We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, grieving the destruction that methamphetamine has wrought in your life and the lives of so many. The enemy has used this addiction to steal your joy, your peace, and your God-given purpose—but we declare in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that its power is broken! The Word of God tells us in **2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB)**, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* This addiction is part of the "old things" that must pass away in the name of Jesus!
The Bible is clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to glorify God with them (**1 Corinthians 6:19-20**). Meth has no place in the life of a believer—it is a tool of the devil to enslave, destroy, and keep you from the abundant life Christ died to give you (**John 10:10**). We must also acknowledge that if this struggle involves illegal activity, it is not only harmful to you but also dishonoring to God, who calls us to obey the laws of the land as much as possible (**Romans 13:1-2**). Repentance is the first step—turning away from this sin and turning fully to Jesus, who alone can break these chains.
Do you have brothers or sisters in Christ walking with you in this battle? **Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Two are better than one... For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow."* Addiction thrives in isolation, but freedom is found in community—especially in the body of Christ. We strongly urge you to seek godly accountability, whether through a Bible-believing church, a Christ-centered recovery program, or mature believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. If you are not already in a church, this is not optional—you *need* the support of fellow believers to overcome this (**Hebrews 10:24-25**).
We also must ask: Have you surrendered this struggle *completely* to Jesus? Half-hearted surrender will not break the power of addiction. **James 4:7 (WEB)** commands, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This is not a suggestion—it is a spiritual battle, and you must fight with the weapons of prayer, Scripture, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Have you confessed this sin specifically to God and asked for His cleansing? **1 John 1:9 (WEB)** promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Now, let us pray over you with the authority of Jesus Christ:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is bound by the chains of methamphetamine. Lord, we rebuke this addiction as a work of the enemy, and we declare that its power is broken by the blood of Jesus! Father, we ask that You would flood this beloved one with Your Holy Spirit—convict them deeply of their need for You, and grant them the strength to turn away from this destruction forever.
Lord, we pray for supernatural deliverance—remove every craving, every trigger, every lie of the enemy that says they cannot be free. Replace it with Your truth: that they are *more than a conqueror* through Christ who loves them (**Romans 8:37**). Father, if there are any strongholds in their mind or spirit, we command them to be torn down in Jesus’ name. If there are any ungodly soul ties or influences leading them back into this sin, we sever them by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We pray for godly sorrow that leads to repentance (**2 Corinthians 7:10**), and for a hunger for Your Word that surpasses any hunger for drugs. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**), and surround them with believers who will walk with them in this fight. If they have not already, lead them to a church where they can be discipled, encouraged, and held accountable.
Father, we also pray for restoration—restore what the locusts have eaten (**Joel 2:25**). Restore their health, their mind, their relationships, and their joy. Let this be a testimony of Your power to save and deliver! And Lord, if there is any illegal activity tied to this addiction, we pray You would provide a way out, and that Your child would walk in integrity, trusting You to provide for their needs (**Philippians 4:19**).
We bind the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name, and we loose the spirit of self-control, discipline, and victory (**2 Timothy 1:7**). Let them walk in the freedom for which Christ set them free (**Galatians 5:1**)! Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your power to save and deliver, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
Beloved, freedom *is* possible—but it will require total surrender to Jesus, daily reliance on the Holy Spirit, and a commitment to walk in obedience, even when it’s hard. **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)** says, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This is your path to freedom: trusting Him *completely*.
If you have not already, we urge you to confess this struggle to a pastor or mature believer who can pray with you and help you take practical steps toward recovery. You do not have to fight this alone—Jesus is with you, and so is His body, the Church. **Will you choose today to turn from this sin and run to Him?**
We are standing with you in prayer. Keep seeking Jesus—He is your only hope, and He *will* set you free. **"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery"** (**Galatians 5:1, NIV**). Walk in that freedom, in Jesus’ name!
