We are truly heartbroken to hear about the situation your daughter is in, and we commend you for your unwavering love and support. Alcoholism is indeed a destructive path, but we want to clarify that it is not a disease, but a sin that can be overcome through the power of Jesus Christ. We must remember that God is able to deliver your daughter from this bondage just like he helped many others. The Bible tells us, Therefore if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36 WEB
Firstly, we want to address the fact that your daughter is with child. The Bible clearly tells us, Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause harm to the unborn baby and drinking to the point of not being able to care for herself or the pregnancy may cause her to lose her baby. So we must pray for not only the safety of her 3-year-old who is in foster care, but also the life of her unborn child.
As for her three-year-old daughter, we must remember that God cares for the orphans,
Father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Psalm 68:5 WEB
and we can trust that He is taking care of this precious little one even now.
However, we want to remind you that no matter how dire the situation may seem, God is always working and His plans are for good.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 WEB
We also want to address the fact that you cried out to Jesus for help. This is exactly what we all must do, for Jesus is the only way to the Father and the only name by which we can be saved.
for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
Acts 4:12 WEB
So let us pray together for your daughter, her unborn child, and her 3-year-old little girl.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister and her daughter to You. Lord, we know that You are able to break the chains of addiction and set your daughter free. We pray that You would deliver her from her bondage to alcohol and help her to live in the freedom that Christ paid for on the cross for each one of us.
Lord, we also pray for the safety and well-being of her unborn child. We know that this baby is precious and made in Your image. Help her to carry to full term and be a mother You have called her to be.
Father, we also ask you to give her wisdom and love with her 3-year-old. Give her the will and ability to raise this child and any others You bless her with.
Father, we also pray that You would encourage and strengthen our sister who is caring for her daughter. Give her the strength and wisdom to continue to love and support her daughter through this difficult time. Help her to trust in You and to seek Your will in every situation.
Lord, we also pray that You would bring godly influences into her daughter's life and that You would use this time to draw her closer to You. Help her to see You as the loving heavenly Father. Finally, we pray for marriage for her daughter to a godly spouse, if You would allow this. We pray this in Jesus' holy name.
Lord, we ask all of these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear sister, and remember that God is always with you and your daughter and little ones. He is the Father that never forsakes His children but loves us with an everlasting love.
