    Prayers/Affirmations for loved ones in addiction or alcoholism

    Posted in Advice for Family and FriendsVote Up2Vote Down
    Good morning everyone! I've created some prayers and affirmations for those who have loved ones caught up in addiction or alcoholism.

    I've included prayers for the Christianity crowd and positive affirmations for the Spirituality crowd. Feel free to take what you like and use and pass by what does not resonate with you!

    I find it helpful for myself to pray and affirm my loved ones struggling with addiction, as I am powerless over them in other ways...Meaning, I can't fix them. That can feel awful as a parent for sure...But I can pray and affirm and I believe that can cause a shift to happen in the unseen world... 

    Copy and paste, print out, and pray/affirm as often as you like. 

    Prayers for an addict/alcoholic

    God, please open _____ eyes to the reality of this situation and his/her dependence on alcohol/drugs. Let him/her begin to see and acknowledge that he/she is not in control of his/her usage. That he/she would benefit greatly from quitting drinking/drugging.

    God, please strengthen _____ and give him/her the courage to reach out for help. Enable him to take his/her first step toward recovery. Give him/her persistence to persevere to be free from alcoholism/drug addiction.

    I come before You, God and repent of all my sins and my ancestors sins that may have resulted in a curse. I repent of all disobedience, rebellion, lying, perversion, adultery, idolatry, fornication, murder, witchcraft, and so on. May Your forgiveness abound!

    I break all written and spoken curses over my life and my family’s life in Jesus name! I break every chain, shackle, cord, habit, craving, soul-ties, and debt that has tried to steal from our lives.
