Oh Lord, I come to You to pray for all who are weighed down
with some form of addiction. Lord, You are the One who came
to set the captives free and to release the sinners from the chains that bind them so I lift before Your throne of grace all those who
carry the cross of addiction.
Lord, I know some personally and others I know nothing about but You know
everyone who is enchained by addiction. Look with compassion on all who are
ensnared by any form of addiction and send help and freedom to each of them so
that they may be released from this imprisonment and returned to a life that has
dignity and meaning.
Give wisdom and compassion to their family members and those that care
for them that they may be given the support and help to put them back on the
road to recovery. Endow them with patience, understanding, and perseverance,
knowing that this can take time to address.
Lord, bless all those who struggle with addictions. Touch them, heal
them, reassure them of Your constant love. Remain at their side to chase away
all evil temptations, fears and doubts. May the quiet assurance of your loving
presence illuminate the darkness in their hearts an bring lasting
peace.
