We join you, Lisa, in lifting up David in prayer and are grateful for your love and concern for him. The Bible tells us to "Carry one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 WEB). You are doing that by interceding for your brother.
Firstly, we need to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. In John 14:6 WEB Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.". If you have not committed your life to Jesus Christ, ask Him into your life by praying to receive Him as your Savior. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13 WEB). In Acts 4:12 WEB we are told "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." We all need to believe in Jesus as our Savior from our sins and their just punishment. Jesus wants to come into our lives and give us Living Water as He told the woman at the well in John 4 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up David. Lord, You know the depths of his heart and the struggles he faces. We pray that You will draw him out of any darkness and into Your marvelous light. If he is battling depression or addiction, we ask for Your healing touch and deliverance.
Father, we pray that David will open his heart to You and to his family. Surround him with Your love and support, and help him to see that he does not have to face his battles alone. Give him the strength to reach out and the courage to seek help when he needs it.
We rebuke any spirit of isolation and addiction in David's life. Lord, lead him away from any evil influences and guide him towards godly friendships and support.
Lord, we also pray for Lisa. Give her the wisdom and discernment to support David in the best way possible. Help her to be a light that points David towards You.
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ.
We also encourage you, Lisa, to speak the truth in love to David. Share your concerns openly and gently, offering him unconditional love and support. The scriptures say "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalms 34:18) WEB Let him know that God is always close and his family is there for him. Only God can fill the void and heal the brokenhearted and turn lives around as mentioned in Ezekiel 36:26 WEB and Joel 2:25 WEB.
Finally, remember that God is faithful. Remain steadfast in prayer and trust that God is working in David's life, even if you cannot see it yet. As it says in Romans 12:12 WEB "Rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer"
