A Prayer for Freedom from Self Destructive Habits
God of compassion, forgive me for this self-destructive and compulsive behavior. My Savior, who rescues me from shame and fear, remind me that you do not condemn me, and help me not to condemn myself. My Shield, who defends me from temptation, and delivers me from evil, surround me with your grace that is sufficient for my weakness, your love that covers my sin, and your kindness that invites me to find freedom and victory. Amen.
