Pray for addiction
Addiction
You do not have to clean yourself up to come. You come, and He cleans. One hour at a time. One verse at a time. One hand on the rope.

If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Questions people ask
Can a Christian really be free from addiction?
Yes. Freedom is real, and it is rarely instant. God uses Scripture, His Spirit, His people, and often counselors and doctors. Keep coming.
What is a prayer to say when the urge hits?
Jesus, I cannot. You can. Help me right now. Then call a real person before you act.
Why do I keep failing after I asked God to take it?
Failing is not the end of the story. Grace meets you in the relapse. Get up, confess, and keep walking. He is not done with you.
The lifeline is the answer
The Lifeline is two hands on a rope. The hand from heaven, and your hand reaching back. Watch the teaching, then bring this hard thing to it.
