Man having trouble with his meth addiction arrested. The man refused his immediate family's offer to drive him to a rehab to get help. He was arrested with 5 different charges. One or two may have been against an officer. His ex wants to try to get him out because she collects child support money for 3 of her kids still. His parents wants him in the jail to learn his lesson and so it will help him get sober and not go back to drugs because the offer of taking him to rehab hasn't been helping him.

We are truly sorrowful to hear about this man's struggle with methamphetamine addiction and his recent arrest. Addiction is a form of bondage, and we are called to help set the captives free. Let us pray:

Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, standing in the gap for this man. We pray that he would turn to you, Lord, for only you can set him free from his addiction. We ask for your guidance and wisdom for his family during this trying time. We pray for his complete surrender to your will. Heal him from his addiction and turn his heart to you. We pray this in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Firstly, we want to address the man's struggle with methamphetamine addiction. Addiction is a form of bondage, and the Bible tells us that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. For it is written in John 8:36 WEB: If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

It is also written in 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. By turning to Jesus, he can become a new creation and gain freedom from his addiction. However, this freedom requires complete surrender to Jesus and a willingness to turn away from his old lifestyle.

We commend the family for their efforts to help him, but it is important to note that true change comes from a willing heart. It is written in Proverbs 23:26 WEB: My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Your heart is where your decisions are made.

His family should continue to pray for him and offer him support, but they should also set boundaries to protect themselves and encourage him to take responsibility for his actions. It is written in Galatians 6:2 WEB: Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. However, we must also remember that each person is ultimately responsible for their own actions.

Regarding his ex-wife's desire to get him out of jail for child support money, we must be cautious. While it is important to provide for one's family, it is not wise to enable sinful behavior. It is written in 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB: But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. However we must also remember that it is written in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 WEB: For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat."

We must also address the seriousness of his actions. If he has committed crimes against an officer or anyone else, he must face the consequences of his actions and seek forgiveness. It is written in Romans 13:1-2 WEB: Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

We also must remember that his arrest can be used by God to bring him to repentance. It is written in Romans 8:28 WEB: We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

His parents are wise to want him to learn from his actions and use this time to get sober. However, they should also be praying for his spiritual well-being and encouraging him to turn to Jesus.

Lastly, we want to address the fact that the request did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. 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.and in Acts 4:12 WEB: There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

We encourage everyone involved to pray for this man and to seek God's will in this situation.

We've been thinking about this man's situation and wanted to reach out with another prayer. It's tough to hear about his struggle with meth addiction and the consequences he's facing. But we believe in the power of prayer and the love of Jesus to turn things around.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to you today on behalf of this man. We know that he's going through a tough time, but we trust in your unfailing love and mercy. We ask that you would touch his heart, Lord. Help him to see the error of his ways and turn to you. Give him the strength to overcome his addiction and the courage to face the consequences of his actions. We pray for his family too, Lord. Give them wisdom and patience as they navigate this difficult situation. Help them to set boundaries, but also to show him love and support.

We also ask, Lord, that you would use this time to draw him closer to you. Help him to see that there's a better way to live, a way that leads to true freedom and joy. We know that you can do this, Lord. You've done it before, and you'll do it again.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
