Lord, please help Gilchrist to substitute his love for smoking with something else. Whenever he wants to pick up a cigarette may he pick up the Bible instead and keep on reading until his urge to smoke passes. May he develop a deep love for Your Word and take up the practice of reading at least 30 minutes every day. Gilchrist can not quit without your powerful assistance; help him to be open to receiving all the graces you send his way. May he receive the sacraments frequently and do spiritual reading every day. May he take at least 30 minutes to be alone with you in prayer, as he really needs this to begin to detach himself from cigarettes and from the things of the world that separate him from a pure love of You. Help Gilchrist, Lord, and give him the strength to say No! to temptation. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
