DAY 39: Saturday, November 8
TOPIC: Addicts and their Families
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 107:13-14 “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.”
OBSERVATION: Addiction is no respecter of persons. Anyone can become an addict to damaging behaviors. It is not the fault of others, family, friends, jobs… yet it affects all of those people and things. It feels like being in chains and darkness with no hope of escape. That feeling is shared by everyone in the family. All are held hostage to the substance the addict is using. We pray today for the active addict, recovering addicts and all those affected by addiction. There is hope. There is freedom. There is healing. There is new life for everyone, those using & those affected by the using.
PRAYER: Father, hear our cry to you. There are many in our community chained by addiction. They do and say things they would never do sober. Please help them to turn toward you. Hold those who have loved ones who are practicing addicts. Give them freedom too. Restore all to your blessed peace and freedom. Grant them life. We pray in Jesus, who burst the bonds of death and brings new life on any wanting it.
