We stand with you in prayer, Isolon, as you seek God's intervention for your husband's complete sobriety from alcohol. It is encouraging to see your faith and persistence in prayer, knowing that God has a perfect plan and timing.
Let us remember that God desires that we live in sobriety and self-control. First Peter 5:8 reminds us, Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Also, alcohol can lead us away from God's will and goodness for our bodies. Ephesians 5:18 "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is recklessness, rather be filled by Spirit speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord;". Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Isolon's husband, asking for Your divine intervention in his life. Lord, we know that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. So we put on the whole armor of God, that he may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We ask that You break the chains of alcohol addiction and grant him complete sobriety. Transform his life, Lord, and let IJC be magnified! Grant Isolon the grace and patience to wait upon Your perfect timing and to trust in Your unfailing love. Lord we know the he has believed on Jesus Christ but if he has not or there is any doubt, we pray that he accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. Therefore, we know when the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
Together, stand firm in the faith, knowing that God is at work. Continue to show love and support to your husband, while trusting God working. Remember that love covers a multitude of sins. First Peter 4:8. If there are areas in both your lives and marriage which do not align with biblical principles, allow God to work and bring repentance and amendment of life. IJC.
