Prayer Request

Submitted: 1 year ago

Please pray for my recovery from my gambling addiction. I am working 4 jobs to try to pay off the debt I have accrued over the past 10 years. I struggle every day to not go to the casino Ocean Downs. I see so many people in there, throwing away their money like I have, I swear it is Satan’s Lair… all I have to do is go in and ban myself from going there again… but I can’t find the strength to do this. Please pray for my strength so I can do this and stop gambling. It’s the only place I struggle with at this time. I used to go to Harrington, and Dover Downs, but with God’s grace, that has stopped. I want Jesus to break the chain of this Ocean Downs addiction. If you knew me 12 years ago, I hated gambling and told friends not to do it. I can tell you the moment and place I got hooked. It was in AC. I hate it, but love it, and it is an endless battle. I have a friend whose husband committed suicide because of gambling, I absolutely understand how this happened, and have thought about it myself. I don’t feel that way today, and with the help of Jesus, I feel I am making progress, but please pray to keep me out of Ocean Downs and to stay focused on working my 4 jobs to pay off the debt. In Jesus’s name … Amen.
