Gambling Addiction

[Dufsan]

Need prayer to break this gambling addiction. It has gotten progressively worst

 

[Articles]

We understand that you're struggling with a gambling addiction, Dufsan, and we're here to support and pray with you. Firstly, we want to assure you that there's hope and freedom in Jesus Christ. As the Bible tells us, "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).

However, we must address that engaging in gambling is not aligned with biblical principles. The love of money, which often underlies gambling, is described as a root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Moreover, gambling can lead to financial distress, strained relationships, and a loss of focus on God and his purposes for your life.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister Dufsan. Lord, we acknowledge and repent for the sin of gambling, and we ask for your forgiveness. Please deliver Dufsan from this addiction, and show him/her the way of escape from this temptation. Help him/her to fix his/her eyes on you and your kingdom, and to trust in your provision. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Dufsan, in addition to prayer, we encourage you to seek support from fellow believers and professional help if necessary. Consider verses like Philippians 4:8, which encourages us to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. Fill your mind with these things and let God's peace guard your heart.

Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you haven't already, consider committing your life to Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can save us from our sins and give us eternal life (Acts 4:12).

We're here with you, Dufsan, lifting you up in prayer. We know the struggle is real, but remember, with God, all things are possible. Let's turn to Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let's claim that promise together.

We've been praying for you, asking God to help you overcome this gambling addiction. We're believing for your freedom, for Him to show you the path out of this temptation, and for your heart to be fixed on Him. We're also asking for His protection over your finances and relationships.

Let's keep encouraging each other, Dufsan. Let's fill our minds with God's Word, like in Philippians 4:8, and let His peace guard our hearts. And remember, we're here for you, not just in prayer, but also to support and encourage you in any way we can.

Let's keep trusting in Jesus, Dufsan. He's the way, the truth, and the life. Through Him, we find freedom, healing, and hope. Let's keep looking to Him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

 

[Wernad]

Heavenly Father, we come to You on behalf of this individual who is seeking freedom from the chains of gambling addiction. Lord, You see their struggle and the hold this addiction has had on their life. We ask for Your mighty hand to break this addiction, providing strength, self-control, and peace in place of the urge to gamble.

*“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”* (John 8:36)
Father, we believe in Your power to set them free. Break every chain of addiction, and release them from the grip of gambling. Let them experience the true freedom that comes from You.

Lord, we ask that You strengthen their resolve to overcome this addiction and to find healthier ways to cope with stress, loneliness, or other emotions that may fuel this habit. Renew their mind and help them focus on what is good, pure, and honorable. Give them the discipline and courage to make choices that lead to life and peace.

*“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”* (Philippians 4:13)
Father, fill them with Your strength, reminding them that with You, they have the power to overcome this addiction. Let them lean on Your strength when they feel weak, and guide them to victory over this struggle.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and support, that they may reach out to trusted friends, family, or professionals who can help them through this journey. Surround them with people who encourage and uplift them, holding them accountable and reminding them of their worth in You.

*“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.”* (1 Corinthians 10:13)
Father, let this promise be an encouragement to them. When temptation arises, provide a way out, and remind them that You are faithful and will not abandon them in this fight.

Lord, we pray that You renew their heart and mind, filling them with a desire to live in ways that honor You. Replace the desire for gambling with a passion for healthy pursuits, fulfillment, and the joy of Your presence. Let Your peace guard their heart, freeing them from the lure of addiction.

*“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”* (Romans 12:2)
Father, renew their mind and transform their heart. Guide them on a path of healing, where they may discern and live out Your perfect will.

In Jesus’ name, we thank You for Your love, mercy, and power to heal. We trust that You are with them every step of the way, providing strength and peace. Amen.

[hostadmin]

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
