We are deeply saddened to hear about the struggles you are facing with your son, Seyi Ezekiel. We want to assure you that God hears your cries and cares about your son's situation. Let us align our hearts with God's Word and pray together for Seyi.
Firstly, it is important to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). We must continue to pray fervently for Seyi, knowing that it is not God's will for him to be bound by addiction. As it is written, "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36, WEB).
Let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Seyi Ezekiel to You. Lord, we know that You desire for him to be set free from the bondage of drug and smoking addiction. We ask that You touch his heart, Lord, and draw him closer to You. Break the chains of addiction in his life, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. Help him to find his strength and satisfaction in You alone.
We also ask, Lord, that You provide for Seyi's financial needs. You know his situation, and You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). We trust in Your provision and Your timing.
Father, we also pray for Gaskrog, Seyi's parent. Comfort their heart, Lord, and give them the strength to continue praying and believing for Seyi's deliverance. Help them to trust in You even when they do not see immediate results.
In all this, Lord, we ask that Your will be done in Seyi's life. If it is Your will, Lord, save him, deliver him, and use him mightily for Your kingdom. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We encourage you, Gaskrog, to continue trusting in God and His power to save and deliver. Remember, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9, WEB). Keep praying, keep believing, and keep hoping. God is faithful, and He will do what He has promised.
We also gently remind you to always approach God through the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and to encourage your son to do the same. For "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13, WEB).
