We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle your daughter is facing with alcoholism and smoking. Let us come together and lift her up in prayer, seeking God's intervention and guidance.
Firstly, let us remember what the Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 (WEB), "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up the daughter of this concerned parent. Lord, we know that You are a God of miracles and that nothing is impossible for You. We ask that You touch her heart and help her to overcome her addiction to alcohol and smoking. Give her the strength to resist temptation and the courage to seek help.
Lord, we also pray for the parent. Grant them wisdom and guidance as they support their daughter through this difficult time. Help them to be a source of love, encouragement, and accountability.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke the spirit of addiction and proclaim freedom and healing over her life. We ask that You fill her with Your Holy Spirit and guide her in the path of righteousness.
We also pray that if she does not already know You, Lord, that You would reveal Yourself to her. May she come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ and find hope and purpose in Him.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continue to support your daughter in love and patience. It is important to remember that you cannot force her to change, but you can be a steady presence, praying for her and encouraging her towards a life of sobriety and faith.
Also, it is crucial to seek professional help if needed. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 11:14 (WEB), "Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory." Do not hesitate to reach out to counselors, support groups, or medical professionals who can provide additional assistance.
Lastly, always remember the power of prayer and the promises of God. Keep trusting and believing, for with God, all things are possible.
