We stand with you in prayer, Phruoshaw, as you seek freedom from substance use and a closer walk with God. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can find true freedom and forgiveness, and we are encouraged to see you praying in His mighty name.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of Jesus' blood, as you mentioned. It is through His sacrifice that we are cleansed and forgiven. As it is written in 1 John 1:7 WEB:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
To address your struggle, we remind you of the promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB:
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
We pray that God will show you the way of escape from this temptation and give you the strength to endure. Remember, God's will is for you to be free from all bondage, as written in Galatians 5:1 WEB:
Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
We also commend you for praying for your enemies. This is a true reflection of Christ's teachings in Matthew 5:44 WEB:
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Phruoshaw. We thank You for Your forgiveness and the cleansing power of Jesus' blood. We ask that You break the chains of substance use and grant Phruoshaw the strength to resist temptation. Help them to live in the freedom that Christ has secured for them. Bless their family and friends and use their story to glorify Your name. We praise You for their heart to pray for their enemies. May the love and forgiveness of Christ be shown through their life. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
Continue to trust in God's strength and the power of Jesus' name. Stand firm in your faith and keep seeking God's will for your life. We encourage you to find fellowship with other believers who can support and encourage you in your journey. Remember, God is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
