We understand your struggle with alcohol, Bitbon, and the feelings of guilt and lack of peace that come with it. Firstly, let's remember what the Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 5:18 (WEB), "Donโt be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." This reminds us that we should seek God's spirit to fill the void, not alcohol.
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Bitbon. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness for the times they have fallen into the temptation of alcohol. We know that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Lord, help Bitbon to resist the temptation of alcohol, and give them the strength to overcome idleness. Guide them to find work, so they may support their family and regain their self-worth. We pray for Your peace to fill their heart and mind, casting out all guilt and anxiety. Give them motivation, will, and clear direction according to Your purpose. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Bitbon, it's crucial to remember that it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and His forgiveness. If you haven't already, accept Jesus as your Savior, and trust in Him. He promises to give you rest and peace (Matthew 11:28-30 WEB).
For your idleness and lack of motivation, remember what Proverbs 19:15 (WEB) says, "Laziness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle person will suffer hunger." We encourage you to seek God's guidance and strength to find productive activities and work. God wants to bless the work of your hands (Deuteronomy 28:12 WEB).
Lastly, for your struggle with alcohol, we encourage you to seek help from Christian support groups or counselors who can provide guidance and accountability. With God's help, you can overcome this struggle. Keep your focus on Jesus, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
