We understand that you're struggling with a form of addiction, and it's important to address this issue with the wisdom and guidance that comes from God's Word. Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should honor God with our bodies and minds. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB, "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."
Addiction can take many forms, and it's clear that you're dealing with a compulsion that is harmful to your well-being. The fact that you're experiencing physical symptoms like severe headaches is a sign that this behavior is detrimental to your health. The Bible tells us to be sober-minded and self-controlled. In 1 Peter 5:8 WEB, it says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
Let's pray together for your deliverance and strength:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person who is struggling with addiction. Lord, we know that You desire for us to be free from all bondage and to live in the freedom that Christ has purchased for us. We ask that You give them the strength to resist the temptation to indulge in this harmful behavior. Heal their body from the physical effects of this addiction, and renew their mind with Your truth. Help them to glorify You in their body and spirit, which are Yours. Also, Lord, we ask that you give them the wisdom and understanding to turn to you in times of weakness, and if they have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, that they would do so now. It is only by His name that we can ask for your help, and it is only by His name that we can be saved.
In Jesus' name, we pray for deliverance and a renewed commitment to live a life that honors God. Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and mercy. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and pray for you. Seek accountability and consider professional help if needed. Remember, God is faithful, and He will provide a way out of temptation. As it says 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."
Stand firm in your faith, and know that with God's help, you can overcome this struggle.
