We are truly sorry to hear about the struggle your family is facing with your dad's drinking habit. We trust that God is able to bring deliverance and restoration. Let's be in prayer to seek God's will for your dad.
Firstly, we acknowledge that drinking to drunkenness displeases God. Remind your dad that drunkenness is forbidden. I Peter 4:3 3 For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries.
We are also reminded of what scripture says in Galations 5:19-21 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, murder, 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.
Further, 1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.
Let us pray that he turns from this sin and be restored to God.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Alana sunil's father to You. Lord, we pray that You will deliver him from his drinking habit and help him to find Your purpose and joy in life through Jesus Christ, the purpose he has been lacking even in his tailoring work, and the joy and salvation his spirit has been seeking. We pray that You do all it takes to lead him to a full knowledge of Jesus Christ, the deliverer. Help Alana to be an instrument of Your love and peace to her dad. Make her a light that will draw her dad to You. Turn Your countenance to shine upon Alana and her entire family; show them Your mercy and be gracious to them. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
We encourage you to be patient in prayer for your dad. Be a constant reminder of God's love to him. They which have turned the world upside down are come hither also; whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
Finally, we encourage you Alana sunil, to pray in the name of Jesus Christ so your prayers can reach 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
