Prayer for those enslaved by drugs and alcohol Lord Jesus Christ our God, You who in your love for men cast out the demons who chained the possessed, we beg you to release today your servants and your maidservants chained by all forms of possession, especially those who are enslaved to drugs and alcohol. Lead them to your light and your peace in your infinite mercy, you who are the way, the truth and the life, we pray to you, hear us and have mercy on us.
