We join with you, Celiereanmond, in lifting up your granddaughter before the throne of grace, trusting that our Lord Jesus Christ will heal and restore her in every way.
Firstly, we acknowledge that your granddaughter's struggles with alcohol and her brokenness are the result of sin entering the world. God said to the first father Adam, But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. We see the result of that disobedience in our world today. Yet, God in His mercy and grace has provided a way of escape through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. We pray that your granddaughter will turn to Jesus, for He is the only way to salvation and freedom from the bondage of sin and addiction. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
We pray that she will come to know the love of God in Christ Jesus, which surpasses knowledge, that she may be filled with all the fullness of God. We ask that the Holy Spirit would pour out God's love into her heart, that she may know the love of God in her life and be strengthened in her inner being.
We also pray that she will forgive those who have neglected and hurt her, just as Jesus taught us to pray, Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. We ask that God would heal her from the pain of her past, and that He would break the chains of self-hatred that have bound her. We pray that she would know her true worth and value in Christ Jesus, for she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that she would love herself in a healthy, God-honoring way.
We ask that God would surround her with believers in Christ who love and support her, encouraging her in her faith and helping her to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We pray that she would have a life of peace, and that she would be able to process life's challenges in a healthy, God-honoring manner.
Finally, we pray for her father and their relationship. We ask that God would convict him of any sin and neglect, and that he would be reconciled to his daughter and to God. We pray that he would become a godly father, loving and caring for his daughter as God intended.
Lord Jesus, we lift up this precious young woman before Your throne of grace. We ask that You would set her free from the bondage of alcohol and heal her from the pain of her past. We ask that You would restore her faith in God and help her to know Your love in a deep and personal way. We ask that You would surround her with godly believers who love and support her, and that You would give her a life of peace and a healthy love for herself. We ask that You would restore her relationship with her father and bring healing and reconciliation to their family. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
