If you’re struggling to overcome an addiction in your life, it can feel like there are many obstacles that are almost impossible to overcome. It can be a difficult and frustrating journey, but there is hope. Asking God for strength and help can be one of the most powerful and beneficial things you can do on your path to recovery.
When faced with an addiction, it is easy to feel out of control. Your power to resist is in the hands of your addiction and it can leave you feeling helpless and frustrated. But with God’s help you can find hope and strength and be able to start fighting back against your addiction.
The first step is to make a conscious decision to turn your life around and commit to making a change. Through this decision, you are able to start the journey of breaking free from the grips of your addiction. Once you’ve made the decision, it’s important to put it out to God and to ask Him for strength, knowledge, courage, and guidance as you go through your recovery.
God understands that the path can be difficult and can be a source of strength and hope as you go through it. By turning to Him for help, you can start to build up the necessary inner strength to fight back against the addiction. As you start to do this, you may find that you start to feel hope and a sense of peace that can help you along your journey.
In order to ask God for strength, it’s important to build a strong relationship with Him. This can be done through regular prayer and meditation. During this time, it is important to be honest with yourself and to talk to God about your struggles and your fears.
Be sure to also ask God for the strength you need to stick to your goals and to stay the course. Pray for His protection, for guidance when it seems like you have no direction, and for wisdom and discernment when you need it most.
Forgiveness is also important in the recovery process. One of the most important things to acknowledge is that your addiction has hurt yourself and those around you. Ask for forgiveness from God and from those that you have wronged in the process, as it can be one of the greatest gifts you can receive during your journey to recovery.
When you are struggling with addiction, God is here to help. Know that you can always turn to Him for the strength and courage to overcome your addiction. Ask God for strength, guidance, forgiveness, and understanding, and remember that He is with you every step of the way.
