Prayers for addiction and freedom

For the fight to break free and stay free.

  1. Feeling trapped in an addiction

    Lord, this addiction has a grip on me that feels stronger than my willpower, and I'm tired of promising myself this time will be different.

  2. Relapsed and feeling hopeless

    Lord, I slipped back into this again, and the shame is telling me I've ruined all the progress I made.

    1 John 1:9 · Psalm 103:12 · Romans 8:1 · Lamentations 3:22-23 · Micah 7:19 · Psalm 51:10 · Isaiah 1:18 · 2 Corinthians 5:17 · Psalm 34:18 · Romans 5:8 · Psalm 30:5 · Hebrews 4:16

  3. Seeking support and accountability

    Lord, I know I can't do this recovery entirely on my own, even though part of me wants to try.

    Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 · Proverbs 27:17 · Galatians 6:2 · James 5:16 · Proverbs 11:14 · Hebrews 10:24-25 · 1 Thessalonians 5:11 · Proverbs 12:15 · Proverbs 17:17 · Romans 12:10 · Philippians 2:3-4 · Galatians 6:1

  4. Celebrating a milestone of freedom

    Lord, thank you for this milestone, for every hard day I didn't give up, and for the freedom that's more real now than I once thought possible.

    Psalm 30:11-12 · 2 Corinthians 5:17 · Psalm 40:1-3 · Philippians 1:6 · Psalm 118:24 · 1 Chronicles 16:34 · Galatians 5:1 · Romans 8:37 · Psalm 126:3 · Isaiah 61:3 · Psalm 103:2-4 · John 8:36
