We are so glad you have taken the first steps to reaching out for prayer and support for your emotional sobriety. Your victory is in Christ Jesus. It is so important to be sober minded, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ and making no provision for the flesh.
Firstly, let us address the importance of calling on the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we are able to come before the throne of God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, John 14:6 WEB. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now, let us turn to the Word of God for guidance and encouragement. Here are some relevant scriptures:
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. Galatians 5:22-23 WEB.
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 WEB.
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in their pursuit of emotional sobriety. We thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit that enables us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.
We pray for deliverance from any emotional bondage. May You be the healer of emotional distress and the source of Your everlasting joy. Help this individual to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, in its lusts. We pray that they will be filled with the fruits of the Spirit, especially self-control and patience toward others.
We rebuke any influence of the enemy that seeks to destroy or hinder emotional well-being. We ask for spiritual eyes to be opened and the ability to discern Your truth, guarding against any temptations that may lead to emotional instability and praying against any lust of the flesh that would make provision for the flesh. Help them to remember that You are always with them, and You will never leave them nor forsake them.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who sets us free from all bondage and gives us the victory. In Jesus' name.
