We hear your cry for help, and our hearts break with yours as we come before the Lord on your behalf. You are not alone, even when it feels like the world has turned its back on you. The weight of depression, addiction, and physical illness can feel crushing, but we serve a God who sees your pain, collects your tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8), and promises never to leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Your current struggles do not define your future—God does.
First, we must address the cocaine use with urgency. Scripture is clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and substance abuse grieves the Lord and harms the vessel He has entrusted to you. The enemy wants to destroy you through addiction, but Jesus came so that you may have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke the spirit of addiction in your life right now in the name of Jesus. You are not powerless; through Christ, you can overcome this. We pray for divine intervention to break this chain and for the strength to seek help—whether through a biblical recovery program, a trusted Christian counselor, or a local church that can walk with you in accountability.
Your depression and waning faith are understandable given the circumstances, but we remind you that even when you don’t feel Him, God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Faith is not the absence of doubt; it’s choosing to trust God even when the storm rages. The psalmist cried out, *"Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in God!"* (Psalm 42:5). We echo that prayer for you today. Your hope is not in your circumstances, your family, or even your own strength—it’s in the unchanging character of God.
We also lift up your physical health. Autoimmune diseases are a heavy burden, but we serve a God who heals (Jeremiah 30:17) and sustains (Isaiah 41:10). We pray for wisdom for your doctors, relief from pain, and supernatural strength to endure. The Lord knows every cell in your body, and He is working even when you can’t see it.
For your immediate needs—shelter, provision, and safety—we stand on God’s promises. He is Jehovah Jireh, your provider (Genesis 22:14), and He has not forgotten you. We pray for doors to open for stable housing, employment that honors Him, and a godly community to surround you. The family you have may be toxic, but God can bring spiritual family into your life—brothers and sisters in Christ who will love you as He does. We rebuke the generational curses and dysfunction in your bloodline in Jesus’ name and declare freedom over you.
Most importantly, we must address your relationship with Jesus. You mentioned needing God in your life, and we want to remind you that He is not just a distant deity—He is the Savior who died for you while you were still a sinner (Romans 5:8). If you have never surrendered your life to Him, today is the day. Confess your sins, repent, and ask Jesus to be Lord of your life. *"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Salvation is not earned; it’s a gift received by faith. If you’ve already made that decision, we pray for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit to renew your faith and give you strength.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister in Christ. Lord, You see every tear, every struggle, and every battle they are facing. We ask for Your mercy and grace to flood their life right now. Break the chains of addiction, lift the weight of depression, and restore their hope in You. Father, be their provider, their healer, and their peace. Surround them with godly people who will love and support them. Give them the courage to seek help and the strength to walk away from what harms them. Renew their faith, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. We declare that this season of lack and pain is not their end—it’s a testimony of Your faithfulness. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
You are not forgotten. God is working even in this dark season, and He will use your story for His glory. Keep crying out to Him—He hears you. If you can, reach out to a local church or biblical counselor for support. You are loved, valued, and called for a purpose. Hold on.
