I pray that I may find serenity and strength to overcome an addiction that I have had for many years to doing harm to myself. I cannot do this alone--only by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ who has given and sacrificed all that I require for this life and the eternal. Help me to love myself that I may better love and serve others. Amen.

God loves you Monica! He wants to give you a true joy that NO ONE or NOTHING can take away from you. James says "consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds. because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." Jeremiah 29:11-13 says For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. God loves you and is always with you. My prayers are with you.
Monica, may you know the deep and lavish love of God for you, his precious daughter. You are beautiful and made in God's image. Bless you, Monica.
May you feel God's presence--this same God who created you, knit you in the womb and knew you before birth (Psalm 139)--sitting with you through any addiction. "Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed." -Khalil Gibran

I pray that you will be aware of Gods presence in your life and that will sustain you in the hard times. I pray that you will find a new joy in your life and that you will not be weighed down with anything that prevents you from living life. I pray that you feel in control and can live without fear. Lord, I pray that You will bring a sense of calm and a feeling of security to Monica and wrap Your loving arms around her during the hard times in life. I ask all of this in Jesus name. Amen.
