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 Jesusβ name, we pray,
Amen.
