Troparion of St Ephrem of Nea Makri Tone 1
You shone forth like the sun on the mountain of Amoman, O God-bearer. / Through martyrdom you departed unto God. / You endured the invasion of the barbarians, / O Ephraim, Great Martyr of Christ. / Therefore, you pour forth grace forever upon those who devoutly call upon you. / Glory to Him Who gave you strength. / Glory to Him Who magnified you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, grants healing to all.

PRAYER to the Holy Martyr Ephraim oF Nea Makri for Deliverance from Addictions
O Holy Martyr Ephraim, look with compassion upon my distress and, as thou didst deliver the young man from his cruel addiction, so also pray for me that our Lord and Saviour, for Whom thou didst witness unto death, may deliver my soul from captivity to Satan. For I am in cruel bondage and suffering because of my weakness and sinfulness. Beseech our merciful Lord that, as He didst lead the Hebrews forth from slavery in Egypt and called His people out of Babylon, as He delivered the youth from the demon, and freed the daughter of the Canaanite woman, and healed the woman taken in adultery and restored the Samaritan woman, that He may also set me free and deliver me from the demon of addiction*. I confess that I have fallen into this evil through my own slothfulness and weakness, but have mercy and pray for me, O saint and martyr of God.
PRAYER to the Icon of the Inexhaustible Cup
Hear our prayer, most holy Protectress, for you are patient with our impurities and charitable with your Cup of healing and hope which you pour forth upon those that venerate you. Those who struggle with addictions are acquainted with the false promises therein, and therefore with weeping beseech your compassion on this miserable state of being. Those who have husbands or wives, brothers or sisters, children or friends burdened with emotional problems, run to you for personal courage as well as to ask your intervention into the lives of loved ones. Have pity upon our twisted paths and heal us, O Theotokos, according to our need and faith and, most of all, according to your wonderful mercy. Let us find uncorrupted and unspoiled joy in your kindness, that we may worship your Son and our God with pure hearts, sober minds, and eternal gratitude. Amen.
PRAYER to be said continually by one who is struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol*
O Lord, Jesus Christ, through the prayers of Thy Holy Martyr Ephraim, have mercy on me and deliver me from this cruel bondage.
* Note: that this could potentially be changed based on whatever one’s specific need might be, e.g. depression, disease, passion, etc.
