Addiction:

Free Resources For Hope And Encouragement

On this page, you will find support, inspiration and encouragement — real stories of people who’ve faced addiction, practical ways to take the next step, and gentle encouragement for the days that feel too hard.
When addiction starts taking over your life or the life of someone you love it can feel isolating, shameful, and frightening – but you’re not alone.
Escaping or breaking an addictive cycle is often one of the most difficult journeys a person can take — but even in the battle to recognise and overcome addiction, there is extraordinary hope.
In all things God promises that He will be our strength, our comfort, and that He always be with us. With God, with support, and with others to walk alongside us, no struggle is too great, too powerful or too difficult to overcome.
If you, or someone you know, is battling to overcome addiction or to break the cycle of an addictive behaviour, our team can help by taking the situation to God through prayer.

Addiction: Prayer

A Prayer To Help You Ask For God’s Help And Strength

When we ask God to be at work in our lives, he both listens and acts – and no challenge is too big, too powerful or too overwhelming.

If you don’t feel like you can pray right now, you can ask our team to pray for you:

Would You Like Us To Pray For You?

If you would like prayer support, but don’t feel like you can pray right now, you can send us a Prayer Request and our team will pray for you! 

Prayer

If you are unsure how to start talking with God today, you can begin using these words:

Dear God,

Right now, I’m struggling with something that feels stronger than me. I want things to change, but I don’t know how to do this alone.

Please give me strength for the next small step. Help me be honest, accept support and keep going when it feels difficult. Remind me that I am not beyond help, not without hope and not alone.

Stay close to me today.

Amen.
