Addiction can feel like a relentless storm, trapping the body, mind, and heart in an endless loop of shame and suffering. Substance misuse, bad habits, or secret battles are all examples of addiction that can rob us of our faith and keep us from living the life that God has planned for us. God’s love, however, is a light that shines even in the darkest times. His strength can break the bonds that tie us, and His grace is more powerful than any stronghold.
But here’s the good news: God is not afraid of your struggle. He doesn’t turn away from brokenness He moves toward it with compassion, healing, and power. His Word promises that “whom the Son sets free is free indeed” (John 8:36, NKJV). There is no pit too deep, no night too dark, and no addiction too strong for the redeeming hand of Jesus.
