October 3, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

Gracious Savior, today we pray for those we know who wrestle with all types of addiction in their lives. We have witnessed our friends and family members in bondage in ways that we sometimes struggle to understand ourselves. What we have witnessed, we wouldn't wish on anyone. What we have seen breaks our hearts as we are sure it must break yours.

Pour out your Holy Spirit into the brokenness of the lives of the addicts that we name before you in our hearts. Draw them to a place of wholeness in you. Eradicate any thought in their mind or desire in their heart that would cause them to act out in their addiction again. Free them from the bondage of addiction with the power that only you have. Fill the holes in their hearts and spirit that only you can fill. Heal them in your grace and permit them to know real joy once again. It is in the holy and precious name of Christ we pray. Amen.
