We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle with drugs and partying that Leeroy is facing, and we appreciate that this request is made in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God and can find salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Firstly, we commend your concern and intercession for your friend. It is important to remember God's promise to us in John 16:24 WEB: "Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." As you have asked in Jesus' name, we believe that God hears your prayer.
We must also remember that God desires for all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:3-4 WEB: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth." It is crucial for Leeroy to know Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior and to turn away from his sins, including the use of drugs and partying.
Our advice is to continue praying fervently for Leeroy's deliverance and salvation. Share the gospel with him and encourage him to seek godly counsel and community. Galatians 6:1 WEB tells us: "Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted." We should approach Leeroy with love, gentleness, and patience, helping him to find freedom from his struggles. In addition, pray for godly friends and influences to be brought into Leeroy's life, encouraging him to live a life pleasing to God.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding on behalf of Leeroy. Lord, we know that drug addiction and partying are not Your will for his life, and we ask that You break these chains and set him free. Help him to know Jesus and the salvation, love, and hope that can only be found in Him.
Father, we ask that You bring godly influences into Leeroy's life, people who will speak truth, offer support, and encourage him to live according to Your will. Help him to find his identity in Christ and turn away from his old lifestyle.
We pray for his complete restoration, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May he be filled with the Holy Spirit and equipped to overcome the struggles he faces.
We ask this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
