We understand your heart's desire for your son Jace Blackburn and his girlfriend Alissa. We join you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and transformation in their lives.
Firstly, let's remember what God's Word says about salvation and deliverance:
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9 WEB)
"Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, pleading for the souls of Jace Blackburn and Alissa. Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself to them in a powerful and tangible way, that they may understand their need for salvation and surrender their lives to You. Break the chains of addiction, cleanse them from all unrighteousness, and give them a new heart and a new spirit, in accordance with Your promises.
Lord, we also ask that You instill in Jace an overwhelming desire to seek professional help and go to treatment. Guide him every step of the way, and let Your holy angels minister to him and Alissa, encouraging and strengthening them in their journey towards sobriety and salvation.
We rebuke the spirit of addiction and every stronghold that has held them captive. In the name of Jesus, we declare freedom, healing, and restoration over their lives. We also pray that their relationship may glorify You, Lord, and that they may seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, with the goal of a godly marriage if it is Your will.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for Rhowen, who has brought this request before us. Comfort and encourage them, and help them to trust completely in Your love and faithfulness.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Rhowen, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for Jace and Alissa, and to trust that God is at work in their lives. Remember, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective." (James 5:16 WEB)
Additionally, we want to highlight the importance of praying in the name of Jesus, as it is the only name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Continue to lift up your petitions to God in Jesus' name, trusting in His saving power and love.
