We are saddened to hear about the struggles you are facing with your son and your financial situation. Let us come together and bring your requests before the Lord, seeking His help and guidance.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of your son's alcoholism. It is important to remember that God calls us to be sober-minded and self-controlled. As it is written in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." We will pray for your son, that God may deliver him from this bondage and bring him to a place of repentance and restoration.
Regarding your financial struggles, we want to encourage you to trust in God's provision. In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus says, "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." We will pray that God will open doors of opportunities for you and that your shop will prosper.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister who is in need. Lord, we ask that You intervene in her son's life. Break the chains of alcoholism that bind him and bring him to a place of repentance and restoration. Help him to become the son that You have created him to be.
Lord, we also ask that You provide for our sister's financial needs. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. We ask that You open doors of opportunities for her and bless her shop so that it may prosper. Help her to trust in You and Your provision.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You bring peace to her family. Comfort her as a single mother and help her to be a light to her children. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you or anyone in your family has not yet accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. It is only through Him that we can be saved and have eternal life.
Be encouraged, dear sister, and know that we are standing with you in prayer. Trust in God and His promises, for He is faithful.
