Prayer about Addiction recovery
Introduction
As I walk through the journey of addiction recovery, I’m learning more and more the power of prayer. It is more than just an act of faith, it is a discipline that strengthens the mind, heart, and spirit.

I’m sharing this personal prayer with you, hoping that it will inspire and encourage you in your own journey.
Prayer
Dear Lord,
I thank You for the gift of life and the opportunity to see another day. I come to You with a heart full of gratitude and a soul longing for Your touch. I am deep in the battle of addiction and I need Your healing, guidance, and strength.
Help me, O Lord, to break these chains that bind me. I acknowledge that I cannot do it on my own and I surrender my struggles to You. Use this difficulty to bring me closer to You. May my trials transform me and not define me.
Lord, as I embark on this journey of recovery, be my guide. Help me stay focused and committed to my goal. When I am tempted, remind me of the freedom and joy that awaits beyond this addiction. When I stumble, give me the courage to rise and start again.
I pray for patience and understanding from my family and friends. Surround me with people who inspire recovery, offer support, and display unconditional love. Protect me from negativity and judgment. Instead, fill my life with Your peace and love.
Father, I trust in Your promise of restoration. I believe that You can turn my mess into a message, my test into a testimony. Through my recovery, may I be a beacon of hope and inspiration to others.
I make this prayer in faith, believing in Your infinite love and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
