Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend who is struggling with a compulsive gambling addiction. Lord, we acknowledge that addiction is a sickness that can consume and control a person's life. We lift up our friend to you, knowing that you are a God of deliverance and freedom.
In your great wisdom, you have the power to break the chains of addiction and set the captives free. We pray that you would intervene in our friend's life and remove this sickness of addiction from their life. Give them the strength and determination to overcome this struggle and to walk in the freedom that you have promised.
Lord, we ask for your healing touch upon our friend's mind, body, and spirit. Renew their mind and transform their desires, replacing the urge to gamble with a desire for a life of purpose and fulfillment in you. Help them to find healthy outlets for their time and energy, and surround them with a supportive community that will encourage and uplift them.
We claim the promise in your word that says, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" . We believe that you have the power to break every chain and to bring complete restoration to our friend's life. May they experience the joy and peace that comes from surrendering their addiction to you.
We also pray for wisdom and guidance for our friend as they seek help and support in their journey towards recovery. Lead them to the right resources, counselors, and support groups that will provide the tools and encouragement they need to overcome this addiction.
Lord, we trust in your unfailing love and mercy. We know that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think . We thank you in advance for the victory and freedom that our friend will experience as they surrender their addiction to you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
