Addiction, finances and a home

Valeyroerroth · Saturday at 10:07 PM

I need deliverance from addiction to fentanyl. As well, some where to live and help with finances. I lost my husband of 41 years last July and immediately following, lost my home, everything I owned and then my car's engine blew up. I presently live with a very unkind person, but it's either this or the streets. I'm going to try to move to Staten Island, with a sister, who's has a very long past of being some crazy and just a lot of drama. Im very nervous, but I don't know what else I can do. I'm desperate at this point and I can barely get through a day sometimes. So depressed. . My addiction gives me such overwhelming shame and I feel awful that I am not able to stop on my own. I have constant fear inside me and I try to read the Bible every day but find I fall asleep a lot when I open it. I have begged and pleaded for God to deliver me from this horrible addiction and as well find me a home. I might have asked you to pray for this before but I'm still in the same situation. I hate myself for doing these drugs I hate myself for it. I'm so ashamed. I'm in survival mode and that's the way I've been for a really long time. I really can't remember happy moment. I completely isolated myself because of my life and I have nothing or no one and I'm just isolated cuz I don't even know what I would say to anyone, given how my life is right now. I don't even recognize it. Please pray that I'm delivered from this addiction that God gives me a place that I can call home and that he would help me with my finances so I can live comfortably. I get disability due to back surgeries. Degenerative disc disease. It's gotten bad, with right leg giving me a lot of pain and swelling. It's so difficult to get around and I've gained so much weight. Can't move a lot. It makes it worse, the weight gain. So hard to walk far or do anything. I get $800/monthly to live ,which isn't possible to live on. It's unrealistic. I feel so overwhelmed with everything. I get paralyzed with fear. So there's many things in this prayer request and I apologize if it's overwhelming for you. Believe me, I live it everyday and I'm overwhelmed all the time. In a nutshell deliverance from addiction, finances and a home and what God needs me to do for him what he would like me to accomplish to further his kingdom. I'm eager and want to be a better daughter to him, a better person and I can't wait to get rid of the shame I carry with me. I feel very alone, just empty. I thank you so much in advance, for your prayers and God bless you all.

We are truly heartbroken to hear about your struggles with addiction, the loss of your husband, and the challenges you're facing with finances and housing. Firstly, we want to remind you that there is no shame in Christ, for He took our shame upon Himself on the cross. Your struggle is not invisible to God, and He cares deeply for you.

Let's address the issues one by one and pray together.

Firstly, we want to acknowledge your courage in reaching out and your desire to overcome your addiction. Fentanyl addiction is a powerful stronghold, but we serve a God who can break every chain. Remember, God will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5 WEB).

We must address that turning to substances for comfort is not God's will for our lives. The Bible tells us to be sober and self-controlled (1 Peter 5:8 WEB). We encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from fellow believers to help you break free from this addiction. God wants you to have life abundantly (John 10:10 WEB), and He can help you overcome this struggle.

Secondly, regarding your living situation, we understand your concerns about living with your sister. The Bible tells us that if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever (2 Thessalonians 3:10, 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB). However, it is also important to live in a peaceful environment. Trust in the Lord and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security (Psalm 37:3 WEB). We pray that God will provide you with a peaceful home where you can rest and recover.

Thirdly, concerning your finances, remember that God is our provider. He cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, and He will certainly care for you (Matthew 6:25-34 WEB). Seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33 WEB).

Lastly, we want to gently remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can come to the Father (John 14:6 WEB). There is salvation in no one else (Acts 4:12 WEB). We mention this because you did not mention Jesus Christ in your request. We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ if you have not already done so, for He is the only way to salvation and eternal life.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister who is struggling with addiction, financial hardship, and homelessness. Lord, we ask that You break the chains of addiction in her life and set her free from the bondage of fentanyl. Give her the strength and courage to overcome this struggle, and provide her with godly support and counsel.

Father, we ask that You provide her with a peaceful home where she can rest and recover. We pray for her sister, that You would soften her heart and bring peace to their relationship. We ask that You would open doors for a better living situation and provide for all her needs according to Your riches in glory.

Lord, we pray for her finances, that You would provide for all her needs and help her to manage her disability payments wisely. We ask that You would heal her body and give her the strength to move and walk without pain.

Father, we pray that she would come to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior if she has not already done so. We ask that You would draw her close to You and give her a hunger and thirst for Your Word. Help her to overcome her feelings of shame and emptiness, and fill her with Your love, joy, and peace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, for God hears your prayers and He will answer you according to His will. Trust in Him, and He will never fail you. We are here for you, and we will continue to pray for you.

Dear friend,

We're here with you, standing in the gap, lifting you up to our Father in heaven. We've been praying for you, and we want to encourage you with these words:

"Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

We know it's been a heavy load you've been carrying, but remember, God is big enough to bear it all. He sees your struggles, your pain, your fears, and He's right there with you, every step of the way.

We're going to keep praying for your deliverance from addiction. We believe that God can break every chain, and we claim that promise over your life today. We also ask that He would provide for your needs, both financially and in finding a place to call home. We trust that He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

But more than anything, we want to remind you that you are loved. You are not alone. You are a daughter of the King, and He sees you, He knows you, and He loves you just as you are.

Keep fighting, dear one. Keep trusting. Keep hoping. And know that we're here, cheering you on, praying for you, and believing in you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
