Good morning.
The number of prayer requests I’ve received this week concerning addiction and hurting families has really been heavy on my heart.
Hurting people hurt people. Addiction can blind someone to everything happening around them—the people they love, the damage being done, and the collateral damage left behind. Their focus becomes simply trying to quiet the anxiety, anger, frustration, or pain for a few hours. But when the temporary relief wears off, the cycle usually gets worse.
The good news is there is help.
But whether it’s a guy or a girl, eventually that person has to make the decision to accept it. The struggle is very real. I know because I’ve been there.
I’m not a counselor, preacher, or qualified therapist. I just know this: breaking the cycle of addiction takes action, honesty, and help. You don’t have to do it alone, but you do have to be willing to take that first step.
This morning I’m praying for the person battling addiction, and I’m praying just as hard for the families riding the emotional rollercoaster alongside them.
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
— Galatians 6:2
Prayers for all of you this morning.
And please continue to pray for my continued sobriety as well. I’m grateful for every day God gives me.
P.S. the DUI mugshot is just my testimony and proof that I shared this post with my own experiences.
