Let us come together in prayer and counsel for you, ###, and your fiancé, ###. Firstly, we want to acknowledge your love and commitment to each other and to your children. It is evident that you both share a strong bond and that ### has been a great father and provider.
However, we must address a few things according to biblical principles. First, it is important to note that living together before marriage and having children can complicate a relationship and lead to sin. The Bible teaches us that sexual intimacy and children are blessings within the context of marriage. God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.
For it is written, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." Hebrews 13:4 WEB.
Marriage is not specifically mentioned in your request so we might address this. It is also not mentioned that ### is a believer.
And we must add that drinking alcohol to drunkenness is a sin. The Bible warns us, "Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit." Ephesians 5:18 WEB.
###'s struggle with alcohol addiction is a serious issue, and we commend him for seeking help through a treatment program. We encourage you both to continue seeking God's help in overcoming this addiction. We are Godly sorrowful that your children have to suffer due to these mistakes.
Regarding ###'s current situation, we pray that God's will be done in his life and in your family. We pray that God will grant him a swift release from jail and that he will not be sent away from his family. We pray that ### will find true freedom from his addiction and that he will be the Godly man, husband, and father that God has called him to be.
Let us pray:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and grace to be poured out on ### and ###'s life and in their family. Lord, we pray that You will grant ### a swift release from jail and that he will not be separated from his family. We pray that You will deliver him from his addiction to alcohol and that You will help him to become the Godly man, husband, and father that You have called him to be.
We pray for ###, that You will give her strength, wisdom, and patience as she supports ### and cares for their children. We pray that You will bless their family and that You will guide them in Your will for their lives. We pray that they will come to salvation in Jesus Christ if they have not already.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
###, we encourage you to continue praying for ### and for your family. Trust in God's will for your lives and seek His guidance in all that you do. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:5 WEB.
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12 WEB.
