Do you
know someone who is enslaved by the use of narcotics or alcohol or some other destructing
habit? You’ve done everything you can
think of to help them, but to no avail.
God cares and knows you and the addicted person is hurting. He wants to help. You pray for them, but you are not really
sure of how to pray. Here is sample prayer
you might use.
Jesus, you are the same yesterday
and today and forever and nothing is impossible for you. You have the power to heal those who are
struggling with addictions. I pray for name here and lift him/her up to
you and ask that you strip him/her from the unhealthy desires. I pray that they no longer desire to be a
slave of wrong habits and behaviors or be under these powers. Help them to reach out for help. Put God-fearing people in their path to help
and support them.
Help them not continue to make the
same mistakes over and over. Expose them
to these wrong thought patterns. I pray
that they confess this as sin and turn to you. May they desire to be filled and
controlled by your Holy Spirit.
Show them ways and open doors in
which they may beat these bad habits and cravings. Put good influences in their life while
taking those that are bad out of their life.
Surround name here with good and wholesome people to support
them. Give them courage and hope. Bless them with the persistence to preserver.
You, Lord are our Creator and we
trust you. We turn name here over to you.
Put your loving arms around name
here and protect him/her from the enemy’s powers.
Thank you, God for hearing my prayer. I believe that you are working on name here behalf. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Now
keep praying and don’t give up. Remember
you can’t fix them, only God can. He is
the one who is in control. You just be
supportive and faithful in prayer.
“Pray without ceasing” – 1 Thess. 5:17
