Addiction Recovery

Dear God, help me turn my spirit towards You so that I can find the strength to overcome my problems. Forgive my doubts and fears, and fill me with Your love and strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Slideshow of more prayers to come.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

O blessed Lord, You ministered to all who came to You. Look  with compassion upon all who through addiction have lost  their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of  Your unfailing mercy; remove from them the fears that beset  them; strengthen them in the work of their recovery; and to  those who care for them, give patient understanding and  persevering love. Amen.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
