Sobriety Bible – Prayer

Prayer is a huge part of life. I have been sober for nearly 3 years now and I have been actively praying for just over 2 years.

I find that by simply doing what the Bible says, I am relieved of many of the anxieties that I suffered from during early sobriety.

Here are some verses of scripture from the Bible that back up what I am saying about prayer. These scriptures are telling you how to pray and what to pray about.  Simple prayers such as ‘Please give me understanding and courage to face whatever comes my way today’ asking God for what you want. asking for healing, asking for peace of mine, asking for an answer to the problems you are experiencing. This has changed my life for sure.

Reading the proverbs is a great place to start if you are not familiar with the Bible. Or even if you need a refresher!
