I find myself visiting the casino a lot lately to keep gambling,please pray i may find better interests and other things to do and that any addiction i have to gambling may be healed and cured

God bless
 
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.
 
Holy Spirit, come upon Paul theApostle and bless him with Your gift of Understanding, that he may know what God commands of him in this life. Fill his heart and inspire his mind, that he may do the will of Our Heavenly Father, and follow Our Lord Jesus Christ along the path of righteousness. Amen.

Paul, I would recommend that you speak to your spiritual director or another priest about your affinity for gambling. In moderation, gambling is not sinful in itself, but if the desire is growing stronger, it may be a sign that something is amiss. Addiction is a heavy cross to bear, so please seek counsel now before things gets any worse. Please let us know if you need more prayers. God bless you!

You don’t see too many poor casinos. That’s because the odds are stacked in their favour. You never win, even when you think you are winning.

Walk away and try something else to win at.
 
Lord, may PaultheApostle donate the money he wants to spend on gambling before he gambles it away. Help him to spend his money wisely and on the poor; may he not waste it gambling, which doesn’t benefit his soul in the least. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

Go to N.A. as well as prayer.

AA teaches us that the lucky ones are the ones who are able to see rock bottom without hitting it.

Lord Jesus,You said,
“I have come to set the captives free.”
We are captive and need Your healing touch.
Free us, Lord, from our addictions,
so that we will be:
…free from the cares and worries that stifle our happiness;
…free from sins that cling to us, and to which we cling;
…free from all compulsive behavior
that prevents us from becoming what You, Lord,
have planned for us.
Bring us, loving Savior,
to the experience of abundantlife
which You promised.

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord,

Amen.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
