Addictions

Day 4 of 21 Days of prayer and fasting.  What will you commit to fast today so as to focus on crying out to God for the spiritual broken condition of our nation?  Our nation is in a spiritual crisis and one of effects of this spiritual vaccum  is addictions.  We are praying today specifically for those who are caught up in addictions.  The bondage of addiction is crippling individuals, families, communities and our culture.  There is relational, financial, spiritual and physical costs to adddictions.  Drug, alcohol and pornography addictions are choking out life.  Dependency on any harmful subtance or activity is detrimental and devastating.  If you are caught up in an addiction or you have a family member or friend that is caught up in an addictive lifestyle know that you are being prayed for today.  But there is even better news, in Christ and by the Spirit of God living in you, you can be free!  There is hope! 

John 8:34-36 ESV
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.  The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.  So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
