Prayer for Alcoholics
Heavenly Father, I feel deeply saddened knowing what people go through who are alcoholics. It is a very challenging situation to be in, because it involves so many negative emotions. There are countless instances where good relationships can become destroyed by alcoholism. A marriage can end very badly because of this addiction. Children of parents who are alcoholics do not grow up to have the proper upbringing that they deserve. Their vision is blinded and their minds get clouded which can lead to both mental and physical abuse. Father, I put my whole faith in you in finding a solution to this dilemma. I pray that you’ll help these troubled souls overcome this cruel addiction. I believe that through you it is not too late for them to change for the better. There is always hope within you . As a faithful believer, I trust that you’ll be able to help alcoholics win their battle against this addiction.
Amen.

Prayer for a Heroin Addict
Merciful God, you have given me this life. I am very grateful for your generosity. Today, I come to you asking for forgiveness. I have a problem. Even though I am ashamed to admit it, I know that the first step to recovery is acceptance. I have been dependent on it for awhile now. Heroin makes me feel good but at the expense of everyone who has ever cared for me. I have finally realized that what I’m doing is wrong. I also shouldn’t be abusing my body, because it is a special gift you have generously bestowed upon me. Please give me the fortitude and willpower I need to defeat this addiction. It has greatly affected my relationships with the people I love the most. I know you will not let me face this alone. I do not want to disappoint your or my family ever again. Today, I am making a promise to you that I will never again fall to the shadows. I have decided to quit this vile addiction. I will take it one day at a time and find the strength I need in you. I trust that you’ll continue to work your mighty wonders in my life.
Amen.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]Addiction is a terribly challenging thing to deal with. It is one weakness that quite a few of us have. Please keep in mind that when I say, “addiction” I’m not just talking about drugs. Addiction can take many different forms. Someone who gets home from work and watches TV until they go to bed everyday could definitely be considered to be addicted to television. It can take many forms.
Hopefully with these prayers you or your loved ones can make some progress. I encourage all who have a problem with addiction to pray and seek professional help. Remember that your friends and family are the most important parts of your life. Do not lose them over something that really doesn’t matter. Here are a few resources that may help you or someone you know who is having a problem with addiction:
Alcoholics Anonymous – This is probably one of the largest organizations dedicated to those who suffer from alcoholism.
National Institute on Drug Abuse – A great site that offers plenty of resources regarding drug abuse and addiction.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none” last=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all”][fusion_content_boxes settings_lvl=”child” layout=”icon-with-title” columns=”2″ icon_align=”left” title_size=”” title_color=”” body_color=”” backgroundcolor=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_radius=”” iconcolor=”” circlecolor=”” circlebordercolor=”” circlebordersize=”” outercirclebordercolor=”” outercirclebordersize=”” icon_size=”” icon_hover_type=”” hover_accent_color=”” link_type=”” link_area=”” link_target=”” animation_delay=”” animation_offset=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.1″ margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_content_box title=”” icon=”” backgroundcolor=”” iconcolor=”” circlecolor=”” circlebordercolor=”” circlebordersize=”” outercirclebordercolor=”” outercirclebordersize=”” iconrotate=”” iconspin=”no” image=”” image_width=”35″ image_height=”35″ link=”” linktext=”” link_target=”_self” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=””]
