God, You know the battle I’ve had with alcohol. It’s impacted my life in numerous ways, and I need so badly Your help. I’ve done pretty good but then I slip back. I know this is not the life You had planned for me, but You have a way of turning mud into bricks and then building anew with them. I claim the verse, You have promised that no temptation will overtake me that I cannot bear, and You will always provide a way of escape.1 I ask for the strength to walk in that freedom. Your Word commands not to be drunk with wine but be filled with the Spirit.2 Help me resist addiction and be filled with Your presence. I know that Christ has set me free.3 Renew my mind, Father, and transform my heart, so I may discern Your will and walk in the way that pleases You.4 I trust that in Christ, I am a new creation; the old has passed away. The new has come.5 With You, I can do all things. I lean on You to overcome this addiction.6
Please help me to be sober-minded and alert, knowing the enemy seeks to devour me.7 resist him, standing firm in my faith, believing in Your deliverance. I call upon You in my day of trouble, knowing that You will deliver me, and I will glorify You.8
Fear will not overtake me, for You are with me. Strengthen me and help me to walk in victory.9 I submit myself to You, resist the devil, and trust in Your promise that he will flee from me.10 Sin will no longer have dominion over me because I am under Your grace.11 I declare that who the Son sets free is free indeed.12
I confess my sin, trusting in Your forgiveness to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.13 Hear my cry, Lord, and deliver me from this addiction. You are near to the brokenhearted. I trust in Your saving grace.14 Empower me with Your Spirit of love and self-control.15 In Jesus’ name, Amen.
