Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with heavy hearts, seeking Your guidance and strength as we pray for those who are battling addiction. We know, Lord, that addiction is a stronghold that can only be overcome through the power of Your love and grace. We come to You, believing in Your healing power and surrendering ourselves to Your divine plan.

Your Word, Lord, reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:13, that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." We hold onto this promise, knowing that even in our darkest moments, You are with us.

Jesus, our Savior, we ask that You extend Your hand of mercy and compassion to those who are struggling with addiction. Your Word in Matthew 11:28 reminds us, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Lord, we pray for rest, peace, and freedom for those who are enslaved by addiction. May they find solace in Your presence and experience the transformative power of Your love.

Holy Spirit, we ask that You pour out Your wisdom upon those who are seeking to overcome addiction. Guide them in making choices that align with Your will and empower them to resist the allure of temptation. In 1 John 4:4, we are reminded that "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." Strengthen their hearts and minds, enabling them to walk away from the chains of addiction and into the freedom found in You.

Father, we lift up not only those battling addiction but also their families who suffer alongside them. Comfort their hearts, providing them with the strength and patience they need to support their loved ones on this difficult journey. Fill their homes with Your presence, replacing chaos with peace and despair with hope. May they find solace in Your love and unity in their shared faith.

We put our full trust in You, Lord, knowing that You are the source of all healing and restoration. We believe in Your power to break every chain and set the captives free. Help us to be a community that supports and encourages those fighting addiction, showing them the love of Christ through our actions and words.

We thank You, God, for the promises You have given us. Thank You for Your unwavering love and for walking with us every step of the way. We pray all this in the name of Jesus, who conquered sin and death, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, we pray. Amen.
