Prayers: Deliver Me From Addiction, Oh Lord
Prayer for Healing and Restoration
Lord Jesus, my Healer and Restorer, I pray for Your healing touch upon my life. Addiction has left scars, both seen and unseen, and I yearn for the wholeness that only You can provide. Heal my body from the damages of addiction, restore my mind from its effects, and renew my spirit with Your life-giving presence.

I also pray for Your divine guidance in each step of my addiction recovery. Show me the path You would have me walk, and light my way with Your truth.
