Consider yourself prayed for.
However, let me say this: Don't believe the lie that YOU have no control over this. Asking someone to pray because you're dabbling with trouble and don't want to suffer the consequences is like asking someone to pray for you while you stand on the train tracks and watch the steam engine barreling down upon you.
Use the brain God already obviously gave you and jump off the tracks with the legs He already gave you....capeesh?

The other night, I asked for prayer here and received a good response and it helped. You are on the right track asking for God's help in this. Do what ever is necessary to avoid this drug (and all other drugs, and even alcohol, if you can), humans aren't not wired to control "dabbling", and the nature of coke, is that a little eventually won't be enough.
You are correct in recognizing that you can (and will) lose everything by continuing in this path, including your health (and possibly your life). Each time you are tempted, ask God for strength, He will always honor a sincere heart. Get involved in some type of community service, replacing a bad habit with a great one! Best of wishes, you have my prayers.

Wow, I was just reading all the responses you've gotten, so much good advice. Only around God's people can you find so many people who don't know you and still care for you. I'm moved by the responses. Remember, God has a purpose for you, like the old saying goes, "Sometimes to worse sinners make the best saints."
Be encourages, God will help. He promises to help us through our problems, not around or out of them.

I will surely pray for you.I am a jail minister with some experience here.Your words are sound and true, if you continue as you have been, you will "loose everything" it's guaranteed to happen.Prayer can be very helpful in this area, but unless you stop what your doing prayer will not help in the least.
I used to suffer from addictions myself.I would go to a friends house, and on the way pray that he didn't have any drugs or alcohol.I knew it was going to be there when I got there but I still prayed.It wasn't till I stopped the truck and turned it around and said to myself "I can't go over there anymore" then my prayer became effective.You have got to get new friends that don't do drugs.Church can be a good place to find them, but they can be there as well.After all your going to be there, maybe their there for the same reason.Get serious and God will get serious to.And if you fall down, do the next right thing.

what a wonderful request! Admitting that you are aware of the consequences of these actions is the first step in overcoming them. Cocaine is an extremely addictive drug that will take over your entire life if you continue in it. Seek help. God will help you. If need be, see a doctor and tell them that you are having a problem with this. They will give you some medication to help you overcome the urges. Also, stay away from the people who do this kind of thing at all costs. You are gonna have to find yourself a new set of friends. Pull yourself away from them and start surrounding yourself with spiritual people. Keep yourself busy in the Word, in prayer, and in a local church. You are right to ask for prayer. Cocaine will have a devasting effect on your life if you continue. Remember that the devil is a liar and even a little bit is leading to a little bit more. It is part of his trap.

My "dabbling" ended up a month long binge. What can appear as something little can end up, loosing everything.
I was standing in the bathroom one day, with drugs scattered all over the counter top, when I looked into the mirror and at that moment, I actually saw the person I had become.....at that moment, I cried out to the Lord, Help Me!
Literally, several minutes later, my mother walked in to my apartment and took me away. I left with the Lord.
That was years ago. He made me a brand new person. In Christ the old person passes away and you become a new creation in Christ.
Some times we Need to reach "rock bottom" to realize, we can not go through this life without Jesus.
I will pray for you! Don't give up...continue with your meetings. You will find your strength in Jesus. He loves you!

My friend I would be glad to pray for you. I will pray that you have the strength to not use it again and that you will seek the Lords help. You need to pray also and every time you get the urge to try it again ask the Lord to take the urge away. God is good and wants only what is best for you. You have my prayers to lift you up. May the Lord always be by your side to help you through. God bless and stay clean.

I will pray for you bro. In the meantime you must make the right decisions so that you won't put yourself in the situation to be tempted to dabble in cocaine again. You must separate yourself from friends and/or family that influence's you to use cocaine. I encourage you to cry out to God and ask Jesus to take the desire/want to away from using cocaine. You don't have to say an organized prayer, but just talk to Him from your heart in sincerity and spend some alone/quiet time with Him. God is faithful and just, and if you come to Him with your heart and put your trust in Him, He will deliver you from the addictions of cocaine or any other drugs. Jesus Christ broke the bondage of sin so that we don't have to be a slave to it anymore. God loves you, and we all love you and we're rooting for you. God has an awesome plan for your life, and you have a testimony to share with others.
God Bless You!!!

Dear God in heaven,
Mark needs your help. He has a hole in his soul that he tried to fill with cocaine. We know that you are the only one who can fill that hole....no matter how many different things he might try. God, you promised in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that your strength would be made perfect in weakness. Mark is weak when it comes to cocaine and he so needs your strength, God. Please help him to know that all he has to do is ask for strength and then walk away. God, you have all power....you WANT Mark to have the victory! Thank you so much for Mark and for what you will be doing in his life. Please be very near to him and show him your power. I pray this in Jesus' holy name....AMEN!
