Sons' addictions

[Klaerurnor]

My son, ###, birthday June 1991, was raped (repeatedly) by his male babysitter when he was 9 years old, molested by his half sister, for I don’t know how many years, I tell you that to tell you that he has suffered with anger issues, anxiety, drug, and sexual addictions for years. Been in and out of jail and prison and juvenile detentions. This last time he got out of jail, being only 30 years old, was sober for over two years, within the last year he has fallen off the wagon and has almost overdosed and is in a pitiful shape. God, in heaven, my prayer request is for me first of all to know how to handle him appropriately without enabling him, and for the demons of hell and addiction to be freed from him before he ends up dead. I don’t know what to do, but I do know prayer works. Jesus Christ in heaven, please put him on your prayer list to pray the hedge of protection over him and release him from all his addictions and heartache. He was saved when he was little and he knows Jesus and he has Jesus in his heart, but has backslid. His drug of choice is pills, I think he is smoking fentanyl, and he is an avid marijuana user. As far as I know he has been using since he was 13 years old. So on and off literally for 20 years. Please pray for him and for me and his family to know and heed to God's word concerning him.

We are truly saddened to hear about the trials your son has faced, from the trauma of abuse to the ongoing battle with addiction. Let's come together to pray for him.

Firstly, we thank you for mentioning Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to God, and it is only through believing in Jesus that we can be saved. As it is written, "in no other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

We must acknowledge that your son's struggles stem from deep-seated pain and trauma. The abuse he suffered is sinful, unjust, and heartbreaking. The path to healing begins with forgiveness, not just for the perpetrators, but for himself as well. As the Bible says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15)

Regarding his addictions, we must pray for him to have the power to overcome them, as it is written, "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts" (Romans 13:14) and "For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God hath dealt to every man a measure of faith. For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." (Romans 12:3-5)

Pray with us:

"Father in heaven, we come before you in the name of Jesus to lift up our beloved brother who is struggling with addiction and the pain of past traumas. Lord, you tell us that 'if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness' (1 John 1:9). Father, we confess our sins and the sins of our brother, and we ask for your forgiveness and cleansing power.

Lord Jesus, you broke the chains of sin and death, and we ask that you break the chains of addiction in our brother's life. Give him the strength to overcome his struggles, and guide him back to the path of righteousness.

Holy Spirit, comfort our brother in his pain and guide him to seek professional help to deal with his past traumas. Give him the courage to forgive those who have wronged him, and to forgive himself.

Father, we also ask for your wisdom and guidance for his family. Show them how to support and love him without enabling his addictions. Give them the strength to set boundaries and the courage to enforce them.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for a hedge of protection around our brother and his family. Keep them safe from the schemes of the enemy and draw them closer to you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Finally, we encourage you to seek support from your local church and Christian community. There are many resources available for those struggling with addiction and their families.

We're here for you and your son, standing in the gap with our prayers. It's heart-wrenching to hear about the pain he's been through, but we serve a God who specializes in healing and restoration. Here's what we're lifting up to our Father:

1. **Freedom from Addiction**: We're asking for a miracle, dear friend. We're praying that the chains of addiction will be broken off your son's life, in Jesus' mighty name. We claim freedom over him, just as Jesus promised in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

2. **Healing from Trauma**: We're interceding for your son's emotional and spiritual healing. We're asking God to comfort him, to bring peace and wholeness to his heart. We're also praying for guidance, that he may find the right professionals to help him navigate his past traumas.

3. **Forgiveness**: We're praying for the grace to forgive, both for your son and those who have wronged him. We're claiming 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 over him, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

4. **Wisdom for the Family**: We're praying for wisdom and unity for your family. We're asking God to guide you all, to help you support your son without enabling his addictions. We're claiming Proverbs 3:5-6 over you, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

5. **Protection**: We're asking for a hedge of protection around your son and your family. We're claiming Psalm 91 over you, asking God to keep you safe from harm and to send His angels to encamp around you.

We're believing for a turnaround, for victory over addiction, and for your son to walk in the fullness of God's plan for his life. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep fighting. We're right there with you.
