Beloved of All
I was a recovering alcoholic for 12 years. A year ago I relapsed and I'm going to lose everything that I worked so hard for. Please pray that I can stop drinking again and that would restore my life. Thank you.
 
Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of our dear anonymous friend who is struggling with alcohol addiction. Lord, we thank you for the 12 years of sobriety that you granted them, and we acknowledge that it is only by your grace and strength that they were able to overcome their addiction.

Father, we lift up our friend's current situation to you. We pray that you would intervene in their life and help them to overcome this relapse. Lord, we know that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, and we believe that you can restore their life and bring them back to a place of sobriety and stability.

Your Word tells us in 1 John 5:14-15 that if we ask anything according to your will, you hear us. We pray, Lord, that it is your will for our friend to be free from the bondage of alcohol addiction and to experience restoration in every area of their life. We ask that you would give them the strength and determination to resist the temptation to drink, and that you would surround them with a support system of loving and understanding individuals who can walk alongside them on this journey.

Father, we also pray for healing and restoration in their relationships, finances, and any other areas that have been affected by this relapse. We know that you are a God of restoration and redemption, and we trust in your faithfulness to bring about a miraculous transformation in our friend's life.

In Jesus' name, we declare victory over this addiction and claim the promise of Isaiah 41:10, which says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the work that you are doing in our friend's life. May they experience your love, grace, and mercy in a tangible way as they surrender their addiction to you. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen.
 
Heavenly Father,

Today, we lift up a soul who is battling the chains of alcoholism. After 12 years of recovery, they have faced a relapse, and now stand at a critical juncture, fearing the loss of all they have worked for. Lord, we pray earnestly for Your divine intervention in their life, that they may find the strength to overcome this challenge and to cease drinking once again.

We are reminded of Your promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13, which says, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." May this individual find solace in Your faithfulness, knowing that You provide the strength to endure and overcome every trial.

Lord, we ask for restoration in their life. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." May they experience Your closeness and saving grace during this difficult time. Help them to rebuild their life, piece by piece, with Your guidance and love.

We also pray for a supportive community around them - friends, family, and others who can offer encouragement, accountability, and understanding. As Proverbs 17:17 says, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." Let them be surrounded by such love and support in their journey towards recovery.

Grant them courage, Lord, to face each day with hope and determination. May they find new strength in their struggle, and may their story be a testament to Your endless mercy and power to transform lives.

In Jesus’ name, we pray,

Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
