DAY 38: Saturday, November 7

TOPIC: Addicts and their Families

SCRIPTURE: “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.” -Psalm 107:13-14

OBSERVATION: Addiction is no respecter of persons. Anyone can become an addict to damaging behaviors. It feels like being in chains and darkness with no hope of escape. It also damages everyone around the person who is an addict; family, friends, co-workers, other drivers… We pray today for the active addict, recovering addicts and all those affected by addiction.

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.
