Prayer for a family member struggling with addiction

Scripture Focus

"We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

— Romans 5:3-5

Find comfort and strength in a powerful and deeply personal prayer for a family member struggling with addiction.

A Short Prayer

"Dear God, please surround our loved one with love and support. Help them find the strength to overcome their struggles. Guide us as we support them through this difficult journey."

A Deeper Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you humbled and desperate in prayer for our beloved family member who is struggling with addiction. We know that you are the one who can bring healing and restoration to their heart and life. We pray that you would surround them with your loving presence, and fill them with your peace that passes all understanding. Help them to find the strength to break free from the chains of addiction and to turn away from the things that are holding them captive. Guide us as we support them through this difficult journey, and give us the wisdom to know how to love them well. May your word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path, and may they find comfort and solace in the knowledge that they are not alone. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
