Servant of All
Please everyone take this prayer with You and ask the Holy Spirit to overpower Pablo's flesh and mind that keeps him enslaved to drugs! I met him yesterday on our way to the Career Source center and he is 49 days sober after exiting jail. He knows the word like a Pastor would and yet he has had a lifelong battle with alcohol, drugs and even the hideous crack cocaine. He has a wife and two young children who need him. I immediately prayed to the Lord and whined (in my head as I am hearing Pablo's story) "Lord why do You send me every poor and sick person when I cannot help them?"- but of course I know that prayers to our Lord God Almighty are truly the greatest currency us humans can muster, right?
Holy Spirit please flood Pablo's mind, heart and body with Your help to give him resistance to the cravings that he has fallen to over and over again. Please hold him up to stay sober by Your help. He has failed before but Lord if You just say the word he can win and stay sober this time for good. He wants to, but as the Apostle Paul spoke of the battle with the "wretched body", we have empathy for the killer cravings of an addiction. This time Lord put an end to Satan's ammunition to destroy this man who is Your child by helping him stand by Your strong right arm Lord! Pick him up and carry him to sobriety Lord. Let him have endless resources and sober friends like the Celebrate Recovery groups and give this man who knows Your word and delights in it a ministry instead of the madness of slavery to these drugs. Hear the prayers of the righteous and do much good for Pablo and his family Lord! Let THIS TIME be different and the sobriety stay in Jesus' name! Let him get a job immediately and maybe a representative payee to keep his money and pay his bills and remove more of the temptation. If this was my addiction Lord I would be so hopeless, I can't even give up caffeine! Have mercy on Pablo and pull him out of the drug pit for good this time! Amen! 2:07 pm 2/11/7
