Prayers about Gambling
Prayer For All Addicted To Gambling
Loving Lord, I bring before You those that are addicted to gambling. I pray that in Your grace, You would help each one to break this destructive habit and rebuild their lives with You at the centre. Lord, I know that gambling is a shocking addiction that breaks up friendships and families and causes lives to be destroyed and relationships to be severed.
Father, I ask that in Your grace You would look in pity that those that are caught up in the gambling habit, and draw them into saving faith in the Lord Jesus, so that their lives may be rebuilt and renewed in Him.
All forms of addiction are from the evil one whose purpose is to kill and destroy, and the enemy is certainly using gambling to try to destroy lives. But I pray that in Your grace, You would take each life that has been damaged and broken through gambling, and draw each one back to Yourself and into a true and saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Loving Lord, be with all those that are addicted today and rescue them quickly from the evils of gambling. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Can God Ever Forgive Me?
Dear God, I have done so many terrible things in my life and now I am caught up in gambling and have squandered away my life, my friends, my family, my money and also my dignity. How could You ever forgive me, God? People tell me that I am beyond Your forgiveness God – is that true?
I was reading in a Bible that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross to take away my sins, every single last one of them, and that He would wash me white as the driven snow. It said that even though my sins were bright scarlet and my heart blackened like coal, He promised to forgive the sins of everyone who simply believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Who died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. If they believe this, God would save them and make them His children and give them eternal life. Is that true God? Is there a catch God? Lord, I want to believe that. Lord, I do believe it.
Oh God, I have done so many terrible things in my life, but I trust what You have said. I do believe that Jesus died to take the punishment for my sins and that by believing in Him, all my sins have been washed right away. Lord, I know that sins have consequences, and I know that I have hurt many people and done many wrong things, but help me Lord to rebuild those relationships again and to break the power of sin in my life.
Thank You, God, that You care for a wretch like me. Thank You that You sent Your Son to die on the cross to take the punishment for my sins, so that by believing on Him I might be made a new person and be given eternal life. Thank You, God.
Amen.

Prayer From A Compulsive Gambler
Dear Father God, I have sinned and become obsessed with gambling to the extent that it has become a terrible compulsion in my life, for which I am deeply ashamed and grieved in my spirit.
Lord, I know that there is nothing that commends me to You except that I come in the name of Jesus, and ask that in His name, I might be washed clean of this sin and made whiter than snow. Lord, I know that I cannot do this on my own but only in His strength, only in the power of His Holy Spirit.
Lord, I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again so that the power of sin might be broken in my life. I confess that I have wandered far from You, but I also know that You are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to anger and of great goodness, and I know that this life-style that has so enwrapped me is not Your will for my life. Help me Lord, to break free. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer From A Distraught Gambler
Oh God, my life is being destroyed with my gambling addiction, and I am so caught up in it that I know I cannot stop on my own. Lord, You know how badly this has affected my home, my family and my finances and friends. I have lost everything and everyone I care about and I am at my wits end. Lord, please help me to stop this destructive and evil habit and release me from its chains of bondage. Help me God. I can do nothing myself. I am impotent to help myself. You alone Lord can help me, and I am relying on You. Please, please forgive me for the way that I have behaved. I realise that I have been making gambling the god in my life in place of You. Forgive me Lord.
Lord, I do trust You and I know that my sins were all forgiven at the cross, but I also know that for a long time I have been out of fellowship with You. I have behaved in ways that I should not have done. I have done things that have grieved and hurt Your Holy Spirit. I know I have displeased and angered You in so many ways. Lord, I acknowledge my sins and realise that it is against You that I have sinned. I come to you in humble penitence and pray that You would help me cut free from all the gambling cords that have entrapped me so tightly.
Lord, I want to be free of my gambling and turn my life around with Christ at the centre. I know that the responsibility to stay out of casinos and to refuse to participate in any form of gambling is my own responsibility, nevertheless Lord, I ask for Your strength and Your help to keep this resolve firm and sure, day by day and moment by moment.
Thank You that You have promised that Your grace is sufficient, no matter what difficulty we find ourselves in, and Father, I trust that underneath me are Your everlasting arms to uphold and heal. Thank You in Jesus' name,
Amen.

Look down in love and pity we pray, on all who are shackled to this compulsive habit and ask that the chains that bind them to this destructive practice may be broken, and that in Your and grace and mercy they may be released from its iron grip.
We pray that Jesus Himself would minister to each one through the lives and witness of friends and family who know You, and we pray that in Your grace each one would be brought to a saving faith in Jesus, for only in Him can the power of sin and evil be severed. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
