We stand with you in this battle against alcoholism, a battle that is not yours alone, but ours together in Jesus Christ. We are reminded in Galatians 6:2 WEB to Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Your struggle is our struggle, and we will pray and support you through this journey.
Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in the power of Jesus' name. You have prayed in His name, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that ...you will ask what you desire of me in my name, and I will do it. John 14:14 WEB.
We praise God for the healing and comfort He has provided you in the past, and we trust He will do so again. Remember, God is always with you, even in your darkest hours. As it says in Psalm 34:18 WEB, Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
However, we want to remind you that deliverance from addiction is not solely about you finding your way back to God. It's also about God reaching out to you, as He did on that beach in Ecuador. We encourage you to surrender your life completely to Jesus Christ, trusting in His love and mercy. He is the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep. Luke 15:4-7 WEB.
While we pray for God to place good and Christian people in your path, we also encourage you to be that person to others. As you seek support, also be a support to your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us not only bear one anothers burdens but also remind ourselves to not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 WEB.
We pray that God will grant you the strength to overcome this addiction. We pray for complete healing and restoration, not just from alcoholism, but from the pain and loss you've experienced. We pray that you will find hope and encouragement to continue the fight, and we pray that God will use your testimony to help others who are struggling. We pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you on your journey and will lead you to a church family that will love and support you in your journey.
We leave you with these words from Romans 8:38-39 WEB,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
