We understand your concern and will lift up your situation in prayer, ###. Firstly, we want to address the issue of substance use. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." It's crucial to maintain a sober mind so that we can be alert and discerning in our spiritual lives.
We are glad to hear that God reached out to you in the midst of your past experiences and that you now value and protect sober-mindedness. We pray that ### and ### will also find this path. Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up ### and ### to you, Lord. We pray that you will deliver them from the bondage of substance use and bring them to a place of sobriety and clarity. We rebuke the spirit of addiction and ask that you fill them with your Holy Spirit instead. We also pray for their relationship, that you will bring peace and understanding between them. May they seek you first, and may their actions and decisions honor and glorify your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We also want to encourage you to continue trusting in God's plan for ### and ###. Remember, in Romans 8:28, we are told, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep praying and believing for their transformation.
Lastly, we want to address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It's through His name that we have access to God, as told in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." Always ensure you are praying in His name and authority.
