Cling to His Words for Hope in the Fight Against Addiction
When we love someone with a substance use disorder, it’s natural to turn to the internet, books, or other people for guidance and strength. But the truest source of hope and wisdom comes from God’s Word.
Some of our Finding Hope leaders shared Scripture that has encouraged them in their own recovery journey. May these verses bring you comfort, strength, and peace. Take time to read through them, write down the ones that speak to your heart, and keep them close.
“You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out!” Deuteronomy 28:6
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalms 143:8
“The Lord God is my strength, [my source of courage, my personal bravery, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet And makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence; not stand still in terror] on my high places [of challenge, trouble, suffering, or responsibility].” Habakkuk 3:19 (Amplified)
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
“I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” Psalm 27:13-14 (ESV)
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3
“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5
“For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14
No matter where you find yourself today — whether weary, discouraged, or hopeful — God’s Word reminds us that we are never alone. His promises are steady, His strength is unfailing, and His peace is available to each of us.
There is hope in the fight against addiction.
