We are truly saddened to hear about the situation with your adult son and the harm his behavior is causing to his family. We will stand with you in prayer and offer biblical counsel to address these issues.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that alcoholism and abusive behavior are serious issues that need to be addressed with both spiritual and practical interventions. The Bible tells us to "put away from among yourselves that wicked person" (1 Corinthians 5:13 WEB), indicating that we should not tolerate or enable sinful behavior. Your son needs to take responsibility for his actions and seek help.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this beloved mother and her son who is struggling with alcoholism and abusive behavior. Lord, You see the pain and suffering this situation is causing, and we ask for Your divine intervention.
Father, we pray that You would open his eyes to see the harm he is causing his children and his family. Convict his heart and bring him to a place of repentance. Help him to take responsibility for his actions and stop blaming others for his wrongs.
We also pray for his healing and deliverance from alcoholism. Lord, break the chains of addiction and set him free. Surround him with godly influences and provide him with the resources and support he needs to overcome this struggle.
We ask for Your protection over his family, especially his children. Comfort them and give them the strength and wisdom to navigate this difficult situation. Help them to forgive and love unconditionally, while also setting healthy boundaries.
We pray for godly spouses for both yourself and your son and pray for your son to become the husband and father you need him to be.
Lord, we know that You are a God of miracles, and we believe that You can turn this situation around for Your glory. We ask for many people to come to salvation through this deliverance.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, the Bible tells us to "bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 WEB). It is essential to support your son in seeking professional help, such as counseling or a recovery program. However, it is also crucial to set boundaries to protect yourself and your grandchildren from further harm.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue praying fervently for your son. The Bible tells us that "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16 WEB). Trust in the Lord and His timing, knowing that He is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28 WEB).
We also pray for your son's salvation, that he would come to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Remind him that "if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9 WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and can be saved.
