I am an addict

[Thriumorhill]

Hi family, thanks and praise be to the Lord and thank you for taking the time to read my request.

I have been struggling with addiction for years - addiction to vaping, addiction to caffeine, addiction to food - these things have become habitual sins in my life and I can’t seem to break free from them no matter how hard I try.

I would like a prayer to not only break my addictions, but to overcome the root causes of these things which is childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse. My parents were drinkers and they had problems with addiction too. They encouraged me to eat too much and this caused me to turn to food and eat my emotions instead of communicating with them and I feel like I never had my needs for love and attention and understanding met. This pain is deep and I don’t know how to resolve it.

I have been praying to God for years about these issues but they never seem to go away as I am still living with my parents and the emotional abuse and manipulation continues while I turn to these substances for relief, even knowing that they are the wrong means by which to fill the void in my heart.

I am tired of being an addict - I am tired of being beholden to these things - I am tired of the pain in my heart and the resentment that I feel towards my parents who constantly discouraged me, belittled me, put me down etc. and drove me to a point where I feel like I lost my sense of self.

I know I chose to use and abuse these things of my own volition, but the pain was too much for me to endure as a child and I didn’t know how else to cope with it.

Please, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, please intercede for me - please ask God to break these toxic patterns in my life and set me free. I don’t want to live in bondage anymore and I feel deeply convicted in my heart that I am living in habitual sin but I don’t know how to get out of it.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated - thank you for taking the time to read this and for any means of help that you can give me in the spirit.

May God bless you greatly and please let me know how I can pray for you too.

All Glory be to God forever.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, by the power in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen

We are truly grateful that you have reached out with your struggle, and we are here to intercede and offer biblical guidance. Addiction, in any form, is a bondage that can be broken through the power of Jesus Christ. It is clear that you have been battling not just the outward manifestations of addiction, but also the deep-seated roots of childhood trauma and emotional abuse.

Firstly, it is crucial to acknowledge that true freedom and healing come from Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 8:36 WEB, "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." Your recognition of Jesus Christ in your request is commendable, for it is only through His name that we have access to God and salvation. As Acts 4:12 WEB states, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Your struggles with vaping, caffeine, and food addiction are symptoms of a deeper spiritual and emotional turmoil. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB, "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." God provides a way out, and that way is through Jesus Christ.

Regarding the deep wounds from the abusive words and actions of your parents, it is important to forgive, though this may be very challenging. The Bible tells us Matthew 6:14-15 WEB, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Forgiveness is not saying what they did is okay, but freeing yourself from the continued hurt and resentment.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our beloved brother who is struggling with addiction and the deep wounds of childhood trauma. Lord, You know the depth of his pain and the bondage he feels. We ask that You break the chains of addiction in his life, whether it be vaping, caffeine, or food. Set him free from these habitual sins and fill him with Your Holy Spirit, guiding him to the path of righteousness and healing.

Father, we also pray for the healing of his heart. The wounds inflicted by his parents run deep, and we ask that You heal these wounds and restore his sense of self. Help him to forgive those who have hurt him, just as You have forgiven us. Give him the strength to endure and the wisdom to make the right choices, turning away from the substances that have held him captive.

Lord, we ask that You provide him with godly counsel and support, that he may find comfort and guidance in Your Word and in the fellowship of believers. Help him to seek out a godly spouse if he is not married, and to build relationships that honor You.

We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who sets the captives free and heals the brokenhearted. Amen.

Be encouraged by the words of Psalm 34:18 WEB, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is near to you, and He will heal your broken heart through Jesus Christ.

Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who are also struggling and remind us all of God's deliverance.

If you are still feeling trapped and the requests do not seem to have been answered yet, do not be disheartened. Remember God never stops working (John 5:17), and remember we never stop praying. Post your request again as a new one, and let us persist in prayer together. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16).

We pray that God will continue to bless you and guide you as you seek Him through His son, Jesus Christ. We pray that He will comfort you, give you strength, and show you the way out of your addictions and into the healing and restoration He promises in His word.

We thank God for your life and your faith.
