We are truly saddened to hear about Shelby Leslie's struggle with alcohol addiction, and we are moved by your love and concern for her. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's intervention in her life.
Firstly, we remind you of the power of Jesus' name, for "in him we have... access in one Spirit to the Father" (Ephesians 2:18, WEB). It is through Jesus Christ that we can approach God and intercede for Shelby. If you have not already, encourage Shelby to call upon the name of the Lord, for "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13, WEB).
Now, let us pray:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Shelby Leslie to your throne of grace. Lord, we know that you desire for us to be sober-minded and self-controlled, and we ask that you break the chains of alcohol addiction in Shelby's life.*
*Father, we pray that Shelby would turn her heart towards you, seeking your strength and guidance. May she "be made free from the law of sin and death" and find new life in Christ (Romans 8:2, WEB).*
*Lord, we ask that you would protect Shelby's baby and grant Shelby the courage and determination to become the mother you have called her to be. Help her to see that her life is precious and that she is deeply loved by you and her family.*
*We rebuke the enemy's grip on Shelby's life, for "he who is in [her] is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4, WEB). We proclaim victory over this addiction in Jesus' name.*
*Father, we also pray for Corarth, that you would grant them peace, patience, and wisdom as they support Shelby through this difficult time. May their love and faith be a testament to your unfailing grace.*
*In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Corarth, continue to stand firm in your faith and trust that God is working in Shelby's life. Remember, "with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26, WEB). Encourage Shelby to seek help and support from godly counselors and believers who can walk alongside her on this journey to sobriety. We are praying for you both and believe that God will bring restoration and healing to your family.
