We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you and your brother are facing, and we are here to pray and offer biblical encouragement for your situation. First, we want to remind you that you are not alone, for God is always with you. As it says in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahweh your God goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."
In times of isolation and hardship, it's essential to cry out to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If you have not already, consider believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. See John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him."
Regarding your brother's addiction, it's crucial to understand that healing and restoration come from God. Pray for his deliverance and strength to overcome this struggle. As it says in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "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."
For the pain and loss, you've experienced, remember that God has a purpose and plan for each of you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Trust in Him to restore the years that the locusts have eaten, as mentioned in Joel 2:25.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Arourtaerrad and his brother. Lord, they feel alone and isolated, but we know that You are always with them. Please reveal Your presence to them and give them the strength and courage to face each day.
Lord, we pray for Arourtaerrad's brother, that You would deliver him from his addiction and give him the power to overcome. Help Arourtaerrad to support his brother in a way that is healthy and beneficial for both of them.
Father, we pray for Your healing and restoration in their lives. Help them to trust in You and Your plan for their future. Help them to be looking for godly spouses and marriages that honor God. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
