Prayer for Alcohol Addiction
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart that is heavy, burdened by the chains of addiction. Lord, You are my refuge and my strength, my ever-present help in times of trouble. I call upon Your name, for I know that You are the God who delivers, the God who heals, and the God who restores.
Father, I confess that I have struggled with alcohol, and it has taken hold of my life in ways that I never intended. It has caused pain, broken relationships, and distanced me from You and from those I love. I acknowledge that I cannot overcome this battle on my own, and so I surrender it to You. Lord, I need Your strength, for I am weak. I need Your power, for I feel powerless. I need Your grace, for I have fallen short.
Lord Jesus, You came to set the captives free, to break every chain, and to bring healing to the brokenhearted. I ask You now to break the chains of addiction in my life. Remove the cravings, the temptations, and the strongholds that keep me bound. Fill the emptiness in my heart with Your love, peace, and presence so that I no longer seek comfort in alcohol but in You alone.
Holy Spirit, guide me each day. When I feel weak, remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. When I feel tempted, provide a way of escape. When I feel discouraged, renew my mind with Your truth. Fill me with a deep desire to walk in freedom and to live a life that honors You.
Lord, I pray for healing—not just for myself, but for those I have hurt along the way. Restore broken relationships, mend wounded hearts, and bring reconciliation where there has been division. Help me to make amends where I can, to seek forgiveness where needed, and to walk in humility and love.
I pray for wisdom, Lord. Lead me to the right people, the right support, and the right resources that will help me on this journey to recovery. Surround me with those who will encourage me, pray for me, and hold me accountable. Give me the courage to seek help when I need it and the perseverance to keep going even when the road is difficult.
Lord, I thank You that in You, there is always hope. Your Word says that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I claim that freedom today. I believe that You are doing a new thing in my life, that You are making a way where there seems to be no way, and that You are leading me into a future filled with peace, joy, and purpose.
I place my trust in You, Lord, knowing that You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in me. I choose to walk in faith, to lean on You daily, and to declare victory over this addiction in the mighty name of Jesus.
Thank You, Father, for Your love, Your mercy, and Your unfailing grace. I give You all the glory and praise, now and forever.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
