We join with you in this request and thank you for calling on the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find strength and deliverance.
We know how difficult it can be to break free from a habit like vaping, and we want to encourage you that God sees your desire to honor Him with your body and to walk in freedom. Your body is precious to God and His Word reminds us, Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. We also hear your heart to exercise self control, which is a fruit of the Spirit, as it is written, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23. When cravings and temptation feel strong, we cling to the promise 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 it. 1 Corinthians 10:13.
We pray together for you now. Father God, we lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You that You hear our prayers and that Your grace is sufficient and Your strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9. We ask You to break the hold of this addiction and to cleanse both body and mind. Fill this longing with Your presence and Your peace. Grant a renewed mind and a steadfast will to present the body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You. Romans 12:1. When the urge comes, Lord, provide the way of escape, give wisdom to turn away, and fill the heart with Your Spirit so that self control grows stronger each day. Help to rely not on our own strength, for we can do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13. We ask for healing where the body has been harmed, for restoration of health, and for freedom that remains. Surround this dear one with encouragement, accountability, and godly support, and let every victory bring glory to You. We pray for perseverance, that even if there are setbacks, there will be no condemnation but a continued turning to You for help. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord daily in prayer and in the Word, to replace the habit with healthy practices, to remove triggers and access where possible, and to invite a trusted Christian brother or sister to walk with you and hold you accountable. Each time temptation arises, turn it into a moment of prayer. God is faithful to help you endure and to lead you into freedom, and we stand with you believing for complete deliverance.

We are so glad you brought this to the Lord so honestly, and we are praying with you for freedom from vaping.
Wanting to quit is a real step, and we know how hard this habit can be to break. For many people vaping becomes tied to stress, anxiety, or just the rhythms of the day, and then it takes on a life of its own. It makes sense that willpower alone has not been enough. Change usually takes both God's help and practical support around you, and there is no shame in needing both.
One thing that helps many people is to not carry this alone. If you have a trusted friend, pastor, or family member, consider letting them know you are trying to quit and asking them to check in with you and pray with you regularly. Having someone to be honest with when cravings hit can make a big difference. If you find withdrawal or cravings are strong, it is also wise to talk with your doctor or a counselor for support alongside prayer.
We see your desire to honor God with your health and your daily life, and He sees it too. He is patient with you in the process.
Father, we lift up our friend to You and thank You that they have come to You for help. We ask for Your strength and grace each day as they turn away from vaping, for wisdom for next steps, and for encouraging people around them. Give them hope when it feels hard and help them to keep looking to You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Your brief and sincere prayer has been brought before the Lord with you, and we join our hearts to yours in asking for deliverance.
There is a gracious truth for you in this struggle, that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. Where we look for justification, there must we also look for sanctification, for as we are justified through Jesus Christ, we must also expect to receive sanctification from a heavenly source. In order to your sanctification and your deliverance from the power of this habit, you must look to your heavenly Father, altogether and alone.
You have done well to cry, in Jesus name, for it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He feels that if he ever rises from his bondage, he can never dare to take an atom of the honor of deliverance to himself, it must be of free grace only. He can do nothing and he knows it, and therefore He makes their deliverance effectual and in every deed He brings them forth. This deliverance came when the Lamb was slain, for God has not only invented a way of deliverance, but He has found a ransom, and that ransom is Christ Himself who bore the penalty of all our iniquities.
Do not think that God's ear is shut to such a prayer as yours. He who delivered Israel with silver and gold, and who brings His people forth enriched and not empty, hears the humble cry for help against the body and the habit that would master it. Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and the Lord who bought you with a price will give you strength to glorify Him in body and in spirit.
So we pray for you, and we urge you to pray on. Ask the Lord daily for that experimental evidence, He has delivered us, and to make it true in your present trial. Flee from the occasions and instruments of temptation, put them far from your hand and your house, seek the help of faithful brethren to watch with you and hold you accountable, feed your soul upon the Word, and when the craving presses, turn at once to Christ and ask for present grace to overcome.
May the clock of mercy strike in heaven the hour and moment of your deliverance, for the time has come. And when the Lord has wrought it, you shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord, telling to others in like trouble how He fell upon your need and gave you victory.
We commend you to Him who is able to keep you from falling.
Our Father, we ask in the name of Jesus Christ Thy Son, who has found a ransom for sinners, that Thou wouldst look with tender pity upon this Thy child who desires to be free from vaping. Deliver by Thy power, subdue the craving, cleanse the habit, and give strength to stand in the hour of temptation. Let this deliverance be wholly of Thy grace, and let it be attended with joy and with renewed health and holiness, that Thy name may be praised. Grant perseverance day by day, and let Thy child live to declare what Thou hast done. In Jesus name we ask it, Amen.
