For Those Battling Drug Addiction
Powerful Lord,
The ongoing battle many have with drug addictions can end up a matter of life and death. Both street drugs and prescription drugs, depending on how they are abused, are capable of killing. Any lives lost at the hand of drugs are too many.
Intervene, Lord, on behalf of those ensnared in addiction, whether voluntarily or not, and provide them with what is needed to overcome. Cut off their access to the drugs that continue to fuel their addiction. Place determined individuals in their lives who refuse to give up on trying to help them beat their addiction. Grant them someone or something to treasure so greatly that the damage and harm resulting from their drug abuse is no longer worth it. Open doors of opportunity for them to receive help coping with whatever issues drove them to drugs in the first place.
Show them that in you they have purpose, meaning, and worth, and are valued more than they could ever imagine. Overcome their addiction by revealing to them your dedication and affection for them.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
