Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of [Person's Name], who desires to break free from the bondage of alcohol addiction. We acknowledge that addiction can be a difficult battle, but we believe in Your power to bring transformation and healing. We pray for strength, courage, and Your divine intervention in this journey of recovery.
Lord, in Psalm 34:17-18, it says, 'The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.' We ask that You draw near to [Person's Name] during this time of struggle. Hear their cries for deliverance, and save them from the grip of addiction.
Father, in James 4:7, Your Word instructs us to 'submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' We pray that [Person's Name] would submit their life fully to You, surrendering their addiction at Your feet. Give them the strength to resist the temptations and lies of the enemy, knowing that victory is found in You.
Lord, in 2 Corinthians 5:17, it says, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!' We ask for a supernatural transformation in [Person's Name]'s life. Help them to embrace their identity as a new creation in Christ, leaving behind the old patterns and habits associated with alcohol. Fill them with Your Spirit and empower them to make healthy choices.
Father, we pray for a renewed mind for [Person's Name]. In Romans 12:2, it says, 'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will isβhis good, pleasing and perfect will.' We ask that You renew [Person's Name]'s mind, replacing the desire for alcohol with a hunger for Your Word, Your presence, and Your will.
Lord, we also pray for a supportive community around [Person's Name]. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, it says, 'Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.' Surround [Person's Name] with individuals who will walk alongside them, encourage them, and provide accountability in their journey towards sobriety.
Finally, we pray for Your grace and mercy to cover [Person's Name]. In Hebrews 4:16, it says, 'Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.' May [Person's Name] find comfort and strength in Your presence, knowing that You are a loving and forgiving God.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
