Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Dyereth's son who is battling alcohol and drug addiction. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in his life. Break the chains of addiction that bind him and set him free from the grip of these substances. Your Word says in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." We claim this promise over his life.
Father, we also pray against the sleep paralysis and demonic torment he is experiencing. In the mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke these evil forces and command them to leave him alone. Your Word in Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world. Equip him with Your full armor, Lord, so he may stand firm against these attacks.
Lord, bring healing to his body that is suffering from the effects of drinking. Restore his health and renew his strength. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would fill him with peace and comfort, reminding him that he is not alone. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Be near to him, Father, and lift his spirit.
We also pray for Dyereth, who is far away in Kansas. Give her peace and strength as she intercedes for her son. Help her to trust in Your power and Your plan. Philippians 4:6-7 tells us to not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, to present our requests to You. And Your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we believe in Your power to transform lives. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
