We understand your desperate situation, Camara, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and guidance. We are reminded of Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (WEB).
Firstly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to God's throne of grace. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (WEB).
However, we must gently rebuke the notion of trying to control or manipulate someone, even in prayer. Instead of asking God to remove Ronald, we should pray for God's will to be done in his life and yours. Pray for God to change Ronald's heart, convict him of his sins, and help him overcome his addiction. As it is written in Romans 12:17-19, "Don’t repay anyone evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'" (WEB).
We pray for your protection and peace in this difficult time. We ask God to grant you wisdom and discernment as you navigate this situation. May He strengthen you and give you the courage to set boundaries and make decisions that honor Him. Remember, God promises us in Isaiah 41:10, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness" (WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up Camara and Ronald. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in their lives. God, please convict Ronald of his sins, help him overcome his addiction, and transform his heart. Grant Camara Your divine protection, peace, and wisdom. Help her to make decisions that honor You and set boundaries that are pleasing to You. May Your will be done in both of their lives, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you, Camara, to seek godly counsel and support from your local church or a trusted Christian friend. It's crucial to have a community of believers around you in times like these. Also, consider reaching out to local resources that can help with addiction and abuse situations.
