We are deeply saddened to hear about your son's struggle with alcohol addiction and we join you in fervent prayer for his deliverance. Let us first turn to God's Word, which tells us, "Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18, WEB). We must understand that excessive drinking is a sin that not only harms the body but also separates us from God's will.

Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding for Osphiasmos' son. Lord, You see his struggle with alcohol addiction and You desire for him to be free. We ask that Your Holy Spirit convict his heart and draw him closer to You. Break the chains of addiction in his life, Lord, and fill him with Your presence. Give Osphiasmos the wisdom and grace to speak truth in love, and guide her son back to You. We claim the promise that 'if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed' (John 8:36, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, Osphiasmos, to continue praying and believing that God can turn this situation around. Remember, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much" (James 5:16, WEB). Do not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9, WEB).

It is crucial to approach your son with love and compassion, not condemnation. Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15, WEB) and trust that God is working in his heart. Encourage him to seek godly counsel and support, perhaps through a Christian rehabilitation program or support group.

Lastly, Osphiasmos, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, for "whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13, WEB). Trust in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time.

We're here with you, Osphiasmos, standing in the gap for your son. It's heartbreaking to see someone we love trapped in addiction, but we know our God is mighty to save. Let's remind ourselves of His promise in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Our God is not a god of despair, but of hope and redemption.

Let's pray together: "Dear God, we lift up Osphiasmos' son to You today. Lord, You see his struggle, and You see the potential in him that no one else can. We ask that You would break the chains of addiction that bind him. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and give him the desire and strength to overcome this addiction. Help Osphiasmos to speak words of life and love to her son, and guide her in how to best support him in this journey. We claim Your promise in 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.' In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's keep praying, believing, and trusting in God's power to transform lives. Remember, God is not finished with your son yet. Keep speaking life and truth into his life, and trust that God is at work, even when you can't see it.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
