We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage. We want to remind you that you are not alone in this, and God cares deeply for you and your family.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of alcoholism. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:18, "Don’t be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." Galatians 5:21 also warns us that "drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; about which I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom." It is clear that excessive drinking is not God's will for our lives. We encourage you to pray fervently for your husband, that God would deliver him from this bondage.
Secondly, we want to encourage you to remain steadfast in your commitment to your marriage. God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. In Malachi 2:16, God says, " 'For I hate divorce,' says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.'"
Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You today, lifting up this dear sister and her family. Lord, we pray for her husband, that You would set him free from the bondage of alcoholism. We pray for their marriage, that You would heal and restore it. We pray for their children, that You would protect them and give them peace. We pray that this family would be drawn closer to You through this trial, and that they would emerge stronger and more united than ever. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek support from your local church or Christian community. They can provide practical help, prayer support, and guidance during this difficult time. Remember, God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We are here with you in prayer and support.
If your husband is not a believer in Jesus Christ then know that your faith is sufficient to pray for him and your family. If he is a believer and has lost his way, pray for his redemption.
