Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Analogepho who is seeking Your forgiveness and guidance. Lord, You know the struggles and the pain that addiction has brought into his life. We ask for Your mercy and grace to be upon him as he repents for giving into temptation. Your Word says in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We stand on this promise, believing that You will cleanse and renew him.
Father, we pray for strength and courage for Analogepho as he battles this addiction. Help him to resist the enemy's lies and to focus on Your truth. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, You assure us that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." We ask that You provide a way out for him, Lord, and guide him on the path to recovery.
Lord Jesus, we ask for Your protection over Analogepho's mind and heart. Calm his fears and anxieties about the future, and replace them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding . Help him to trust in Your plan and to lean not on his own understanding, but in all his ways acknowledge You, so that You will make his paths straight .
We pray for a community of support to surround him, to encourage and uplift him in this journey. May Your Holy Spirit fill him with the power to overcome and to walk in the freedom that You have promised.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
