We are truly sorry to hear about the struggle with addiction and its impact on life.
Firstly, we commend you for recognizing the issue and seeking help from God. Remember, God is always ready to help us in our times of need. As it says in Hebrews 4:16 WEB, "Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need."
However, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
We are clear that Jesus came to set the captives free. In Luke 4:18 WEB, Jesus Himself said, "'The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed.'"
To address the addiction, we must remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. As it says in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is battling with addiction. Lord, You know the struggle and the pain it has caused. We ask for Your divine intervention, that You would break these chains of addiction and set them free.
Father, give them the strength and courage to overcome this addiction. Help them to draw near to You in their time of need, knowing that You are always there to help and support them.
Fill them with Your Spirit of power, love, and self-control. Guide them in the path of righteousness, and help them to live a life that is pleasing to You.
We also rebuke anything that may be responsible for this addiction. It has no place. We declare it gone in Jesus' name.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
