Dear God please help me get through tomorrow without any problems or concerns about my abilities to do my job at work. I am under a lot of stress and anxiety about taking over for another project manager engineer that will be leaving one of our shops up north while I have to maintain my projects and proposals at my shop. I need help understanding Microsoft Teams meeting because they may expect me to run and lead other company employees and difficult customers with work that I have not done before. I'm scared that I may lose my job and if I lose my job we will lose our home and my wife will want a divorce. I need to be able to keep my job so that my wife and I and our ### year old son have a good place to live. Please soften the hearts of my bosses and my coworkers and my customers. I may have embarrassed my son when he brought his new girlfriend home to meet us because of instead of shaking her hand I gave her a hug. I was a bit emotional because I was so happy for them because my son has not had a girlfriend before. I hope that they both can forgive me. I only meant for her to be welcome in our home. Please help my wife to drink less alcohol because after she has a few drinks of whiskey she gets really drunk and is so mean to me. I was an alcoholic for many years and I have to stop drinking alcohol and smoking pot. I had so many alcohol withdrawals and I will damage my liver if I drink alcohol anymore. I hope that I can get myself better so that I can sleep well at night without having hallucinations. I have not been able to sleep well and it is hard for me to concentrate at work. My back is getting better after having a cyst in my spine removed. I have sad and bad thoughts because I have been an alcoholic for many years. Please help me change and to be a good and better person and a better man and a better husband and a better employee and also to help our adult son and daughter with their needs. I'm getting too old to act and think this way. Please help me be responsible please help me and please forgive me for the way I have been acting. I don't want to shake and sweat and throw up any at work or at home. I'm sorry that I took advantage of having back surgeries by staying home longer than I should have and while I was trying to get my back surgeries set up I laid on my bed for a couple of months and drank lots of whiskey and beer and smoked pot and watched TV all day and night in our spare bedroom. When my wife drinks too much alcohol or is upset with me I stay in our other bedroom. I haven't slept with my wife in a long time. I tried last night but my wife was a bit drunk and very mean so I went back to the other room. I'm sorry that we don't get along with each other. I don't think she will ever like me anymore. And I am sorry that I have a hard time trying to like and love her again. Please help me keep my job and to be able to repair our relationship. Please let my son forgive me for the way I have been acting. He is doing better. He once overdosed on heroin and almost died. He spent ### months in a rehab home almost ### years ago and last year was taking phentinal and I had to drive to Los Angeles to get him on skid row after he had his cell phone taken from him and getting beat up by other drug addicts. Thank you God for helping our son. Please help me change. Please help our daughter find a better job and she is engaged with a good man who is a firefighter and paramedic. They want to get married and have children. I really need your help please help me. Please let me have a good night's sleep so that I can handle my job tomorrow. Please help me get my projects and proposals done correctly and on time. Please let my customer who takes care of the LACC forgive me for being off from work for so long and my employer did not help me get my projects done on time while I was off work. Help me and my wife get back together so we can both afford to retire in ###-### years together in good spirits and good health. I think we should start expecting our son to contribute by paying rent. Please help me have a good conversation with my son. He now has a job and should not be able to live here or anywhere else without paying his share for food and a place to live. I should have been a better father to him. Hopefully it's not too late. I feel really bad and sad and I pray that you will help us. Amen
 
We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer and seeking the Lord’s mercy, strength, and restoration for every area of your life. Your honesty and vulnerability before God are a powerful act of faith, and we stand with you, believing that He hears your cries and will answer according to His perfect will. The weight you carry—work stress, marital strain, addiction, fatherhood, and financial fears—is immense, but our God is greater. He is the God who heals the brokenhearted, binds up wounds, and restores what has been lost (Psalm 147:3). Let us bring each of these burdens before Him in prayer and seek His wisdom.

Father in Heaven, we thank You for this brother in Christ who has come to You in his time of need. We ask that You would grant him peace that surpasses all understanding as he faces the challenges of his job tomorrow. Lord, You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We rebuke the spirit of anxiety and doubt that seeks to paralyze him, and we declare that You will equip him for every task set before him. Whether it is leading meetings, managing projects, or navigating difficult conversations, we pray that You would fill him with Your wisdom, clarity, and confidence. Help him to remember that his identity is not in his performance at work, but in Christ, who has called him and will sustain him. We ask that You soften the hearts of his bosses, coworkers, and customers, that they would extend grace and patience as he steps into new responsibilities. Let Your favor rest upon him, and may he find strength in You, the One who never grows weary (Isaiah 40:29).

Lord, we also lift up his marriage before You. The pain and distance between him and his wife are evident, and we ask that You would begin a work of healing and reconciliation. We confess that alcohol has been a destructive force in their home, and we rebuke the enemy’s lies that tell them they cannot change or that their marriage is beyond repair. Your Word declares that with You, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). We pray for his wife, that You would break the chains of alcohol in her life and draw her into a deeper dependence on You. Soften her heart toward her husband, and help her to see the man You are shaping him to be. For our brother, we ask that You would restore his love and respect for his wife, not as a feeling, but as a choice rooted in obedience to You. Help him to lead his home with humility, patience, and selflessness, even when she is unkind. We declare that the two of them will no longer be divided by separate bedrooms or bitterness, but that they will be united in purpose, prayer, and intimacy. Lord, if there has been any unfaithfulness—emotionally, physically, or spiritually—we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Help them to rebuild trust through honesty, accountability, and Your grace.

We also bring their children before You, Lord. For their son, we thank You for the progress he has made in overcoming addiction. We pray that You would continue to guard his heart and mind, that he would walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for him. Give our brother wisdom as he navigates this new season of expecting his son to contribute financially. May this conversation be marked by love, respect, and mutual understanding. Help him to balance grace and accountability, remembering that while discipline is necessary, it must always be rooted in love (Hebrews 12:6). For their daughter and her fiancé, we ask for Your blessing on their marriage. May they build their relationship on the foundation of Christ, seeking Your will in all things. We pray that You would provide her with a job that aligns with Your purpose for her life, and that their future family would be a testimony to Your faithfulness.

Lord, we must address the bondage of addiction in this family. For our brother, we rebuke the spirit of alcoholism and substance abuse that has held him captive for so long. Your Word declares that those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). We pray for complete deliverance and healing from the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of addiction. Strengthen him to resist temptation, and surround him with godly accountability. Help him to find healthy outlets for stress and to replace old habits with new ones that honor You. We also ask that You would protect his mind from the lies of the enemy, including the shame and regret that seek to keep him trapped in cycles of self-condemnation. Remind him that in Christ, he is a new creation—the old has passed away, and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). We pray for restful sleep, free from hallucinations and anxiety, and for physical healing in his body, especially his back and liver.

Father, we also lift up the incident with his son and his girlfriend. While his intentions were good, we recognize that boundaries are important, especially in relationships between men and women who are not married. We pray that his son and his girlfriend would extend grace to him, understanding that his actions came from a place of love. Help him to grow in wisdom and discernment in how he interacts with others, especially women, so that he may reflect Christ’s holiness in all areas of his life. May his home be a place of warmth, safety, and godly example for his children and their future spouses.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would meet every financial need. We declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides (Genesis 22:14). Protect his job, and give him favor with his employers and clients. Help him to manage his projects with excellence, and provide for his family’s needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We pray for wisdom in budgeting, saving, and planning for the future, so that he and his wife can retire in peace and security. May their latter years be marked by joy, health, and a deepened relationship with You and with one another.

We close this prayer with confidence, knowing that You are at work even now. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the One who has overcome the world and who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father. May Your peace guard his heart and mind, and may Your presence go with him in every area of his life. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in him and his family. Amen.

Now, dear brother, we want to encourage you with a few truths from Scripture. First, remember that God is not surprised by your struggles. He knows every detail of your life, and He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). The same God who parted the Red Sea, raised Jesus from the dead, and turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the apostle is at work in your life. You are not defined by your past mistakes, your current struggles, or even your fears about the future. You are defined by Christ, and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).

Second, we urge you to seek help and accountability. Addiction thrives in isolation, but healing comes in community. Find a biblical, Christ-centered recovery group or a trusted pastor or counselor who can walk with you in this journey. James 5:16 tells us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another, that we may be healed. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Similarly, encourage your wife to seek help for her struggles with alcohol. Pray together, if possible, and invite godly mentors into your marriage to speak truth and hope into your relationship.

Third, take practical steps to honor God in your work and home life. At work, prioritize tasks, ask for help when needed, and trust that God will give you the strength to do what He has called you to do. At home, begin to rebuild trust through small acts of love and service. Even if your wife is not receptive at first, continue to show her Christ’s love through your actions. Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, unconditionally, and with a heart for her well-being. This is not easy, especially when there is hurt and resentment, but God will honor your obedience.

Finally, cling to the hope of the Gospel. Jesus Christ came to set the captives free, to heal the brokenhearted, and to give us a new life (Luke 4:18). You have confessed your sins and asked for forgiveness, and God is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). The journey ahead will not be easy, but it is worth it. Every step of obedience, every act of surrender, and every moment of dependence on God will lead you closer to the life He has called you to live—a life of freedom, purpose, and joy.

We will continue to pray for you, and we encourage you to press into God’s presence daily. Spend time in His Word, even if it is just a few verses each day. Let the truth of Scripture renew your mind and transform your heart. And remember, you are not alone. The body of Christ is here to support you, and our God is fighting for you. Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will lead you into a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
 
Dear friend,

We're here for you, standing with you in prayer and support. We understand the weight you're carrying, and we want you to know that you're not alone.

Firstly, we pray for your job tomorrow. We ask that God would grant you peace, wisdom, and confidence as you face your responsibilities. We trust that He will equip you for every task set before you, just as He promises in His Word (2 Timothy 2:13). We also lift up your bosses, coworkers, and customers, asking that God would soften their hearts towards you and extend grace as you navigate new challenges.

We're also interceding for your marriage. We believe that God can heal and restore what has been broken (Psalm 147:3). We pray for your wife, asking that God would break the chains of alcohol in her life and draw her into a deeper relationship with Him. We also pray for your own heart, that God would help you to lead your home with humility, patience, and selflessness, even when faced with unkindness.

We're grateful for the progress your son has made in overcoming addiction. We continue to pray for his freedom and ask that God would guide your conversations with him about contributing financially. We also pray for your daughter and her fiancé, asking that God would bless their marriage and provide her with a job that aligns with His purpose for her life.

Lastly, we pray for complete healing and deliverance from addiction in your own life. We declare that in Christ, you have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). We ask that God would strengthen you to resist temptation, surround you with godly accountability, and help you find healthy outlets for stress.

We believe that God is at work in your life, and we're confident that He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He will lead you into a future filled with hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

You are loved and prayed for.

In Christ,
[Your Name]
