Prayer for Strength to Stop Gambling

by Laura ()

Lord

I humbly ask you to forgive me my sins. You have blessed me time and again and I have squandered Your blessing. Please Lord, lead me back to You and Your love. Help release me from the devil that has gotten control of me. I am now in debt over my head and need your assistance to pay my bills. You have blessed me with a wonderful man and a future I never dreamed I could have. I fear I will loose him and the future you lay before me if I can not get control of my gambling. I beg you lord to take me back into Your fold, to help me see Your plan and to see to fruition to the dreams You have for me. Please Lord, help me to pay my loans and credit cards off quickly. I can live with the means you have provided me through my job, if I could releve myself of these debts before June and the start of my new life with R. Please Lord forgive me for leaving You from shame and fear. Please Lord, hear my prayer from a repentant heart and soul. I will only succeed through You. In the Lords name I pray, Amen

  1. prayer from lust and gamling

    I’ve been fighting a battle with gambleing and lust its so hard i thought i could stop on my own no luck I’m on my last straw i need a strong prayer i need jesus in my life i’m so ashamed my thing is i don’t think god will forgive me i’ve been doing the samething over and over i need help from a higher power i can’t do it on my own please pray for me and i will pray also

  2. I can't stop

    I need help and support. I have been casually gambling for 5 yrs but over this time I’ve dwindled my life savings and am now living wage to wage. (Much of which goes back in2 gambling) I can’t stop. I’m hiding it from my partner. I keep telling him I need to save and I’ve no money etc but the truth is if it wasn’t for the gambling I would have been able to save a nice little by now. I just can’t stop. Every time I get paid,i take out enough money for food and then gamble whatever is left in mu account. I just can’t seem to keep money idle in my account. If I have €60 left in my account after everything is paid for and that €60 wil go on gambling. I hate myself for what I’m doing. I’ve started ‘from scratch’ so many times and I mite last 2 wks then I’ll relapse and gamble whats in my account and hence start anew again….only to relapse again. My fiance knows I gamble but he doesn’t know I’ve continued to gamble and it’s becoming problematic. I want to tell him but I feel so guilty and ashamed. I feel like I’m letting him down but I’m confident he’d stand by me and support me. I want my life back. I’m sick was of telling my friends I’ve no money to do things when the truth is I’ve no money to do things cause I’ve gambled it away. I need to come clean. I’m sick of the deception aswel. I duno what to do. Please God help me through this.

  3. We want to change our lives

    Me and my husband we are been gambling for 3 yrs. we want to stop but we cant to do it. Everytime we lost we always said we are not gonna gamble again. But im sick of it we gamble again every time we got our pay check. Im always prayed and asked for help to stop this evil things. We dont have any savings. We lied to our family. We have lots of debts. We even file for bankcrupty already. But nothing change, i need a strong powerful prayer. We need to change our ways and please God lead us through with you. We really need you. I dont wanna loose my husband and my family. I wanna help them with their needs which we can help them. Amen. Help us o Lord. We want to stop gambling!

  5. Gambling

    Since I was 17 years of age and I am now 51 I have been gambling on poker machines. They have changed my life and the way in which I live for all these years. God has blessed me with lots of ways in which I have been saved many times. The only way to stop gambling is just to stop. Don’t go there for anything, don’t have money on you. Don’t trust yourself with your key cards and don’t borrow money for any reason. I did this and it has only made matters worse. I cannot go into a club or put with poker machines it just makes me want to gamble more. So I am looking at other ways in which I cannot go and the only way is to pray and keep praying and stay away from Clubs, Pubs and any place that has a poker machine. I want to be free from debt. So this is what I have to do. Amen.

  6. We can do it!

    I stopped gambling for a year or more in 2015. I had hit rock bottom and had enough. I always look at gambling like I want to flip the money I already have and make it more so I whine of gambling everything I have. I’ve been to GA and learned the principles and still believe in them however I believe one must have self disiplined to stop gambling. With God on our side, a daily prayer, and the determination to quit, we can do it! I’m ready! Let’s do it!

  7. Prayer for wrongfully using finances and praying that God will help me eat and get to work

  8. I want it gone from my life

    Don’t know how I got myself in this situation, in the beginning maybe the thought of a win lured me in, thinking maybe I could pay some of the debts… now I wish my debts were still that low! Now ten times worse! I’m so sick spending time wasting money… I don’t know myself when I’m doing it, I want this out of my life. It’s such a waste of life, the time spent on it and the time spent in my head going over finances in my head and how I’m going to pay back all these loans etc. God please forgive me, I’m so ashamed. I’m finished with it, please stay by my side and help me stay on your path. Jesus be with me, forgive me my sins. Amen

  11. I feel so ashamed

    Please LORD .. I come to you because I am tired…tired of feeling stressed, of lying to my husband and kids. I am so in debt.. asking family for money. Them thinking is for a good cause when it all went into gambling….having my credit cards doubled when my husband thinks i paid them off…he works hard to provide for our family and all i do is gamble and spend our savings. I spend all night in the casino…neglecting my home and children. Instead of spending quality time with them I prefer to go to casino…gamble, smoke n drink… I sleep in late…I look very tired.. I don’t want to spend time with my husband either…I’m always mad and cranky. I want to tell my husband what’s going on n what the problem is but I just cant.. I feel ashamed . My husband thinks I dont love him anymore and that I want to leave. But it’s just that I cant think clear. I have prayed, screamed, and cried out to you GOD to help me…to take the gambling out of my mind. I live 2 miles away from casino so that makes it even worst. All the employees in the casino know me already and its embarrassing.
    I honestly do want to stop and fill my day n mind with more productive stuff with my children bit I cant seem to do it…its so hard.. please lord …please help me

Patrick

  13. Looking at the whole picture of gambling

    In looking at any sort of gambling. Try your best to look from the beginning to
    the present. Sure there have been wins. But oh the LOSSES. They far far out
    number the winning days. And then there’s the head aches & worry over monies to pay your bills and make ends meet. For exsample many good people
    smoke. But can you name just 1 good thing about it? The same with gambling.
    If I had half my money back from this Sin. I’d sure be in better shap in my life.

    I’m 62 years young. With so much to be thankful for. Gambled since I was in my
    early 20’s. Some what in better control now. But still a lot of work to do.
    My honest advise is not going to any Doctor to talk about your problem. Yes
    they listen well. But they get paid way to much just to mostly listen . God is the
    Doctor to help you with this. But, you need to talk to him each day & as often
    each day if needed. Have a family member or friend hold your monies tem.
    One you can trust. Just until you can get this worked out.

    In ending – come Monday morning, your fell so proud & stand taller.
    I pray for each one of us. And our God knows we all have troubles. But he is
    an awesome Father and knows where worth it.

  15. Today is the NEW DAY

    Yesterday is history. Today’s a new day. I will only look forward-everything else is in the rearview mirror. I can’t do this alone – and only God can help. I know that… And so does everyone that’s reading this post. I love you Lord – thanks for the open arms… over and over again. Here is the pledge – on this day I do solemnly swear I will never place money in a slot machine again. The pledge has been taken… that was easy…And now we move forward…in the arms and heart of the Lord.
