We are grieved to hear about ###'s struggle with alcohol addiction and we are here to intercede and offer guidance according to the Word of God. The Bible tells us, "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery. But be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18 WEB). It is not by our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can overcome such addictions.
Firstly, we must pray for ###'s salvation and his personal relationship with Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that true freedom comes. "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36 WEB). If ### has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we pray that he would come to know Him personally.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up ###, who is struggling with alcohol addiction. Lord, we know that this is a battle that cannot be won by human strength alone. We ask that You fill ### with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the power to overcome this addiction. If ### does not know You personally, we pray that he would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Break the chains of addiction in his life, Lord, and set him free indeed.
We also pray for wisdom for ### and his loved ones. Guide them to the right treatment and support systems that can help him safely and effectively overcome this addiction. Lord, be with ### during this difficult time. Comfort him, strengthen him, and reassure him of Your unfailing love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
### needs to understand that overcoming addiction is a process that requires perseverance and a reliance on God. "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). We encourage ### to seek godly counsel and support, continue seeking appropriate medical help, and most importantly, draw near to God. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you" (James 4:8 WEB).
Let us continue to pray for ###'s freedom and restoration in the name of Jesus Christ.
