Prayer for family and friends to quit smoking.

Aug. 2011

Let's try this one again shall we? Whoever out there has family and/or friends that are still smoking, join with me in prayer for our loved ones to once and for all be able to be free of this addiction. Father in Heaven please give those we cherish in our lives to have a desire to quit smoking and enable them to quit. We know that through you, all things are possible. Thank you Father. In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen.









Dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to join me in prayer for our family and friends to be set free from the desire to smoke. It is something that has weighed on my heart for many years & this seems like a great opportunity to come together to pray for each other to beat this habit. Some have wanted to do this for a long time, some have already done it and gone back to it - whatever the case, let's ask for God help us with this one.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come together to ask you to deliver our family and friends from the desire to smoke. Their health is very important to us Lord and we know that by stopping will be a double blessing - both for those that smoke and those that love them. Father, we are depending on you to lead people to whatever method will help them let go of this habit - whether it be gum, a patch, etc., or if nothing is needed, then just let that be so. We thank you so much Father, and know that if your people will but take the first step, one day at a time you will continue to lead them. Thank you Father. In Jesus precious and mighty name, Amen.

I appreciate all the prayers so much. Granddaughter and grandson spoke to their dad this weekend - he is going to try to give up this habit tomorrow. (He only recently started to smoke again when he got the job...crazy, huh?!) Anyway, that is his plan so keep praying...hopefully others are going to be able to leave smoking behind as well. Thank you Father for hearing our prayers and please help those who want to quit be able to do this. And, put upon the hearts of those who don't realize they can do without smoking, to know they can. Thank you Lord. In Jesus previous and mighty name, Amen.

Father in Heaven, TerryAnn and I come to You asking for Your guidance and direction in leading those struggling with the addictions of smoking to be cast free. Lord, may it be done by Your mercy and grace. Cast away addictions and bring opportunities and joys of activity and serving. We pray this be done in Your Holy ways. In Jesus Christ's Name we pray together, Amen.

Job 22:28:



You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. Scriptures are replete with principles that support the power of the tongue. This scripture refers to your royal anointing-the favor God has poured over you because you belong to Him.



* I decree and declare:







That you dwell in the secret place of the Most High God and dwell under the shadow of the Almighty and everything that is misaligned you command to come into divine alignment.



That you have the mind of Christ and therefore seek things above and not beneath.



That you ascend into new realms of power and authority and access new dimensions of divine revelation.





That you wear the helmet of salvation to protect your mind from negative thoughts that would derail God's purpose and plans for you





That truth protects your integrity, righteousness protects your reputation, the gospel of peace guides your every step, the shield of faith secures your future and destiny, and the sword of the Spirit grants you dominion and authority.



That new cycles of victory, success, and prosperity will replace old cycles of failure, poverty, and death in your life.



Today is the dawning of a new day. Your season of frustration and failures is over, and you walk in a season of20success and prosperity. Old things have passed away; all things have become new.





That Psalm 25:21 ministers to you, "let integrity and uprightness preserve you; for you wait on Thee."



That your thoughts are governed only by things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse (Philippians 4:8-9 the message).







That your help comes from the Lord and He will not allow you to be destroyed. He that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121)







Command Your Day



Even in the midst of what looks like catastrophe, keep speaking the blessing, keep the ship of your life on a steady course, and before you know it the storm clouds will clear and you will have broken through your difficulty and left it far behind you. In the name of Jesus we pray and seal this prayer under the blood and arrest Satan and all his plans that each and everyone fails and bears no fruit. Amen

Thanks for these verses Suny & I apologize for not finding them sooner. May God bless you & Ed, Amen.


Hey, dear Terryann, how is your family doing? Did everyone quit smoking? Just today I suspected Harry-FRiEnD of smoking a "joint" - I thought it means cigarette... Harry could "fume" at me but luckily (?) enough Fred misunderstood me thinking I wrote about me smoking a "joint"... hahaha! So we made a heavy smog simply with words - because we both (or three of us? but if I count my accounts... hmm... I am rather not accountin9 ) so because we ALL are so talented! :)) Gaze the stars and breathe fresh air, it is much healthier, sweet Terryann... A long walk is always a blessing... Keep your head to the sky!!! Be blessed, dear Terry&Family (as "joint" venture :)), kiss and hugs from BrigittaMaria.. .L♥VE



Stargazer_1 - 28 months ago:

Hi Brig,

What a kwin-ki-dink, just as I read your post here, our FRiEnD sent our son uptown to purchase some "smokes" for tomorrow. So, no, noone has quit I am sorry to report. Please keep praying.....maybe one day, the air will be clear again. One can hope anyway right?! How are you? Keeping you in prayer often. Much love, Terryann

Diotima - 28 months ago:

Hah!! This is the first time in my life to meet this word: kwin-ki-dink... I was looking for it online and in the dictionary but still don't understand it. This migh be the "apos" for me - do you remember, dear Terry?! Everyone is caught sooner or later... This is the time for me... I scolded Hary as well as Fred for smoking like a chimney - so he didn't even respond to me since... :(((

Hi Sorche,

I I did not realize you had lost a baby.and am so very sorry to hear that. I will certainly pray for you to be able to give up the cigarettes again. I am sure you can do this!! You are a strong lady! Please do not even give thought to not sending a present (pressie - how cute -I love what you call them). I hope that you will have a very Merry Christmas with family and friends and be blessed with joy in the New Year. Love you,

Thanks Kathleen!! How are you? Will you have Christmas with your family? Love


Thank you for this posting. I've been smoking for 30 yrs or more and I really need to stop smoking due to health problems but it is very hard to quit. I tried everything but nothing works. The only thing that I haven't tried was praying about it. Thank you for reminding me. I will be praying about it. Thank you Terryann. God bless you!

Stargazer_1 - 30 months ago:

You are welcome. Thanks for putting your note here. May God bless you in every endeavor of your life!
