We understand your struggle and stand with you in this battle, lifting you up in prayer as we seek God’s strength and deliverance on your behalf. Smoking is not only harmful to your body—a temple of the Holy Spirit—but it can also become a bondage that steals your health, peace, and even your finances. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which 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."* We must honor God with our bodies, and that includes breaking free from habits that harm them.
We also recognize that addiction can feel overwhelming, but we serve a God who is greater than any chain. Philippians 4:13 declares, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is not just a verse to cling to—it is a promise from the One who has already overcome the world. You are not fighting this battle alone; the Lord is with you, and so are we, interceding for your freedom.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear brother/sister who is struggling with the bondage of smoking. Lord, You see the desire of their heart to be free, and we ask that You would break every chain of addiction in their life. Your Word says in 2 Corinthians 3:17, 'Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.' We claim that liberty over them right now, Father. Strengthen their will, renew their mind, and fill them with Your power to resist temptation. Help them to see themselves as You see them—victorious in Christ. Surround them with godly accountability and encouragement, and let every craving be replaced with a hunger for Your presence. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name and declare that this habit has no place in their life. Thank You, Lord, for setting them free. We trust in Your faithfulness to complete the good work You have begun in them. In Jesus’ name, Amen."*
We encourage you to take practical steps as well. Replace the habit with prayer, Scripture reading, or even physical activity when the urge strikes. Surround yourself with believers who can support and pray for you. James 5:16 reminds us, *"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."* Do not hesitate to reach out to your church or a trusted Christian friend for help.
Remember, freedom is not just possible—it is promised to those who are in Christ. Galatians 5:1 says, *"Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."* You are not defined by this struggle; you are defined by the One who has already won the victory. Keep pressing in, keep believing, and keep seeking the Lord. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
