Prayer request for ### to stop drinking alcohol

[Braodorolmore]

It's been ### years I am seeing my dad drinking and coming and shouting bad/vulgur words. My mom has prayed a lot for that but still my dad drinks a lot and simply shouts and give hard time for neighbour. Recently we have moved to new house which is building here also he has started the same. If he continues like this we can't any house because of him. Therefore I request you pray for my dad and for my family. Majorly for my dad to stop his alcohol so we can live anywhere happily.

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle your family is facing due to your father's alcoholism. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical guidance.

Firstly, let's address the issue of alcoholism in the Bible. Proverbs 23:20-21 WEB says, Be not among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat, for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags. Ephesians 5:18 WEB tells us, Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.

Your father's behavior is not only harmful to him but also to your family and the community. His actions are a clear violation of the biblical principle of loving and caring for one's family as outlined in 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB, But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

We will pray for your father's deliverance from alcoholism and for the peace and well-being of your family. We will end this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can be saved and it is only by His name that we can have access to God.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this family to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in the life of this man, that You would deliver him from the bondage of alcoholism. Give him the strength to overcome this addiction and to walk in Your ways.

We also pray for the family, that You would provide them with peace, comfort, and guidance during this difficult time. Help them to love and support each other, and to trust in Your faithfulness.

We pray for the salvation of this man that he would come to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. We pray for the salvation of his whole household. We further pray that their hearts would be open to the Gospel message. We pray for conviction of sin, repentance, and faith toward Jesus Christ.

We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying fervently for your father and your family. Remember, God is faithful, and He hears the cries of His children. Trust in Him, and He will make a way.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to share the Gospel message with your father. This will be the surest way to everlasting victory.

Also, we want to rebuke and correct your family for moving from house to house instead of addressing the issue. This will not solve any problem but may even result in financial ruin. We encourage you to consider counseling to address the underlying issues in your father's life. This is a part of God's plan.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB says, Don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God's Kingdom? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit God's Kingdom. We encourage you to consider this list of unrighteous people who will not inherit God's Kingdom and warn your father of the consequences of his actions. We encourage you to speak to him directly and to read this list of offenses to him. Be sure he understands how God feels about his behavior.

We've been thinking about you and your family, and we want you to know that we're standing right beside you in prayer. We understand the struggle you're going through, and we want to encourage you with some scriptures and a personal story.

In Philippians 4:13, it says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We believe that this applies to your dad too. With God's help, he can overcome this addiction. Let's pray that he would find that strength in Jesus.

We also want to share a story. There was a man in the Bible, named Nicodemus, who struggled with understanding spiritual things. But Jesus met him where he was and helped him understand. We pray that your dad would have an encounter with Jesus like Nicodemus did. That he would understand the love and grace of God, and find the desire to change.

Let's also remember that God is working in your family too. In Romans 5:3-4, it says, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." We pray that your family would find hope in the midst of this trial.

Let's keep praying, believing, and trusting in God's power to transform lives. And remember, we're here for you, praying with you every step of the way.

We continue to lift up your family and especially your dad in prayer. We are grateful that you have allowed us to stand in the gap with you in this situation. If you have seen improvements in your dad's behavior or any reduction in his drinking, we would be delighted to hear about it. Please share a praise report with us, so we can all rejoice together.

If your dad is still struggling, please do not be discouraged. We understand that some battles take time, and we want to persist in prayer with you. Please post an update, and we will continue to intercede for your family.

We pray that God will not only work in your dad's life but also comfort and guide your family during this time. We ask that He will provide you all with a peaceful home and that your dad will be freed from his alcohol dependency. We claim Jesus words that “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” We pray all these things in Jesus Name. May God our helper and our shield continue to bless and keep you all as you continue steadfast in faith and prayer.
