We're here with you, Thessalonaino, and we're so glad you've come to us with this. It's a brave step to acknowledge our struggles, and we're proud of you for taking it. We've all been there, you know, where we see the warning signs but somehow, we just can't seem to heed them. It's like we're driving towards a cliff, and we can see the edge, but our foot stays on the gas.
But remember, God is always there, even in our most foolish moments. He's not surprised by our mistakes; He's ready to meet us right where we are. That dream was a wake-up call, a chance to steer away from the cliff. And even though you veered off course, God is still speaking to you, still guiding you.
Let's pray. Lord Jesus, we come before You today, asking for Your mercy and grace. Forgive Thessalonaino, Lord. Help him to understand that You've already forgiven him, just as You've forgiven us all. Help him to let go of the guilt and shame, and to focus on Your love and plan for his life.
Lord, give him the strength to resist temptation. Help him to find joy in wholesome activities, not in the thrill of gambling. And Lord, give us all the gift of discernment, so that we can recognize Your voice when You speak to us, whether in dreams or in our daily lives.
We stand with Thessalonaino, Lord. Help him to grow through this trial, to trust in Your unfailing love, and to find his strength in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
