Gambling is a form of covetousness and a love for money 1 Timothy 6:10 WEB, For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

We must flee from this and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience. 1 Timothy 6:11 WEB But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

We know the only way to overcome is through Jesus and we know it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Please give them the strength to flee from this temptation.
and help them to grow in righteousness, godliness, faith, love, and patience. Help them to trust in you alone for their financial needs. We believe which says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
