Father, I admit that I need help.
This addiction has affected my thoughts, choices, health, relationships, finances, or spiritual life.
I cannot overcome it through denial or empty promises.
I bring my weakness into Your light.
Your Word says that sin shall not have dominion over me.
Through Jesus Christ, teach me to say no to destructive desires and yes to what produces life.
When cravings rise, provide a way of escape and help me take it.
Reveal the triggers beneath my behavior — pain, loneliness, trauma, anger, boredom, shame, or fear.
Heal what I have tried to numb.
Give me courage to seek treatment, recovery support, pastoral care, counseling, or medical supervision.
Remove the pride that tells me I must recover alone.
Place trustworthy people around me who will speak truth, maintain healthy boundaries, and help me remain accountable.
Give me grace to be honest about relapses and warning signs.
Restore what addiction has damaged.
Rebuild trust through consistent actions.
Teach me patience with the recovery process.
Let each sober and obedient decision become an act of worship.
I declare that my addiction is not my identity.
My identity is found in Christ.
Continue the work You have begun in me until my life becomes a testimony of Your mercy and transforming power.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Scriptures: Romans 6:12–14; 1 Corinthians 6:12; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Galatians 5:16; Philippians 1:6; James 5:16.
