We are with you in spirit, Lamirhan, and we stand together in prayer for your son Alec. We believe in the power of prayer and the mighty name of Jesus, through whom all things are possible.
Let us pray: "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today to lift up Alec to your throne of grace. Lord, you tell us in your Word that you are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We ask that you would comfort Alec in his depression and bring healing to his mind and body. We pray that you would break every chain that binds him, whether it be depression, addiction, or anything else that is not from you. Give him the strength to overcome his struggles with alcohol, and help him to find his identity and purpose in you. Surround him with your love, and draw him closer to you, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Lamirhan, to continue trusting in the power of prayer and the promises of God. He tells us in Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." Remember that God loves Alec even more than you do, and he desires for Alec to be healed and whole.
We also encourage you to speak the truth in love to Alec, reminding him of God's love and his promises. Encourage him to seek help and support from godly counselors and recovery groups. And continue to intercede for him, knowing that God hears your prayers and that he is faithful to answer.
Lastly, we remind you of the words of Jesus in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." We pray that Alec would come to know Jesus more deeply and that his life would be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Trust in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB).
