We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your family is facing with your brother's alcoholism and suicidal thoughts. This is a heavy burden, and it's commendable that your parents have been trying to help him. Remember, God is faithful, and He cares for your family and your brother.
Firstly, we need to lift up your brother in prayer, asking God to deliver him from the spirit of alcoholism and suicidal thoughts. Alcoholism is a sin according to the Bible. Galatians 5:19-21 WEB "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 in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother who is battling alcoholism and suicidal thoughts. We pray that You would deliver him from this bondage and restore his mind and body. Give him the strength to overcome this addiction and the courage to seek help.
We also lift up his parents, who are in their mid-80s and struggling to support him. Guide them to the right resources and people who can assist in getting him admitted to a mental health facility. Provide the finances needed for his treatment, and give them the strength and wisdom to navigate this challenging time.
Lord, we ask that You would intervene today. Open the right doors and bring the right people into their lives to provide the help they need. Give the siblings wisdom and unity as they support their brother and parents through this trial.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
It's crucial to remember that God is the one who heals and restores. Put your trust in Him, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. We encourage you to stand firm in your faith and believe that God will work everything out for the good of those who love Him, according to His purpose Romans 8:28 WEB.
Your brother needs professional help, and it's essential to reach out to local mental health services, a pastor, or trusted friends who can provide guidance and support. Don't try to handle this situation alone. God places people in our lives to help us in times of need. Remember God's promise, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" Hebrews 13:5 WEB
Lastly, continue to pray and declare God's promises over your brother and your family. Trust that God is working behind the scenes, and have faith that He will bring about a breakthrough.
