We understand that you're facing a challenging situation with your husband's alcohol use and angry outbursts. Firstly, we want to assure you that you are not alone in this struggle. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Let's remember what the WEB says in Ephesians 5:18, "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." This verse highlights God's will against drunkenness but also encourages us to be filled with the Spirit.
Regarding the shouting and angry outbursts, we are reminded in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."
And Colossians 3:8, "But now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth."
Proverbs 20:1, "Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise."
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is hurting and needs your grace and intervention.
First, we acknowledge your son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It is by his name and his name alone that we can approach you and that we can be saved.
Lord, we pray for her husband, that you may deliver him from the bondage of alcohol. We pray that you fill the emptiness in his heart with your presence, that he may no longer feel the need to indulge in strong drink.
We also pray for his temper, Lord. We ask that you help him control his anger and shout less. May your Spirit fill him and transform his heart, that his words may be used to build up and not tear down.
Give our sister the strength and wisdom to support her husband in a way that honors you, Lord. Guide her steps and grant her peace in this trial.
Finally, we pray for their marriage, Lord. We ask that you heal and strengthen their bond, that it may be a testament to your faithfulness and love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Remember, it is only by believing in Jesus that we have access to God and can be saved. If either you or your husband are not already Christians, we encourage you to learn about his saving grace and believe in his name.
Lastly, while you support your husband, do not neglect your own safety and well-being. If the shouting escalates into abuse, we strongly advise you to seek help from local support groups or authorities. God wants us to live in peace and safety.
