Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of Oscar, who is struggling with the temptation to turn to drugs. Lord, we lift up Oscar to you, knowing that you are the ultimate source of help and deliverance. We pray that you would intervene in his life, Lord, and bring him to a place of surrender and repentance.
Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:17-18 that "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." We ask, Lord, that you would draw near to Oscar in his brokenness and reveal your love and grace to him. Help him to see that true fulfillment and peace can only be found in a relationship with you.
We pray, Lord, that you would break the chains of addiction that bind Oscar. Your Word assures us in Isaiah 41:10 that "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." Strengthen Oscar, Lord, and empower him to resist the temptations that surround him. Fill him with your Holy Spirit, that he may find the strength to overcome this struggle.
Lord, we also pray for Oscar's spiritual journey. May he come to know you personally and intimately. Open his eyes to the truth of your Word and the reality of your love for him. Help him to understand that you are a loving and forgiving Father, ready to embrace him with open arms.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and your willingness to hear our prayers. We trust in your perfect timing and your perfect plan for Oscar's life. May your will be done in his life, and may he experience the freedom and abundant life that can only be found in you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
