Continue praying the Novena for Addiction Recovery to seek God's mercy and strength for recovery from addiction.
Today's Focus: Self-Knowledge
On this seventh day, we pray for growth in self-knowledge needed for real progress.
Prayer for Day 7
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You and praise You for Your never-ending mercy and love. We come before You to implore Your assistance in recovery from addiction.
You know intimately the struggles and sufferings that all people face in our fallen world. You wish to pour out grace and assistance to all who suffer. You are able to help us grow in all virtues necessary for a holy life, and You long to give this help to all of us.
Please pour Your merciful assistance on all who struggle with addiction, and help all who are on this recovery journey to grow in the self-knowledge they need to make real progress!
Help us to truly believe in Your merciful love for us. Help us to turn to You as a loving Father in every instance of difficulty we encounter in our lives.
I especially ask in this novena (mention your intentions here).
Lord, have mercy on us, now and always!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
