Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister who is struggling with the heavy burdens of addiction to gambling and alcohol. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble . We ask that You break the chains of these addictions and set her free, for Your Word says that if the Son sets us free, we will be free indeed .
Lord, she is a mother of four, with three teenagers and a little one under a year old. The stress and challenges she faces are overwhelming, and she feels lost and broken. We pray for Your divine intervention in her life. Give her the strength and courage to overcome these struggles. Your Word promises that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit .
We also lift up her marriage to You, Lord. Bless her husband, who is a good stepfather, and bring unity and peace into their home. Help them to navigate the complexities of their blended family with grace and love. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance as they raise their children together.
Father, she feels that she has messed up so badly that You cannot hear her prayers. Remind her of Your unfailing love and mercy. Your Word assures us that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness . Let her feel Your presence and know that You are listening to her cries for help.
We pray for a fresh start and a renewed spirit within her. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and give her the strength to turn away from these destructive habits. Surround her with a supportive community that will uplift her and hold her accountable.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
