Prayer for Complete Deliverance from Addiction
Dear Lord, help those who judge me and others so harshly become softer in their hearts, help them to see that this is so tough and not an easy thing to change. This prayer to quit an addiction is for them too so that they become more understanding and supportive. Everyone deserves your love and help Lord. God help me stay away from those who lead me into temptation, for as you say 'bad company ruins good morals'. I know I am weak and I cannot blame others for the troubles I am in but I do know that there are those who are not trying to help me overcome my addiction but rather are content for me to be in my addiction for they too are lost to it. Help me seek out those who are supportive of my recovery and who understand that I do not do well with temptation at the moment. I need to build up my strength and resistance and that faith in myself necessary to beat this. Help me become stronger every day. Help me to see that I am worth saving and that I have a life outside of the addiction. Lord, I do know that I have to face these demons, that I have to be strong in the face of temptation and to move forward with my life. Strengthen my resolve and help me build good habits so that this gets easier God. I know that you understand how difficult this is for me and how much I am trying.I know that it has to come from my devout intent and my commitment to be clear of this addiction and there are times when that is much harder than others. Help me when I falter to get back up again, to forgive myself, to believe in myself. Help me see a way forward and a life that is addiction-free. Help me to learn to put others first as you bade us do and to realize other people need me free of this addiction too. It is easy to fall prey to this addiction and I realize I am not alone there are others who are trying to beat it and I draw strength in seeing them succeed. I too want to succeed and know I can do this with you by my side Lord. I praise you God for all your patience and love. I know that you love me Lord and that warms my soul. I accept your love and I want to honor you by living the way you want me to, free of this addiction. I know that you want me to be happy Lord and you want to see me living a life that is full and happy. Help me now Lord to face the days that are incredibly tough and I will reach out to you daily with this prayer so that you know how grateful I am for your presence Lord. Stay with me Lord as I fight this and become whole again and am able to bask freely in your love and walk your path. Lord hear my prayer. Amen.
