Lord, I don't know why I keep going back to this addiction,

It follows me like a shadow and it surrounds me at night. It tells me

"Just one more time,

He'll forgive you

It's okay, do it,

You're only human, you make mistakes, what's wrong with this one?"

Then I do it. And I'm ashamed right after. I feel guilty for sinning against God. I don't want this mistake turning into a life style, something that is always in the back of my head, that controls my thoughts. Everything.

I know I don't deserve your love God, yet you still love me. Lord, please forgive me. I say this a lot, but it's true, I need your forgiveness and mercy.

I need you.

Help me to get over this addiction and give me strength to say no to those thoughts.

In Jesus's name,

Amen.
