We understand that you're going through a challenging situation, living with a loved one who is struggling with an addiction to alcohol. This not only affects their life but yours as well, and it's important to approach this situation with God's wisdom and love.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of trusting in God during difficult times. As it is written in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
We will pray for your loved one, that God may deliver them from this addiction and grant them the desire to seek help and turn away from their harmful behavior. We pray that God will protect you from any harm and grant you the patience and wisdom to navigate this situation. We also pray that God will soften your loved one's heart and open their eyes to the damage their addiction is causing, not only to themselves but to those around them.
However, we must also address the ongoing danger you're in. It is not God's will for you to live in fear or be subjected to threats and potential harm. In Matthew 10:28 (WEB), Jesus says, "Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." While this verse is not encouraging physical harm, it reminds us that our ultimate concern should be for our spiritual well-being and that we should not live in fear of physical harm.
We strongly encourage you to seek support and safety. This may mean setting boundaries, seeking temporary separation, or involving professionals who can help manage this situation. It's crucial to remember that enabling this behavior by not taking action can be harmful to both you and your loved one.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God's power and grace. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to trust in Jesus and seek His will in this situation.
Let us pray:
Dear Jesus, we come before You today to lift up our beloved sister and her loved one who is struggling with addiction. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention, that You may break the chains of addiction and grant them the desire to seek help and turn away from their harmful behavior. Protect our sister from any harm, Lord, and grant her the patience and wisdom to navigate this difficult situation. Help her to set healthy boundaries and seek support when needed. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
