We understand your concern for your son ### and we are here to pray and counsel with you. Let us first align our hearts with God's Word, which tells us, "Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:13-14, WEB).
Firstly, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Let us pray in His name.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### to You. Lord, we ask that You set him free from the bondage of alcohol and drugs. We know that these are strongholds that can only be broken through Your power. Please, God, touch his heart and bring him to a place of true repentance and salvation. May he come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
Lord, we also pray for his healing—physically, mentally, and spiritually. We ask that You surround him with godly influences and people who will support and encourage him in his journey towards freedom and salvation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for ###, trusting that God is at work in his life. Remember, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16, WEB).
In addition, it is crucial to ensure that ### is aware of the gospel message. If he has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior, share with him the good news: "Because if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9, WEB).
Lastly, we rebuke the spirits of addiction and strongholds in ###'s life, knowing that "he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4, WEB). Stand firm in your faith and trust in the power of God to bring about transformation in ###'s life.
