Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Bothokari and her son, June Ivan. We thank you for the gift of Christmas and for the opportunity to bring our burdens and concerns to you in prayer.
Lord, Bothokari has shown love and care for her son, providing him with a good education and nurturing him throughout his life. However, she is deeply disappointed to see him suffering from alcoholism and possibly drug addiction. We lift up June Ivan to you, knowing that nothing is impossible for you.
We pray, Lord, that you would intervene in June Ivan's life. Break the chains of addiction that hold him captive and bring healing and restoration to his mind, body, and spirit. Surround him with your love and grace, drawing him closer to you and leading him on a path of recovery and transformation.
We also lift up June Ivan's friends in prayer, knowing that their influence may have an impact on his choices. We ask that you would touch their hearts as well, guiding them towards positive and life-giving choices. May they be instruments of your love and support for June Ivan, encouraging him to seek help and find freedom from addiction.
Lord, we believe in the power of prayer, and we trust that you hear our cries. We ask for your divine intervention and guidance in this situation. Strengthen Bothokari with your peace and comfort as she waits for her son's transformation. Grant her wisdom and discernment in how to support and encourage him.
We thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and for the assurance that you are always with us. May your blessings be upon Bothokari, June Ivan, and their entire family. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
