I am a recovering heroin addict, born atheist, and am taking RCIA classes, etc., in preparation for my Baptism this coming Easter. I’ve taken steps to put myself into a controlled environment but upon getting a new job I’ve become surrounded by users. The temptation is so great that somedays I call in sick so I don’t have to face it. I’ve talked with my supervisor and they’ve moved the people nearby who were active users, even fired one, but my issue is that I thought that in walking with God and being clean for six months that I’d have a stronger defense against it. I need advice and support, please. Does anyone know a good prayer to use, or something from the Bible that will help guide and motivate me? I want to do this for God, to be a good daughter, and to earn his approval rather than saying no to drugs so that I don’t go back to jail and lose everything I’ve worked so hard for in my new life. Help, please?!!
 
This is a prayer forum, we mainly can pray for you … I suggest you put another thread in another forum so you can get some advice. Meanwhile, I will be praying for you … the Divine Mercy Chaplet is a strong and effective prayer. Here is a link to the entire chaplet on youtube …


O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, Implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen
 
Get a single decade rosary - they are small enough to carry without getting too tangled. Learn to say the rosary, or just hold it for comfort when temptation is at hand…
May God continue watching over you and aid in your struggle…

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima, AMEN!
 
Many prayers for you and your situation. …

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,
and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep.

Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones, and all for Your love’s sake.
Amen.
🙏🙏🙏
 
Praying for your recovery. The rosary is like a spiritual sword. Pray it everyday.

I do mine daily but would like to get a single decade for work, that’s a great idea. I wear it when I’m feeling significantly weak and it helps and sometimes I say it in my head. Thanks so much, that’s a great idea!
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

I am definitely praying that God Blesses you with strength, perseverance, and guidance to follow the faithful path He has set for you
 
I prayed the Rosary with my Minister, like a mini-adoration session on Sunday with only one candle lit in the window sill and the Lord told me not to be ‘timid’ anymore, to have conviction about my beliefs. I’ve never considered myself to be anywhere in the realm of ‘timid’ so I knew it was coming from Him. lol!! It re-ignited me so much and this new year so far has been amazing! I’m at work and I’m not even tempted. I will continue to pray every day for this kind of amazing peace!!
