Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Stephen, Mesherone's friend's son, who is desperately battling with alcoholism and is now suicidal. Lord, You see his pain and his struggle, and we ask for Your divine intervention in his life. We pray that You would break the chains of addiction that bind him and bring him to a place of healing and restoration.
Lord, we ask for the application of Your Word in Matthew 10:34-36, that You would separate all those things and people that enable his condition. Remove any influences that are not of You and that hinder his recovery. We pray that Stephen would turn his life over to Jesus, finding in Him all that he needs for healing, peace, and purpose.
Father, we also pray for those who are caring for Stephen in the psych ward. Grant them wisdom, compassion, and the right resources to support his recovery. Surround Stephen with Your love and protection, and let Your Holy Spirit work mightily in his heart and mind.
We trust in Your power to save and to heal, and we thank You in advance for the work You are doing in Stephen's life. May he come to know You as his Savior and find true freedom in Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
