Gambling addiction

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear soul who is bound by the chains of gambling addiction. Father God, we know that You see the struggle, the pain, and the desperation to break free from this destructive cycle. The Bible warns us in 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Gambling is a snare that feeds on greed, deception, and the false hope of quick gain, and we rebuke its grip in the mighty name of Jesus.
Lord, we ask You to break every chain of addiction that has held this precious one captive for so long. Your Word declares in John 8:36, "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." We claim that freedom in Christ—freedom from the compulsion, the shame, and the financial ruin that gambling has brought. We pray for a supernatural intervention, that You would replace the desire to gamble with a hunger for Your presence, Your peace, and Your purpose.
We also recognize that addiction often stems from deeper wounds—perhaps loneliness, stress, or a void that was mistakenly filled with the thrill of risk. Father, we ask You to heal those wounds. Fill this life with Your love, Your joy, and the knowledge that true fulfillment is found only in You. Help them to surrender every fear, every temptation, and every lie that says, "Just one more time," to the cross of Christ.
We encourage you to seek accountability—confide in a trusted believer, join a support group, or speak with a pastor or counselor who can walk alongside you in this battle. The Bible tells us in James 5:16, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." You do not have to fight this alone; the body of Christ is here to support you.
And if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Romans 10:9 says, "If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." There is no freedom, no healing, and no victory outside of Christ. He is the only name by which we can be saved, and it is only through His power that addictions are broken and lives are restored.
Heavenly Father, we stand in the gap for this one who is crying out for deliverance. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the spirit of addiction must bow to the name of Jesus. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, grant them self-control, and lead them into a new season of hope, restoration, and purpose. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
