Please pray for K for healing from addictions to drugs, especially cocaine. Please pray God separates him from drug users and dealers. Pray for me I am discouraged. He has gone back and forth for years now. There is another women in his life who he does drugs with and I can't compete with that. People tell me to use tough love and cut him off until he reaches rock bottom but all that has done is sent him running into the arms of the other woman. Thanks for praying for me and K.

Lord, I'm sorry I keep stuffing up again and again and again. I hate myself for doing this and failing you. I do want to stop but I've done this for sooo long it seems impossible to go without it. I thank you for your everlasting love and forgiveness. Please I need you, please help me to need you more than needing to masturbate. Please I'm begging you to help me, please. I don't want this to hinder me anymore. Help me to see myself as you see me. Amen

please Lord forgive me for slipping up again this weekend. Feel bad for failing again and bingeing so much. You have been so good to me, particularly for sustaining me these last two weeks when i went on inner healing course. I thank you and praise you for healing some wounds and releasing me from evil spirits. Help me to honour you by maintaining my discipline without going to other extreme of striving and restlessness. Set me free from the yoke of perfectionism, and fill my emptiness with your fullness.

Dear Lord. Thankyou Lord that you are a great God and that even though we are not worthy to be loved, you LOVE us so very much, and that we can come to you and talk to You about our struggles and addictions. I have just been reading through these prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ and I pray for them so much Lord, for breakthrough with their addictions. Through reading the ones, especially with regard to masturbation, and looking at internet sites, Lord...I can identify with this so much. Jesus I know that through you dying on the cross EVERY single sin has been forgiven.The price has been paid. Help me to remember this as I walk with you. That I am forgiven. Help us to walk in the light and not let guilt and shame take a grip. Lord I know I struggle - a lot especially recently and I really want to be free from this addiction, so much. Its dirty and horrible and I wish that I didnt give into this tempation every time I am tempted. But Lord, I have done. Lord I just, I want to feel your wonderful forgiveness that I so don't deserve at all...and to be able to just walk in the freedom you give and live for you. Sometimes i think that I sin so much, how can i ask for forgiveness.. i say sorry, want to stop and then time and time and time again - I so easily give in.... Lord it is a struggle I have had for many many years and I just pray that with your help you would help me to change - for I do really want to! Lord i know that it is only through Your strength that I can do this - i cannot do this on my own.. Help me to give it to you. Here is a verse that I felt I should write: "But remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience and God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it." 1 Corinthians 10: 12+13 Lord this is what you have promised, so help us to believe in your promise that you will show us a way out when we are tempted. So Lord I just pray for me, and my brothers and sisters who struggle with this addiction. Again thankyou Lord that we can come to you in prayer...and ask you to help and heal us and that you are always there and will never leave us. Thankyou Lord Amen
