Alternatively, try “Chain Breaker” by Zach Williams, a modern anthem proclaiming God’s ability to break every chain. Feel free to choose any song that lifts your spirit and helps you focus on God’s strength to set you free.

Reflect on areas where addiction has held you captive, drawing you away from God’s freedom. Confess any reliance on substances, habits, or behaviors over God’s strength, seeking His forgiveness and healing.
Gracious God, I come before You with a humbled heart, confessing my bondage to addiction. I’ve turned to fleeting comforts instead of Your eternal strength, allowing these chains to rule my life. Forgive me for seeking escape in habits that dishonor You, for ignoring Your power to set me free. I confess the times I’ve hidden my struggles, choosing shame over Your grace. Cleanse me, Lord, and break the grip of these addictions. Renew my spirit with Your truth, and fill me with the courage to walk in freedom. Help me trust in Your promise of healing, leaning on Your mercy that never fails. I seek Your forgiveness and strength, resting in Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Heavenly Father, You are the God of liberation, the One who breaks every chain through Your mighty power. I come before You today, desperate for freedom from the addictions that bind me. You see every struggle, every moment I’ve fallen, and You offer me grace through Christ who sets me free indeed. Grant me strength to overcome these bondages, as John 8:36 promises, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit to walk in victory. Surround those trapped in addiction, breaking their chains with Your love. Uproot the lies that fuel these habits, and plant Your truth in our hearts. Empower us to stand firm in the freedom You’ve won, resisting the yoke of slavery. Guide us to community and support, and let Your healing flow through us. In Jesus’ powerful name, Amen.
Addiction can feel like an unbreakable chain, but John 8:36 declares that if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. God’s power is greater than any bondage, offering liberation through Christ’s victory over sin. Reflect on Psalm 107:14, where God brings His people out of darkness and breaks their chains. Consider times when God has given you strength to resist temptation—His grace is your foundation. As you meditate on Galatians 5:1, picture yourself standing firm in Christ’s freedom, no longer burdened by slavery to sin. Addiction may tempt you, but God’s promise of healing is stronger. Lean on His strength, seek His community, and trust His plan to restore you. Let His truth guide you to a life of freedom and purpose.
