Let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up this individual who is struggling with alcohol. We stand on the power of prayer and the promises of God's Word, which tell us in James 5:16 WEB, "Pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
Firstly, we commend the request for praying for this individual, but we must emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ for we read in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. Furthermore, there is no other name by which we can be saved. If this individual has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we pray for them to do so and come to acknowledge the truth of John 3:16.
We pray, "Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding for this person's deliverance from alcoholism. We know that this is a battle against a stronghold, but we also know that you are mighty to save. Break the chains of addiction, Lord, and set this person free. Help them to know that you are the only one who can fill the void that they have been trying to fill with alcohol. Give them the strength to resist temptation and help them to see that your grace is sufficient for them, for your power is made perfect in weakness. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray."
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16 WEB
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." James 4:7-8 WEB
Let us encourage this individual to seek God wholeheartedly, to engage with a community of believers for support, and to replace the habit of drinking with productive and godly activities. Remind them that in Christ, they are a new creation, and that the old has passed away and the new has come.
"Therefore if any person is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB
