ask You to cleanse me of all unrighteousness. I now appropriate Your healing power to be released into my life. Take away all my sickness and pain and help me to have a closer walk with You. Deliver me from every physical and spiritual problem and remove every hindrance to my healing. You are the Lord that heals us and takes away all of our sickness and disease (Ex. 15:26). I thank You, heavenly Father, for this benefit that is available to me through faith in Christ and what He has accomplished for me on the cross. By my faith in Christ I choose to become a recipient of Your healing power that restores and makes whole. Grant me full pardon for all my sins that I have confessed and renounced and release me from all judgment and chastisement. Help me to always examine my walk with You and correct my steps so I will not have to endure Your chastening. Allow me to now receive the promise of Your healing. Help me walk in Your holy ways and always have a close walk with Christ that I may be the recipient of an abundant and happy life free from sin and sickness, in Jesus name, amen
