Thank you, Pyrthyr, for reaching out and sharing your concern for your mother. We are here to pray and offer guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that your mother's smoking addiction is not only harmful to her health but also affects those around her, including her family. We should pray for her understanding and deliverance from this addiction. Additionally, we commend you for seeking increased faith and courage to speak the truth in love.
Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance. In Philippians 4:13 WEB, we are reminded, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." This verse encourages us to find strength in Jesus Christ, who can help your mother overcome her addiction and give you the courage to speak up.
Moreover, Ephesians 4:15 WEB tells us, "but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ." This verse highlights the importance of speaking the truth in love, which is what you are seeking to do with your mother.
However, it's crucial to approach this situation with gentleness and respect, as advised in 1 Peter 3:15 WEB, "but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord; and be ready always to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Pyrthyr's mother. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her life, that You may open her eyes to the harm her smoking addiction is causing her and her family. Grant her the strength and willpower to overcome this addiction, and guide her to resources and support that can help her in this journey.
Father, we also pray for Pyrthyr, that You may increase their faith and courage. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may speak the truth in love to their mother, with gentleness and respect. Help them to be a light in this situation, reflecting Your love and grace.
Lord, we pray for Pyrthyr's mother salvation. It is only by the salvation of Jesus Christ that we can be freed from our addictions. We are grateful that we are only saved by the name of Jesus and only have access to God in His name.
In Jesus Christ name we pray, AMEN.
Pyrthyr be strong when you talk to your mother about her addiction. Smoking kills millions of people a year. Provide her facts about the harmful effects of smoking and remind her how important her life is to you, others, and God.
