We stand with you, Myninn, in your battle against gambling addiction, and we commend you for taking the first step toward freedom. Be assured that God is ready to help you, for He says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28, WEB).
Firstly, we want to encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we find salvation and strength, for "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB). Trust in Him, and He will equip you with the power to overcome this addiction.
We must also remind you that gambling is a form of covetousness and love for money, which is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB). Therefore, it is crucial to repent and turn away from this sin. God promises that "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9, WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister Myninn. Lord, they have struggled with gambling addiction for many years, but today they stand before You, seeking Your guidance and strength. We ask You to fill them with Your Holy Spirit, granting them the power to resist temptation and break free from this bondage. Help them to stay focused on their family and the priorities You have set for their life. We claim Your promise that "no temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Myninn, remain steadfast in your faith, and do not be discouraged. Surround yourself with a supportive community of believers who can help keep you accountable. Remember, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you" (James 4:7-8a, WEB). Stay strong, and trust in the Lord.
