Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our sister in Christ and her family. Lord, You know the trials and tribulations she faces, and we ask for Your divine intervention in her husband's life. We pray for deliverance from the bondage of alcohol and for the restoration of peace and harmony within their home.
Your Word says in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." We ask that You provide her husband with the strength to resist the temptation of alcohol and find a way out of this destructive behavior.
Lord, we also pray for protection and comfort for this dear sister and her young daughter. Psalm 46:1 reminds us that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." May they feel Your presence and find refuge in Your loving arms during these challenging times.
We ask for wisdom and guidance for this sister as she navigates this difficult situation. James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Grant her the wisdom to make the right decisions for her and her daughter's safety and well-being.
Lord, we pray for a transformation in her husband's heart. Ezekiel 36:26 says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." We ask that You soften his heart, open his eyes to the harm he is causing, and lead him to repentance and change.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray for healing, deliverance, and restoration for this family. Amen.
