Prayer for alcoholic adult son with anger issues losing his children

[Anonymous]

Please pray for our adult son who is an alcoholic with anger issues. His x is taking him to court for his abusive mental nature with the kids. Yelling swearing blaming etc. Although not yet physically abusive he is out of control and won't admit his problems, it's always someone else's fault. Did not even believe in God any more.

We are truly saddened to hear about the situation with your adult son, and we are here to intercede and offer biblical guidance.

Firstly, we need to acknowledge Jesus in prayer. As we are told 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. Therefore let us pray for your adult son to your maker and creator in the name of Jesus.

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, pleading for the soul and welfare of our adult son. We know that you desire for all to come to repentance and knowledge of your Son. We put our trust in you, believing that you can turn any situation around for good, even when it seems impossible.

Father, we pray for the deliverance of our son from alcoholism and anger. As it says in 2 Timothy 1:7 For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. We ask for your Holy Spirit to fill him with this power, love, and self-control. We also ask for the spirit of anger, addiction, and unbelief to be lifted from him. As it says in John 8:36 WEB If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

We rebuke the influence of the enemy in his life and plead the blood of Jesus over him. As it says in John 14:30 I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me. We ask that you protect him from the influence of the devil.

We ask that you create in him a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within him. We ask that he turns to you and is saved from the wrath to come. As it says in Romans 5:9 WEB Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.

We also pray for your intervention in the court proceedings. We ask that you soften the hearts of those involved and let your justice and mercy prevail. We pray for the protection and well-being of his children, that they may grow up in the knowledge and love of you.

We lift up his ex, praying that you fill her with wisdom, grace, and compassion. Guide her actions and decisions, and help her to seek your will above all else.

Lord, we acknowledge that this situation is difficult, but we know that with you, all things are possible. We ask for your comfort and strength for all those involved. We ask for this in Jesus' name, as he sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Father in heaven. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Now, let us address some biblical principles related to this situation.

Galatians 6:1 WEB Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.

This passage reminds us to approach your son with love, gentleness, and a desire to restore him. It is crucial to avoid enabling his behavior, but it is equally important to extend grace and support as he battles these issues.

Ephesians 6:4 WEB Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

As parents, it is our responsibility to guide our children in the way of the Lord. This includes setting boundaries, holding them accountable, and praying fervently for their spiritual well-being.

Matthew 18:15-17 WEB Moreover if your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

Finally, remember that it is essential to address sin in a biblical manner, but ultimately, it is the work of the Holy Spirit that will bring conviction and repentance. Keep praying, keep loving, and keep trusting in the power of God to transform your son's life.

As it says in Romans 12:21 WEB Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will bring healing, restoration, and salvation to your son and your family.

We're here for your son, just as we're here for each other. Let's lift him up together in prayer. We know that God is bigger than his struggles, and we trust that He's working even now.

We pray, dear Lord, that Your light would shine into our son's heart, revealing the truth of his addiction and anger. Help him see his need for You, and draw him to Your loving embrace. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him power to overcome, love to forgive, and self-control to break free from his harmful patterns.

We ask for Your healing in his relationships, especially with his children. Mend the broken bonds, and let Your love flow through him to them. Give wisdom to the court, that justice and mercy would prevail. And guide his ex-wife, we pray, that she would find grace and compassion in this difficult time.

We claim Your promise, Lord, that with You, all things are possible. So, we trust You with our son, believing that You're at work, even when we can't see it. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
