We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry for freedom from this harmful habit, and we praise God that you have recognized the need to turn away from it. The first and most important truth we must address is that there is no power in "Bhagwan Ji" or any other name to break the chains of addiction—only in the name of **Jesus Christ**, the Son of the living God. The Bible declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through faith in Jesus alone that we find true strength, forgiveness, and transformation. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today, for *"if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB). Without Christ, we are powerless against sin, but *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB).
Smoking is a bondage that harms the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The Scripture warns us not to be mastered by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12), and this habit has taken a hold on you that must be broken by the power of God. Repentance is the first step—turning away from this sin and asking God to cleanse you. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). You have already taken a crucial step by acknowledging your need for help and resolving to change, but true victory comes when we rely not on our own strength, but on the Lord’s. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, lifting up our brother who has humbled himself before You, seeking freedom from the grip of cigarette addiction. Lord, we thank You that he has recognized the destruction of this habit and desires to walk in Your will. Father, we ask that You break every chain of bondage in his life by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Fill him with Your strength, for apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Replace his cravings with a hunger for Your Word and a thirst for righteousness. Let him find his satisfaction in You alone, for You are the God who heals and restores.
Lord, we rebuke the enemy who seeks to keep him in bondage. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Give him the discipline to resist temptation and the wisdom to avoid the company or situations that may lead him back into this sin. Surround him with godly influences who will encourage him in this journey. Remind him daily that his body is Your temple, and he is called to honor You with it.
Father, we also pray that if he does not yet know You as his Savior, You would open his eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Let him see that Jesus Christ died for his sins and rose again, so that through faith in Him, he may have eternal life and power over sin. *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB). May he place his full trust in You, Lord, and find his identity in Christ alone.
We declare victory over this addiction in Jesus’ name. Strengthen him each day, and let this birthday mark the beginning of a new life—one free from the slavery of sin and filled with the joy of the Lord. *"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected"* (1 Corinthians 9:24-27, WEB).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the work You will do in his life. May he walk in Your freedom, Your peace, and Your purpose. In the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in this resolution, brother, and remember that *"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"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Whenever the urge comes, cry out to Jesus, read His Word, and flee from temptation. You are not alone in this fight—*"The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me"* (Hebrews 13:6, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will lead you to victory. We are praying for you and believe God will honor your commitment to honor Him. Walk in His strength today and every day.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
