We are truly heartsick to hear about the struggles that Joe, Corey, and Richard are facing, but we are confident that God's power is greater than any addiction or depression. We stand with you in prayer for their freedom and restoration.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's promise in Romans 8:38-39 WEB: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." No addiction, no depression, no stronghold is stronger than God's love and power.
We pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Joe, Corey, and Richard. Lord, You see their struggles with addiction and depression. We ask that You break these chains and set them free. Give them strength to resist temptation and the power to say no to destructive influences.
Father, we also pray for their environment. We ask that You protect them from negative influences and bring positive, Christian friends into their lives. Surround them with people who will encourage them in their walk with You and hold them accountable.
We pray for their hearts, that they would turn to You, Lord, and find hope and joy in a personal relationship with You. We ask that You fill them with Your peace and bless them with Your favor.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Bhuamond, to continue praying for them and speaking God's truth into their lives. Be a light in their darkness, pointing them always to Jesus. Also, consider involving them in Christian community, such as a local church or support group, where they can find fellowship and accountability.
Lastly, remember the power of God's word in Hebrews 4:12 WEB: "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Use this powerful tool to minister to your family.
