Catholic Prayer for Addiction

The Prayer

Loving Father, You know the pain, fear, and longing within every heart. Today I lift before You all who suffer from addiction — especially those courageously seeking prayer and healing. Wrap them in Your mercy and remind them that they are not alone, for You never abandon the ones You love. Lord Jesus, You came to set captives free. Break the chains that bind their body, mind, and soul. Restore their strength when they grow weary, renew their faith when they feel lost, and let them know their worth in Your eyes has never faded. Send Your Holy Spirit to guide them toward recovery, peace, and purpose. May the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, St. Monica, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and all the saints who endured suffering bring them courage and hope each day. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
