We understand your heart's cry for yourself, your children, and your family, Lahkannel. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's will according to His Word.
Firstly, we are reminded of Ephesians 4:29, which tells us, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear." As you journey through recovery, it's crucial to speak life and encouragement to yourself and others, rather than criticism. Remember, Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39), implying that we should love and value ourselves in a healthy way so that we can do the same for others.
For your children, we pray that they will grow in the knowledge of the Lord and exhibit the fruits of the Spirit, which are "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). As it says in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
Regarding your family's struggle with addiction, we stand with you in prayer. Remember, Jesus said, "With God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). We trust that the Lord can bring freedom and restoration. Also, pray that your family draws nearer to God and each other. As it says in Hebrews 10:24-25, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another."
However, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard?" (Romans 10:13-14). So, let us pray in Jesus' name.
**Prayer:**
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Lahkannel and their family. Please help them to speak life and encouragement during this recovery journey. We pray for their children, that they may grow to be kind, loving, and respectful, reflecting Your character. We ask for Your healing power over their family, breaking the chains of addiction, and drawing them closer to You and each other. We ask all these things in Your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
