I need prayer for an addiction. I'm addicted and obsessed with Sherlock Holmes. I have been since I was 13 years old and I'm now 26 years old. I literally can't stop myself from thinking about him all the time. I look at pictures and watch shows of him all the time. It's weird but I feel like I need to keep staring at his picture and watch shows of him. I know I don't need to but I feel like I need to if that makes any sense at all and when I can't I get very antsy. But when I dabble in that when I come back to reality I feel convicted and guilty for not spending that time with GOD it is idolatry. I have asked GOD many times to make Sherlock Holmes real which of course won't happen. I have daydreamed of him constantly. I can't stop myself and I know I need to. This is gonna sound very weird but I think I've fallen in love with Sherlock Holmes. As weird and as impossible as that may seem I think I have. I don't want to because he isn't real. Even while I'm reading the Bible he pops back into my head. I found a good ministry online called Faith Comes By Hearing and I listen to and read the Bible there and he still pops into my head. When I wake up he's there. When I go to bed he's there. I listen to music he's there. I'm at Church he's there. I don't want him to be there but he is. I know it's weird but part of me is almost expecting him to be real and just suddenly appear and then my dreams would come true. Doing my best to not think of Sherlock Holmes by reading the Bible and listening to Christian music and CR and Church and Christian chatrooms and Christian forums but he's still there he never goes away. No matter what I do he's always there even though I don't want him to be. It's weird but sometimes I am glad for this addiction obsession because even though I know it's wrong it does feel good to think of him as a husband. I haven't had a date or any attention from any guys at all in 4 years this June. I mean literally nothing from guys not even a wink nothing and I am a human being after all. So it feels good to think of someone giving me some attention. I have wished many times that my obsession wouldn't be a bad thing that GOD would tell me it's ok and it's not a sin which of course He's not gonna do that. It's just part of me still hopes that Sherlock Holmes will become real and I can't seem to let go of that hope even though I need to. If I had the power to make Sherlock real then I would in a heartbeat without thought I don't have that power though but I wish I did. So please pray as I really need GOD's help with this addiction obsession and if He doesn't help me there will be no getting rid of Sherlock Holmes.

Let’s Pray…God I ask in Jesus’ name that You will bless me exceedingly abundantly above all I have ever asked, thought, dreamed or prayed. Let the favor of God rest upon my life. Bless me financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. Lead, guide, and direct my footsteps and the words of my mouth. Bless me with a made up mind to always and forever live a lifestyle that is pleasing and acceptable unto God according to God’s Word. Bless me Lord Jesus. Enlarge my territory. Let Your hands be with me, keep me from all evil, so that I will not cause any pain. Give Your angels charge over me to protect and keep me walking in all Your ways; so that I will be pleasing in Your sight. And bless me to fall more in love with You with each passing day, month, and year. God do this for me today, tomorrow, and for always. I Love You Lord Jesus. God all that I have asked You to in this prayer, please do the same for all those I love, care about, and the writer of this prayer. Amen, So Be It, And It Is So. <><><> When you find yourself in a pit: https://www.prayerrequest.com/blog/183/entry-17589-when-you-find-yourself-in-a-pit/ <><><> A Prayer For Protection: https://www.prayerrequest.com/blog/183/entry-17535-prayer-of-protection/

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
