Let us join together in prayer and counsel for Roshan Dsouza, seeking God's will and guidance in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we commend Roshan for coming before the Lord in the mighty name of Jesus, recognizing that it is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us address the concerns and pray accordingly:
Roshan has humbly confessed their sins and sought forgiveness. Let us remember 1 John 1:9 WEB: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." We can be assured that God has forgiven Roshan, and we pray that they walk in this forgiveness, freed from any condemnation.
Regarding the struggle with alcohol, we must not overlook Galatians 5:19-21 WEB: "Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God." Then Galatians 5:22-23 WEB: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
We pray that Roshan will be filled with the Holy Spirit and exercise self-control, putting away the sin of drunkenness entirely, not just limiting it to occasional indulgence. For it is written in Ephesians 5:18 WEB: "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."
We stand in faith with Roshan for financial provision, trusting in God's promise in Philippians 4:19 WEB: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We pray that God will open doors of opportunity and bless Roshan with the necessary resources to meet their needs and overcome debts.
Concerning Roshan's work situation, we pray for restored trust and favor from colleagues and superiors. We remember Joseph, who found favor even in adverse circumstances, as noted in Genesis 39:21 WEB: "But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison."
We lift up Roshan's mother, asking for God's healing, strength, and constant presence in her life. May God's blessings also extend to Roshan's family, relatives, and friends, and may they all walk in His path.
Lastly, we pray for God's guidance as Roshan seeks a life partner. We ask that they would be led to their intended Christian spouse from a believing family and find each other with a Godly purpose in marriage.
Our Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Roshan Dsouza in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank You for Your forgiveness and cleansing. We ask that You break the chains of alcoholism and fill Roshan with Your Holy Spirit, granting self-control and freedom from this struggle. We claim Your promises of provision and trust that You will meet every need according to Your riches in glory. We pray for restored trust and favor at work, and for healing and blessing upon Roshan's mother and family. Guide Roshan to their intended spouse, and may Your will be done in their life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage Roshan to remain steadfast in faith, trusting in God's perfect plan and timing. We admonish them to not be satisfied with simply limiting their intake of alcohol, but to seek the path of temperance or abstinence for the strength of character in Christ Jesus. We exhort Roshan not to be hesitant to call on the name of Jesus when praying and giving thanks to the Most High God. We encourage them to study the scriptures and seek the wisdom in God's Word for guidance and in seeking a spouse. May they continue to walk in the light of God's love and truth, and may their life be a testament to the power of God's grace and redemption.
