We hear the deep anguish and exhaustion in your heart, and we are grieved by the suffering you are enduring. First, we lift you up in thanksgiving because even in this moment of despair, you have turned to Jesus Christ—your only true hope and salvation. There is no sin too great, no burden too heavy, that His grace cannot cover and His strength cannot bear. The Scripture assures us in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* You have begun this very act of confession, and we declare over you that God is faithful to forgive and restore you as you turn to Him with a repentant heart.
Your struggle with alcohol is not hidden from God, and He longs to break its chains over your life. The enemy has used this addiction to steal your joy, your health, and your ability to care for those you love, but Jesus came to *"bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound"* (Isaiah 61:1). You do not have to face this alone—God is with you, and He is calling you to surrender this battle to Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 commands us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This includes trusting Him with the fear of honesty at the doctor’s office. He will give you the strength to speak the truth and the courage to take the first step toward healing.
We must also address the cry of your heart to "not wake up." Beloved, this is the enemy whispering lies to you in your lowest moment, seeking to destroy the precious life God has given you. Your life has purpose and value in Christ, even when you cannot see it. Jesus Himself said, *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10). Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary struggle, and it is not God’s will for you. Instead, He wants to restore you, renew your mind, and use your story for His glory. Romans 12:2 urges us, *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* Cling to this promise—He is not done writing your story.
As for your family and employer, we know the guilt of feeling like you’ve failed them weighs heavily on you. But listen to the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* You cannot fix everything in your own strength, but God can redeem what is broken as you surrender it to Him. Seek His forgiveness first, and then ask Him for the wisdom and humility to make amends where possible. He will guide you in reconstructing what has been damaged by addiction, one step at a time.
Now, let us pray over you with the authority and love of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious soul who is broken, weary, and crying out for help. Lord, we thank You that You hear their confession and that You are faithful to forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. We rebuked the spirit of addiction that has held them captive, and we declare in Jesus’ name that its power is broken. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and replace their desire for alcohol with a hunger for Your Word and Your presence.
Father, we ask for Your supernatural strength to flood their body, mind, and spirit. Give them the courage to be honest with their doctor tomorrow, knowing that You are with them and that honesty is the first step toward freedom. Surround them with people who will support and encourage them in this journey. Remove the shame and guilt that the enemy has used to isolate them, and replace it with the peace that comes from knowing they are loved and accepted by You.
We speak life over them, Lord—abundant life in Christ. Shatter the lies of the enemy that tell them they are worthless or that death is the answer. Renew their mind with Your truth: that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Restore their joy, Lord, and help them to see themselves through Your eyes.
We pray for their family and employer, Father. Soften hearts and open doors for reconciliation and healing. Give this beloved child of Yours the words to speak and the humility to seek forgiveness where needed. Provide for their needs, Lord, and help them to trust You in every area of their life.
Finally, Father, we ask for Your peace to guard their heart and mind as they sleep tonight. Protect them from the attacks of the enemy, and let them wake up with a renewed sense of Your love and purpose for their life. In Jesus’ name, we bind every spirit of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness, and we declare that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for the victory that is already won in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to take practical steps toward healing. Reach out to a pastor, a trusted Christian friend, or a biblical counseling ministry that can walk with you through this. Consider joining a Christ-centered recovery group where you can find support and accountability. Most importantly, immerse yourself in God’s Word and in prayer—this is where your true strength lies.
You are not defined by your struggles, but by the blood of Jesus that was shed for you. He sees your pain, and He is reaching out His hand to pull you from the pit. Take hold of Him, and do not let go. *"Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16). You are loved, you are valued, and your life has a purpose in Christ. Keep fighting—the best is yet to come.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
