Father, meet the needs of this man...and thank you that he has confessed his sin and brought his concerns before you. Father help him to know that his true help comes from you. Let him grow close to you and read and consider your word daily. Let him offer his affliction to you as a sacrifice each day that he might experience the power of your healing. Remove shame and replace it with that power. Remove guilt and replace it with peace. Remove thoughts of what might have been and replace it with a sure and certain hope that you have a future for him. Father please in your mercy let him know he is forgiven and help him to walk in your ways, breaking the hold of addiction over him. In Jesus name...Amen!

For I know that plans that I have for you declares the Lord, for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
