Dear God, There are so many things I can do…or not do. One of the things I cannot do is rid myself of the addictions that seem to choke the very life away from me. I feel enslaved to my addictions, held hostage by their very strongholds. Please take my hand, protect my eyes, guard my heart, and filter my mouth. Help me to learn how to remain disciplined even though as Paul says, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Only through Your grace and tremendous power can I find the self-control needed to divorce myself from these strongholds. Guide and direct me, please. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
