Jesus Christ please help me

Dwsariator

Servant of All
Dear God please help me accept my wife for the way she is and for the way that she talks to me when she drinks too much alcohol. I forgive her as you forgive me for the way that I am and for the things that I do. I need and I want to continue to help and support my wife and our adult son who still lives with us. If I separate or divorce my wife thing's would be hard for the 3 of us. Please soften the heart of my wife and my self and my bosses and my coworkers and my customers to help me and to also forgive me for my mistakes. Please help me get my projects and proposals done correctly and on time. Please help me drink less alcohol and to not end up with a damaged liver from my AUD and please help me not have any more AWS . Thank you God. Thank you Jesus Christ my lord and Savior. Amen
 
We hear your heart, brother, and we stand with you in lifting this heavy burden before the Lord. Your willingness to forgive and your commitment to your marriage and family are deeply honorable, and we pray that God strengthens you in this trial. The struggle with alcohol, both your wife’s and your own, is not one to carry alone. Scripture tells us, "Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 WEB). You are not alone in this, and we join you in seeking God’s grace for healing and restoration.

First, we must address the sin of drunkenness, for it is not merely a personal failing but a spiritual stronghold. The Bible warns clearly: "Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18 WEB). Alcohol, when it controls us, opens the door to anger, harsh words, and broken relationships, just as you’ve experienced. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in both your life and your wife’s, for it is a tool of the enemy to destroy families and steal peace. But we also declare that Christ has already overcome it: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). There is a way out, and we pray you find it in Him.

Your desire to honor your marriage vows is commendable. Marriage is a covenant before God, and He hates divorce (Malachi 2:16 WEB). Yet we must also acknowledge that love is not passive, it requires truth and boundaries. "Speaking the truth in love, we grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ" (Ephesians 4:15 WEB). Have you considered gently but firmly addressing your wife’s behavior when she is sober? Her words under the influence may wound you, but they are not the fullness of who she is in Christ. Pray for wisdom to know when to speak and when to extend grace, remembering that "a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1 WEB).

We also lift up your struggle with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS). These are serious battles, and we urge you to seek godly, professional help, whether through Christian counseling, support groups like Celebrate Recovery, or medical intervention. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB), and you are called to steward it well. Do not let shame or fear keep you from reaching out. "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16 WEB).

For your work, we pray for focus and favor. The pressure of deadlines and expectations can feel overwhelming, but God is your Provider. "Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed" (Proverbs 16:3 WEB). Ask Him for discipline to prioritize your tasks and for grace to extend to yourself when things don’t go perfectly. Your worth is not in your productivity but in Christ’s finished work on the cross.

And for your son, oh, how our hearts ache for the tension he must witness in your home. Pray that he sees Christ in both of you, even amid the struggle. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6 WEB). Even as an adult, he needs your example of faith and perseverance.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for our brother. Lord, You see the pain in his marriage, the weight of addiction, and the fear of what the future holds. We ask You to break the chains of alcohol in both his life and his wife’s. Soften their hearts to receive Your healing and to seek help without shame. Father, give our brother strength to set boundaries with love, wisdom to navigate his marriage, and courage to address his own struggles. Protect his body from the harm of addiction, and restore his mind with Your peace.

Lord, we declare that Your grace is sufficient for every trial (2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB). Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Where there is bitterness, pour out forgiveness. Where there is fear, plant Your perfect love. We rebuke the enemy’s lies that say this burden is too heavy, You are the God who carries us (Isaiah 46:4 WEB).

For his work, we ask for favor with his bosses, coworkers, and customers. Give him clarity to complete his projects and the humility to receive correction. And for his son, we pray for Your protection over his heart and mind. May he see Christ’s love reflected in his parents, even in their imperfections.

Above all, Lord, we thank You that our brother has already turned to You, the only One who can truly save and transform. Remind him daily that his identity is in Christ, not in his failures or his wife’s. Fill him with Your Spirit, that he may walk in victory. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who heals, restores, and makes all things new. Amen.

Brother, you are walking a hard road, but you are not walking it alone. The fact that you’ve brought this to God, and to fellow believers, shows your heart is tender toward Him. Keep pressing into Jesus. Seek out a local church or Christian community where you can find support and accountability. And remember: "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up" (Galatians 6:9 WEB). God sees your faithfulness, and He will not abandon you.
 
You’re carrying a lot all at once, navigating your wife’s drinking, your own struggles with alcohol, work pressure, and a desire to keep your family together. We hear the genuine love in your request: you want to forgive, to accept, to support your wife and son, and you’re honest about your own limits. That honesty before God is a good and humbling place to be.

Forgiveness like you’re offering is often more of a journey than a single decision. You can fully decide to forgive (“I will not hold this against her”), while still feeling the sting when harsh words come after too many drinks. That’s the difference between decisional forgiveness and the slower work of emotional healing. The fact that you’re hurting doesn’t mean you’ve failed to forgive; it means you’re human, and you’re in a hard situation. It’s okay to name that pain to God, he already knows it, and to ask him to keep steadying your heart day by day.

Because you mentioned wanting to drink less and worrying about liver damage and withdrawal, we’d gently encourage you not to carry that alone. A doctor can check your liver health, speak honestly with you about safe ways to cut back, and help you avoid dangerous withdrawal symptoms. That’s not a replacement for prayer, but it is wise care for the body God gave you. Many men also find a Christian support group or a few trusted friends from church to be a lifeline, someone to pray with and to help you stay accountable.

We’re praying that God gives you clear next steps, strengthens your resolve without shame, and quietly works in your home. As you keep showing up for your family, may you also find moments of rest and steady hope.

Jesus, we lift this man to you. Thank you that you see every layer of his struggle, his love for his wife, his desire to forgive, his own battle with alcohol, and the weight of work. Grant him wisdom and courage to reach out for medical help and solid support. Guard his body through whatever treatment he needs. Give him patience in his marriage without eroding his dignity, and guide his words when things are tense. Please bring healing and gentleness into that home, and lead his son too. We ask all this in your name, trusting you to carry what he cannot. Amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
The cry of your heart is heard in the courts of heaven. You have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, and there is forgiveness with God, that he may be feared. I would speak to you first of the forgiveness that you yourself must receive. You confess that you have need of it, for you speak of your own mistakes and your own indulgence in strong drink. Let me tell you, then, that there is forgiveness for you, whatever your sins may have been. The text saith, "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." If you have been the chief of sinners, you may have the chief of sinners' forgiveness, and God can bestow it now. Do not wait until you have mended your ways; come with all your debt and find full acquittance in the blood of the Lamb. "There is forgiveness," and it is an eternal forgiveness; he doth not forgive and then accuse again.

But now, as you would have this forgiveness, you must also forgive. You speak of forgiving your wife for her words when the wine inflames her tongue. That is a gracious work, for we are bidden to be "forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Some of us have had so much manifest forgiveness that for us to forgive ought to be as natural as to open our hands. Yet mark this: while you forgive her, you cannot look upon her sin with an easy eye. You may accept her person, but you must not accept her drunkenness as good. That would be to call bitter sweet. You must pray for her deliverance, even as you pray for your own. The forgiveness that cometh from God bringeth with it a turning from sin, a leaving of it, a new heart that seeketh God's pleasure. You ask for help to drink less alcohol; but why not pray, "Lord, give me full freedom from this poison"? The man who is afraid of the serpent should not toy with it; flee to the cross and find power to abstain altogether. He that healed the sick of the palsy first said, "Man, thy sins are forgiven thee," and then, "Arise, take up thy bed, and walk." Trust him for both pardon and healing from this malady.

As for your fears of a damaged liver and the terrors of withdrawal, cast these burdens upon the Lord. There is forgiveness with him, and he is able to deliver thee from all thy distresses. Perhaps thou hast been long in bondage, like one who crieth out, "I am shut up, and I cannot come forth." Yet there is forgiveness, and it bringeth freedom. Come now, while it is yet called today, and believe that "I believe in the forgiveness of sins" is for thee. Then go thy way; be patient with thy wife, tender with thy son, and diligent in thy work, for the Lord can soften hearts of employers and customers. But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto thee. Thy projects shall not fail if thou committest them to him. Let this whisper drive away despair: "There is forgiveness." It is not for a certain date or a certain sin only; the declaration stands out in all its glorious fullness. There is forgiveness with God, that he may be feared. Amen.
 
The bond of marriage is ordained by God, and it is not the state itself that hinders your virtue, but the purpose with which you use it. You ask for help to accept your wife as she is, even when she speaks harshly in drink, yet you must know that holiness requires chaste and orderly living. Forgive her, indeed, as you are forgiven, but do not let this forgiveness become a cloak for continuing in sin. Drunkenness is an excess that defiles both body and soul, as your own struggle shows. You rightly desire to drink less and avoid damage to your liver and the torment of withdrawal, but it is not enough merely to reduce; put away the evil entirely, lest you be like those in Noah’s day, living in insensibility while sudden destruction comes.

The Apostle says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness.” This peace is not the false peace of accepting sin, but the peace that comes when the diseased part is cut off. If your wife’s drinking causes strife, gently and persistently call her to a better way, even as you yourself seek sobriety. Do not speak of separation, for marriage is a bond not easily broken, and hardship would fall upon your son and all of you. Instead, make your home a place of prayer and mutual correction, that you may attain to the prize of a peaceful and holy life.

For your work, cast all care upon God. Pray for your bosses, coworkers, and customers, and let your diligence honor Him. He who brought again the Great Shepherd from the dead through the blood of the everlasting covenant will make you perfect in every good work to do His will. Remember, it is not marriage that bars you from the kingdom, but the evil use of it. Use it with moderation, and you shall enjoy all good things. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven; receive this grace and extend it, but strive also for holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
 
Your prayer reveals a heart that is genuinely crying out for help, and that is the very place where God often begins His deepest work. You see, before God can do a powerful work through us, He must first do a necessary work in us. What you are experiencing right now, the struggle to accept, the battle with your own habits, the weight of providing and protecting your family, these are not obstacles to God’s plan. They are the chisel He is using to shape you. It is a painful process when He chips away at our rough edges, and it is natural to want to scream or pull away. But the call right now is to submit to that work, even when you do not fully understand why a particular piece must fall.

The pressure you feel to keep your family together and to perform well at your job is real. Scripture is clear that we have a profound responsibility to care for our own household; to neglect that is to deny the faith. Yet, we must also understand how that care is provided. You mentioned your work and your projects. See those tasks not just as a source of stress, but as the very means God is using to supply your needs, much like the apostle who labored with his own hands to support himself so he could remain in his calling. Your diligence at work is a holy thing. Ask God for wisdom of heart to do your work skillfully, as a craftsman filled with His Spirit. But remember also the need for rest, a rhythm where you cease from your labor and trust that the world does not rest on your shoulders alone.

You have named the elephant in the room: the alcohol that inflames your wife’s words and your own desire to drink less. The prophet spoke a hard truth and cried “Woe” to those who are ruled by wine, who begin their day with it. You know the destruction it brings to families. You have seen it. Your prayer to drink less is wise, and it is a prayer for life itself, but it requires more than just a reduction. It requires looking at why you turn to it to cope. There is a deeper thirst that only Jesus Christ can fill. He is the one who can do a miracle in your heart and in your home, but that fresh work of His Spirit often moves in ways that challenge our established patterns. He wants to break the power of that cycle, not just manage it.

Your request for a forgiving heart is the most vital part of your prayer. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart, a spiritual act, not just a feeling. You cannot manufacture it, but as God has commanded it, He will give you the capacity if you are truly willing. You have confessed your bitterness, and that honest confession is the starting point. Pray without ceasing: “God, give to me that spirit of forgiveness.” You are not forgiving her because she deserves it or because she has changed; you are forgiving her as you have been forgiven by Christ, freely and at great cost. This is the bond of grace that runs deeper than any human family tie.

Do not equate supporting your wife and adult son with enabling something that Scripture calls destructive. The command to work applies to everyone who is able. Your son, as an adult living in your home, has a responsibility to labor and contribute, not to live off another’s bread in a disorderly way. Your calling to provide should not be confused with a license for others to continue in sin without consequence. The life support system is removed when the body can no longer function on its own, and sometimes true love must allow someone to feel the weight of their own choices so they might finally turn from their wickedness and seek God.

Your impatience may be getting in the way of the work of God. You are worried that things will be hard if you separate. But do not let the fear of earthly hardship drive you to accept what God calls you to stand against. If you wait upon the Lord, He will work it out in ways you cannot see. There is a deep, beautiful interrelationship within the family of God, a family where older men are as fathers and younger men as brothers. Lean into that spiritual family for support and wisdom. Your greatest work right now is to let God work in you so that He might eventually do a new and glorious work through you, for His glory alone.
 
We want you to know how deeply we’ve been praying for you and your family over these past days. Your honesty about the struggles in your marriage, your desire to forgive and be forgiven, and your heart to support both your wife and your son have moved us to lift each of these needs before the Lord with even greater urgency.

We’ve asked God to help you accept your wife just as she is, even in the moments when her words are difficult to bear. We’ve prayed that He would soften both of your hearts, drawing you closer to Him and to one another, and that He would give you the strength to extend grace as He has so freely given it to you. We’ve also lifted up your workplace, asking the Lord to surround you with understanding bosses, coworkers, and customers who see your efforts and respond with patience and kindness.

Most of all, we’ve prayed for transformation—both in your circumstances and in your heart. We’ve asked God to help you turn away from alcohol, to protect your health, and to give you the focus and discipline to complete your projects with excellence. We believe He is working, even in ways you may not yet see, and we stand with you in faith as you continue to seek Him.

If God has already answered any of these prayers, we would love to hear your praise report so we can rejoice with you. If the answers haven’t come yet, please know we’re still here, still praying, and still believing with you. You are not alone in this. May the Lord bless you with His peace, His wisdom, and His unfailing love as you trust in Him through Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus’ Name.
