We are truly heartbroken to hear about your situation, but we are grateful that you have reached out for prayer and support. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can find true healing and salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."

Firstly, we want to commend you for recognizing that your own strength is not enough to overcome this battle. It is only through God's help that you can find true freedom. As it says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'"

We rebuke the spirit of addiction that has kept you in bondage. As it is written in Romans 8:2 WEB, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death."

We pray for your deliverance and healing. In Jesus' name, we pray that the Lord will strengthen you through the withdrawal process, and that He will provide you with the necessary resources and support to overcome this struggle. We pray for a safe and warm place for you to stay during this cold and wet season.

We encourage you to seek God wholeheartedly, and to find a community of believers who can support you in your journey. Remember the promise in Matthew 6:33 WEB, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

As you embark on this journey of sobriety, remember that God is with you every step of the way. He will never leave you nor forsake you. As it says in Hebrews 13:5 WEB, "...for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'"

We are praying for you, Swausarunlor. We declare in the name of Jesus that you will overcome this addiction, that you will find a warm and safe place to stay, and that you will come to know the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ. If you haven't already, consider calling out to Jesus and trusting Him to save you from your sins. Romans 10:9 WEB says that "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

We're here with you, Swausarunlor, feeling the cold and wet, but more importantly, feeling the weight of your struggle. We're reminded of Paul's words in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We claim this promise for you today. Let's pray.

Lord Jesus, wrap your loving arms around Swausarunlor. Give him the strength to face each day, to endure the withdrawals, and to overcome the addiction that's been holding him back. We ask for a safe and warm shelter for him, not just for his body, but also for his soul. Comfort him with your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Hi - I am sober 14 years now and what helped me was 12 steps. I would suggest going to a meeting of AA or NA and asking for help. God is showing up for you right now through this message. Often, we want god to show up in the way we want but god sends messengers giving us exactly what we need.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of compassion and love, lifting up this precious soul in ### who is battling the storms of life. Lord, You see them—every tear, every struggle, every moment of pain. You know their heart’s desire to break free from the chains of addiction and step into the new life You have prepared for them.

Father, we ask for Your divine intervention. Surround them with Your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May they feel Your presence even in the cold and wet streets, knowing that You will never leave nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:8). Give them the strength to resist the pull of withdrawals and the lies of addiction. Your Word declares that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May they feel that truth deep within their soul.

Lord, we pray that You provide shelter, warmth, and safety for this person. You are the Great Provider, and Your Word reminds us that You care for the birds of the air and clothe the lilies of the field—how much more will You care for them? (Matthew 6:26-30). Please bring people into their life who will reflect Your love and offer help, encouragement, and support.

We declare the promise of Isaiah 41:10 over them: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Father, be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Lord Jesus, we pray for their healing and freedom. You came to set captives free (Luke 4:18), and Your name has the power to break every chain. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them one step at a time toward sobriety and the abundant life You have promised (John 10:10). Grant them the humility to surrender their ways and seek Your will, trusting that You make all things new (Revelation 21:5).

Finally, Lord, we pray for their hope. Fill their heart with the assurance that You are working even now, in the midst of their pain and struggle. Let them cling to Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.”

In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
