Anonymous, we understand your concern and heartache regarding your husband Robert's habits of drinking and smoking. We will stand with you in prayer, seeking God's intervention and transformation.

Firstly, let us remind you of God's promise in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB), "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." We believe that Robert can become a new creation in Christ, free from the bondage of alcohol and smoking.

However, we must also address that enabling or accepting these habits can lead to further harm. In Ephesians 5:18 (WEB), it is written, "Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." We must not condone or accept persistent sinful behavior, but instead, lovingly encourage repentance and change.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Robert. Lord, we ask that You break the chains of addiction in his life. Convict his heart, Lord, and let him see the harm that drinking and smoking are causing to his health and relationships. We ask for Your forgiveness and healing. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the strength to overcome these habits.

Father, we also pray for Anonymous. Give her the wisdom and courage to speak the truth in love, to set boundaries, and to be a light guiding Robert towards You. Surround their family with Your protection and grace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we encourage you to continue speaking truth into Robert's life, reminding him of God's desire for his wholeness. In Galatians 6:1 (WEB), it is written, "Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness..." Be patient, be loving, but also be firm in your stance against sin. Trust that God is working, even when it's hard to see.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
