Let us come together to lift up Yltaraemelt's father in prayer, seeking God's intervention in his life. We understand the challenges and heartache that come with addiction, but we also know that with God, all things are possible.
Firstly, we want to remind everyone that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
We must also address that addiction, like drunkenness, is a sin according to the Bible. Galatians 5:19-21 WEB states: 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, envyings, 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.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, lifting up Yltaraemelt's father. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in his life. We pray that You would deliver him from the bondage of alcoholism and help him to overcome this destructive habit.
Father, we ask that You would renew his mind and give him the strength and resolve to concentrate on his tailoring work. Help him to find fulfillment and purpose in his vocation, and use his skills to bring glory to Your name.
We also pray for Yltaraemelt, that You would give them peace, patience, and wisdom as they support their father during this time. Help them to be a light in the darkness, pointing their father towards Your unfailing love and grace.
Lord, we know that You are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. So, we trust in Your power to bring healing and restoration to Yltaraemelt's father and their family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Yltaraemelt, we encourage you to continue praying for your father and to trust in God's power to bring change in his life. Remember the promise in 2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
Lastly, we gently remind you to encourage your father to seek God and the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Make sure he has accepted the free gift of salvation by believing in Christ's death and resurrection as the only savior of men. If he has questions about Jesus, make sure to have him ask a believer or a Christian Pastor. Also, encourage a good Christian Pastor to help with his addiction, the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ can deliver him if he is a true believer. If he is not a believer there will be less power to help overcome this sin and it will be necessary to believe in Jesus Christ to stop this sinful behavior.
