A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM ADDICTION
“You have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.” Romans 8:12 NLT
"Heavenly Father, your Word says: The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the
dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Therefore...you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live' (vv. 11-13 NLT). I'm tired of struggling with this habit, and acknowledge that l'm powerless over it. So, I make a commitment now to surrender my will to you. Give me power to not only say no to Satan's temptation, but to say an even stronger yes to you and your plan for my life. You know the void I'm trying to fill. Take away my desire for this habit, and help me to withstand the cravings. Teach me how to walk in triumph day by day instead of thinking I can solve this problem right away. Your Word says if the Son makes me free, I shall be free indeed (See Jn 8:36). Your Word says I can be more than a conqueror through Him who loved me (See Ro 8:37). Your Word says, 'Clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires (Ro 13:14 NLT). Clothed in your presence and power, I will begin to walk in victory over this habit each day."
