We understand your concern for your son, Eldeld, and we are here to pray and offer guidance according to God’s Word.
Firstly, we encourage you to remember that God has promised peace to those who trust in Him. As it is written in Philippians 4:7, "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Regarding your son Demitri's struggles with drinking and depression, we recognize these as significant challenges. It’s important to know that God desires to heal and restore. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
We also understand your hope for Demitri to find God again. We know that God is always seeking the lost and wishes for all to come to repentance and faith. As 2 Peter 3:9 states, "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Moreover, we believe it is crucial to pray for Demitri to find his way back to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As Acts 4:12 teaches, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Demitri to you, asking for Your divine intervention in his life. Lord, please help him to overcome his struggles with drinking and depression. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guide him back to a relationship with You, that he may know the joy and hope that come from being in Your presence. We ask that you grant the desires of his mother’s heart, that Demitri may find his sons and bring them up in the way of the Lord. Amen."
We encourage you, Eldeld, to continue praying fervently for Demitri, trusting that God hears your prayers and is able to bring about change. May God comfort and strengthen you in this time of need.
