Praying in agreement with my brothers and sisters for you. I also pray that the Lord would take considerable notice of your plea to relive the desperation and that His hands would hold you together. I pray that He would reveal Himself to You and that your heart will be prepared for faith in Christ.
You can not stand upon yourself. None of us were able to overcome the addictions and hardships we have faced without God's Word.
I encourage you to Read the Gospel of John and to read the Psalms. Remember that your enemies are not people. That if you know God is real, then that means Satan is real too. Remember this when reading the Psalms, talking about your enemies.
You will not be able to overcome Satan continually relying upon your own will power without the Lord's Help and Word. Which is why you are asking for His help. You also will not be able to uphold the standard of perfection that God is calling you too, without someone to take your place, making the mark for you.
We never know when our soul will be required of us. If you do not stand on the Lord Jesus Christ as your righteousness, the fire will consume you. Today is the day of Salvation.
Pray this prayer:
God, I believe in You. I know that I am being drawn closer to You. If Jesus is real, I want to believe. But, Lord, help my unbelief... that is, help me to believe. I am taking a step of faith here today. Let me feel Your love and acceptance in my heart. Let me know that Jesus Christ is what I am looking for.
In a step of trust, I make Him my Lord and Savior today. I ask that my sin would be forgiven by His blood, that I would be washed, white as snow. That You would give me divine strength unto the battles that I face. That, in Christ, I will overcome impossible obstacles and enemies.
Today, I dismiss my own pride and trying to justify myself before You, in anyway. I claim Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my right standing with You. Seal me with Your Holy Spirit and perfect Love in my heart. Thank You for hearing me.
For it is written, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness and by His stripes (the lashes he endured) I am healed. That You will uphold me by the right hand of Your righteousness and that nothing can separate me from Your Love.
By Your grace and mercy, allow me to grow and mature, bearing good fruit, a 100 fold. Let all of my enemies (google Eph 6:12) fall into their own traps.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
When you pray this prayer, respond with a post confessing Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Your Lord and Savior. Your right standing with God.
I also encourage you to write out a short prayer for yourself and for the people in your life so all of us here can stand with you and present it before the Lord.
Much love to you brother,
Steven
