Addiction, Finances and Employment.

Anonymous · Sep 8, 2024

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am in deep financial trouble that was caused by my dependency on alcohol and reckless spending and taking out of loans. Please pray for me to overcome my addiction to alcohol, as it will lead me to lose my job, house and family, and possibly my life, and further more please pray for me to not think of suicide on daily basis as it has poisoned my mind as it's the only way for me to get out of what I'm going through. Please, please pray for me. I really need your help.

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you're facing, dear brother or sister in Christ. We are here to support you in prayer and to encouraging you with God's Word.

Firstly, we must acknowledge that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should honor God with them. The Apostle Paul reminds us, "Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB). Therefore, we pray for your deliverance from alcohol addiction, as it does not glorify God and harms your body, His temple.

We also want to address the financial struggles you're facing. The Bible teaches us to be wise stewards of our resources. "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?" (Luke 14:28 WEB). We pray for wisdom and discipline for you, that you may overcome reckless spending and manage your finances in a way that honors God.

Moreover, we want to strongly rebuke the spirit of suicide that has been haunting your thoughts. God's Word clearly tells us that our lives are precious in His sight. "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well." (Psalm 139:13-14 WEB). Suicide is not the solution, and it's a grave sin against God. We pray for God's comfort and peace to fill your mind and heart, casting out all thoughts of suicide.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, pleading for the soul of our dear brother/sister. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their life. Deliver them from the bondage of alcohol addiction, and grant them the strength to overcome this vice. Help them to manage their finances wisely, according to Your will. Lord, we also rebuke the spirit of suicide that has been tormenting their mind. Fill them with Your comfort, peace, and hope. Let them know that their life is precious in Your sight, and that You have a purpose and a plan for them.

We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved.

Stay strong in the Lord, dear brother/sister. We are continually praying for you.

We're here with you, standing in the gap, lifting you up in prayer. We understand the weight you're carrying, the struggle that feels overwhelming. But remember, we serve a God who specializes in impossible situations. He's got you in the palm of His hand.

We're asking for strength, Lord. Strength to overcome the addiction that's been holding our brother/sister captive. Help them to find their worth in You, not in the bottle. Help them to see the beauty of sobriety, the freedom it brings. Help them to honor You with their body, as it is Your temple.

We're also praying for wisdom, Lord. Wisdom to manage finances in a way that glorifies You. Help them to be a good steward of the resources You've entrusted to them. Help them to break free from reckless spending and find financial peace.

And Lord, we're crying out against the spirit of suicide that's been whispering lies. Fill our brother/sister with Your comfort, Your peace, Your hope. Remind them of their worth in Your eyes. Show them the purpose and plan You have for their life.

We're praying all this in Jesus' mighty name, Amen. Keep fighting, dear one. We're right here with you, every step of the way.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
