Addiction is a terrible thing, not only for the physical damage it does to the afflicted person but also for the emotional and spiritual despair it causes for the loved ones of that person. We feel hopeless. We don't know what to do or say and nothing seems to help anyway. However, what we can do is pray. Prayer gives us hope and comfort; we can feel a sense of doing something that will make a real difference because we know that God is listening, and while He's listening, He's also there for us, encouraging us and guiding us, allowing us to minister to the person with the addiction.
Please follow along with our prayer group where we come together with one voice during the 7:00 hour to pray for the people around us. It's our goal to be steadfast and diligent in our prayer lives. As it says in Matthew 18:20 (NIV) Christ stated: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” I believe that promise to hold true with our online group, also. We know that God hears and answers all prayers. Jesus Himself told us: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Matt 7:7-8) Paul wrote: "Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything.” (Phil. 4:6) "and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:15 NIV)
