We understand the deep concern and love you have for your father, Ailwyn. Let us all come together and lift him up in prayer, seeking God's will for his life.
Firstly, let's remember what the Word of God says in Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." We believe that God can perform a miracle in your father's life and change his heart, just as He promises in this verse.
However, we must also address the urgency of your father's spiritual state. As you mentioned, his physical health is declining, and it is crucial that he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" There is no other way to eternity with God except through faith in Jesus Christ.
Let us pray for your father:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Ailwyn's father to You. Lord, You know the struggles he has faced with alcoholism and the pain it has caused his family. But Lord, we know that nothing is too difficult for You. We ask that You have mercy on him and grant him repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Soften his heart, Lord, that he may receive the free gift of salvation.
We also pray for healing in his body, Father. If it is Your will, restore his health and deliver him from alcoholism. Give Ailwyn and their family the strength and patience to continue loving and praying for him.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
Ailwyn, continue to hold on to hope and keep praying for your father. Remember, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). Keep fighting this battle on your knees, and trust God for the outcome.
