St. Jude Prayer for Addiction

Addiction

Pray to St. JudeGod in heaven, help me to know your love includes me, even when I fail. Open my heart to your healing power. Come, Lord Jesus, and calm the waters of my soul just as you whispered “peace” to the stormy sea. St. Jude, most holy apostle, in my need I cry out to you. I pray that you will intercede for me so that I may find strength to overcome my weakness. Bless me with your mercy, and bless all those who struggle with addiction. Touch them, heal them, reassure them of the Father’s constant love. Remain at my side, St. Jude, to chase away all evil temptations, fears, and doubts. May the quiet assurance of your loving presence illuminate the darkness in my heart and bring lasting peace. Amen.

Post your prayer or petition below for those suffering from addiction. Or if you would like, send your special intentions for those suffering from addiction to the altar of St. Jude at the National Shrine of St. Jude where it will be prayed for by the Claretians.

    Dear St. Jude, Holy Apostle and friend of Jesus: I pray to you today for freedom from my compulsive overeating. Please pray for me that I may find fulfillment within myself so not to resort to using food, particularly sugar and flower, to deal with my depression and anxiety and resentments. I pray that all other overeaters find relief and freedom from this deadly disease of compulsively overeating. I thank you with all of my heart for all the past prayers that you have helped answer through OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, Amen!

    Pray for Sonya and Steve. That their financial situation would be relieved . Pray for my elderly parents health. Pray for myself, for inner strength to assist them as much as they need. They have so many. That my siblings heart would be touched by God, so that they could spend time with my parents, and not neglect their duties towards them. Finally, for my financial situation, that I might find employment that would bring my employer and myself great happiness.

    I beg of you my dear St. Jude to give my daughter Gina freedom from her drug addiction. After many attempts to stop using drugs, please make this her final one where she is able to remain drug free forever. Ask God, in Jesus name, to grant this favor for me. I will honor you and our heavenly Father eternally. Please St Jude, make this happen for Gina. There is nothing in life I want more.
    Amen

    Please St Jude turn SC away from the claws of the demons. Let him be free of all addictions to make what he did to me right someway somehow. Let me see part of his words come true. I’m devastated and need some financial stability soon. I know you won’t. Fail me. I hope you can show SC the light of our Lord. Thank you for helping me find my misplaced items. Amen. AM
