Jesus Christ please help me

[Dwsariator]

Dear God please forgive me when I get home from work and I lay on my bed and drink alcohol again to help me stop shaking. I have not begun to sweat yet and I hope that does not happen. And I hope that my wife doesn't get mad at me and I hope that she doesn't drink alcohol today so that she doesn't say mean things to me. Please soften the hearts of my bosses and my coworkers and my customers and especially my wife. Please help me get my projects and proposals done correctly and on time. Please help to stop being a alcoholic. I hope that you can help my liver to not be damaged. Please let me win the lottery so that I don't have to go to work every day. I'm really getting tired of having to make so much money to support my wife and our adult kid's. Please make my life a lot easier. I just can't wait to get back home to drink some beer and have a Jim beam with Sprite and watch TV. I feel like leaving work but I still have a few more hours to wait here until I can go home. Please forgive me for doing what I do. Please help me be a better person and a better husband and a better employee and a better dad. I'm sorry

We hear your cry for help, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting you up in prayer and seeking God’s mercy, healing, and transformation in your life. You are not alone in this struggle, and we believe that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Let us first address the weight of what you’ve shared with honesty, love, and the truth of Scripture.

You have named Jesus Christ in your request, and we are grateful for that, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through faith in Him that we find true forgiveness, strength, and the power to overcome sin. Your acknowledgment of Him is the first step toward the freedom and restoration He offers. But we must also speak plainly about the areas where your life is not yet fully aligned with His will.

First, your dependence on alcohol to cope with shaking, stress, and the challenges of life has become a stronghold in your life. The Bible warns us clearly: "Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). Alcohol is not a solution; it is a snare that dulls your mind, weakens your body, and distances you from the peace that God offers. The shaking you fear is likely a physical sign of your body’s dependence on alcohol, and if left unchecked, it will only grow worse. We must rebuke this bondage in the name of Jesus and declare that He has come to set the captives free (Luke 4:18). You do not have to live this way. The Lord is calling you to surrender this struggle to Him and trust in His strength rather than the temporary relief of alcohol.

We also must address the bitterness and resentment you carry toward your wife and family. You speak of hoping your wife does not drink so she won’t say mean things to you, and you express exhaustion at the responsibility of providing for your family. These feelings reveal a heart that is weary and possibly hardened. Scripture tells us, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her" (Ephesians 5:25). Your role as a husband is not merely to provide financially but to love sacrificially, to lead with humility, and to honor your wife as a fellow heir of the grace of life (1 Peter 3:7). The tension in your marriage will not be resolved by winning the lottery or escaping your responsibilities. It will only be healed through repentance, humility, and a renewed commitment to love as Christ loves. We must rebuke the spirit of resentment and selfishness that seeks to divide your family. Instead, we pray for reconciliation, unity, and a fresh outpouring of God’s love in your home.

Your desire to win the lottery so you can avoid work is also a concern. While we understand the exhaustion you feel, Scripture teaches us that work is a gift from God and a means by which we provide for our families and serve others. "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23). The Lord does not promise us a life free from labor, but He does promise to strengthen us for the work He calls us to do. We must rebuke the spirit of escapism that seeks to avoid responsibility. Instead, we pray for a renewed sense of purpose in your work and the strength to fulfill your duties with integrity and joy.

Now, let us turn to the Lord in prayer, lifting up every area of your life to Him:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for our brother who is struggling under the weight of addiction, resentment, and exhaustion. Lord, we thank You that he has called on the name of Jesus, for there is power in that name to break every chain. We ask You to forgive him for turning to alcohol instead of to You in his moments of weakness. Cleanse his heart, Lord, and renew his mind. Break the hold that alcohol has over his body and spirit, and replace it with a hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We declare that our brother is not a slave to alcohol, but a child of God, called to walk in freedom (Galatians 5:1). Strengthen his body, Lord, and heal any damage that has been done to his liver or other organs. Give him the courage to seek help, whether through medical support, Christian counseling, or a recovery program grounded in Your Word. Surround him with believers who will walk alongside him, encourage him, and hold him accountable.

Lord, we also lift up his marriage to You. Soften both his heart and his wife’s heart. Help them to communicate with love, patience, and humility. Where there has been bitterness or resentment, bring healing and restoration. Teach them to lean on You together, to pray for one another, and to build their marriage on the foundation of Christ. We pray for their adult children as well, that they would see the love of Christ reflected in their parents and be drawn to You.

Father, we ask You to renew our brother’s strength for his work. Give him wisdom to complete his projects and proposals with excellence. Help him to see his job as an opportunity to serve You and others, rather than a burden. Provide for his family’s needs, Lord, and give him contentment in the blessings You have already given him. We rebuke the spirit of discontentment and pray that he would find his joy and satisfaction in You alone.

Lord, we know that true change begins with repentance and a surrender to Your will. Help our brother to turn away from the things that are harming him and to run toward the life You have called him to live. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May he become the husband, father, and employee You have called him to be, reflecting Your love and grace in every area of his life.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would draw near to him in this moment. Let him feel Your presence and Your peace, even as he waits to go home. Remind him that he is not alone, that You are with him, and that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). Give him the strength to resist temptation today and every day, and lead him into the abundant life You have promised.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name that brings salvation, healing, and deliverance. Amen.

Brother, we want you to know that your struggle is not in vain. The Lord sees your pain, your exhaustion, and your desire to change. He is not angry with you; He is waiting with open arms to embrace you and lead you into freedom. But freedom requires action on your part. You cannot continue to drink and expect your life to change. You must take steps to break free from this bondage.

First, we encourage you to confess your struggle to someone you trust, a pastor, a Christian friend, or a support group like Celebrate Recovery or Alcoholics Anonymous. James 5:16 tells us, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed." You do not have to carry this burden alone. There is strength in community, and there is healing in accountability.

Second, consider seeking professional help. If your body is dependent on alcohol, quitting suddenly can be dangerous, even life-threatening. A doctor can help you detox safely and provide resources for long-term recovery. Your health is a gift from God, and you are called to steward it well.

Third, replace the habit of drinking with godly habits. When you feel the urge to drink, turn to prayer, Scripture, or worship music instead. Memorize verses like 1 Corinthians 10:13: "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." The Lord always provides a way out, you just have to take it.

Finally, we encourage you to rebuild your marriage on the foundation of Christ. Start by praying for your wife daily, not just for her behavior to change, but for her heart to be drawn closer to the Lord. Serve her in small ways, even when you don’t feel like it. Show her the love of Christ through your actions. If there is bitterness or unforgiveness in your heart, ask the Lord to help you release it. Colossians 3:13 says, "Bear with one another, and forgive each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."

You are not defined by your struggles. You are defined by who you are in Christ, a beloved child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called to walk in newness of life. The road to recovery will not be easy, but it is worth it. The Lord is with you, and we are standing with you in prayer. Take the first step today, and trust that God will meet you where you are and lead you into the life He has prepared for you.

We hear how tired and trapped you sound, the longing for relief, and the way that relief keeps leading you back to the very thing that’s hurting you. You’ve named the struggle honestly, and we don’t minimize how heavy that is. The shaking you already feel, and the dread of sweating and more withdrawal, are real alarm bells from your body. Please, alongside our prayers, see a doctor soon, not to scare you, but to keep you safe. Withdrawal can be dangerous, and a physician can also help you assess what’s happening with your liver. That’s not a lack of faith; it’s letting God use the practical help He’s already placed in your path.

You’ve said you want to stop being an alcoholic, and we want to stand with you in that. But you can’t do it alone. We’ve watched others walk out of addiction into real freedom by stepping into a recovery group where they could be honest without shame. It doesn’t come all at once, but it does come when you’re surrounded by people who understand the grip of that first drink. We’d also encourage you, when the chaos at home calms a little, to share what you’re facing with a pastor or a wise friend who can walk this with you.

It’s understandable that you’re worn down by the pressure to provide for your wife and adult kids. That kind of weight, on top of everything else, would make anyone cry out for an easier life. But no lottery will untangle what’s draining you; instead, small faithful steps toward help, medical care, honest community, a real plan for sobriety, can slowly make the load bearable. You are not unforgivable; God sees your sorrow and meets you in it.

Let’s pray: Father, we bring this man to You now, in the name of Jesus. Hold him steady in the moments when the craving screams loudest. Give him the courage to pick up the phone and make a doctor’s appointment, and to reach out for the kind of help that has pulled so many out of addiction. Protect his body and his mind. We ask for mercy on his liver and for wisdom for the professionals he sees. Soften his wife’s heart, and give her a desire for her own healing too. Surround him with people who will not judge but will walk beside him. Lift the crushing weight he carries, and show him the small, sure steps toward freedom. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Dwsariator]

I just want to hide and pretend that my customers will stop asking me about prices for their projects. Please let them leave me alone. I can't handle this work anymore. I really want to go back home and lay on my bed and drink alcohol until I pass out and to not work anymore. I'm really scared of losing my mind and my job. Please make things easier for me so that I don't have to work anymore. I'm really tired of having to work so much it's overwhelming and I feel like just leaving work now

 

[bobr69]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

It is a mercy that you cry out, even in your misery, for you are not yet past feeling. The soul that groans under its bondage is not utterly given over. You speak of hoping you will not sweat, hoping your wife will not be angry, hoping your liver is not damaged, but there is a hope that puts all other hopes to silence. There is forgiveness with God, that He may be feared. You have asked for it, and He will not despise a broken and a contrite heart. I hear the shaking of your soul no less than the shaking of your body, and I point you to the only hand that can steady both. You have been drinking poison to quiet the poison, and the cords of that bondage grow tighter every hour. Yet the mighty Christ can snap them in a moment. He who stilled the sea can command peace into your raging appetites.

But I must speak plainly. You dream of winning the lottery and escaping your daily cross, but that is a snare and a delusion. God will not pamper your idleness nor bribe your obedience with ease. He means to work something deeper in you than the mere relief of circumstances. He has plowers at work upon some men, tearing up the whole nature, breaking every clod to powder, that they might bear fruit unto holiness. Your weariness with work, your weariness with home, your running to the bottle, these are the symptoms of a deeper sickness, the soul crying out of its own emptiness. Do not think that a full purse will heal a broken spirit. The ease of the flesh is often the famine of the soul. You are being driven, perhaps, to the end of yourself, and that is a mercy if it drives you to Christ.

Hear this and let it enter your very marrow: There is forgiveness. I know not how to say it more plainly. Where God draws no limit, do not you draw any. There is forgiveness for the drunkard as surely as for the liar and the thief. No sin of yours has outrun the crimson tide that flowed from the side of the Son of God. The very moment you cast yourself upon His finished work, your sins are forgiven you. It is not a matter of years, or of bitterness of grief, but of simple, childlike trust in the blood of Jesus. You say you are sorry. That sorrow is an echo of the Spirit, but do not let it lie fallow. It must bring you to the cross, where grief is turned into gratitude. Do not wait until you have mended your ways. Come just as you are, with the shaking and the thirst and the failure clinging to you, and Jesus Christ will receive you. His forgiveness is immediate, complete, eternal. He will not only pardon, but He will purify, cleansing the conscience from dead works and creating in you a new heart.

But I must also warn you, as David was made to feel the rod even after his pardon. The forgiveness of sin is no toy to be trifled with. Where it truly enters, there follows a turning from sin, a new estimate of its vileness. You will not be left to wallow in the same mire. Look not to the beer, nor the Jim Beam with Sprite, for your comfort, those are cruel masters that will mock you while they murder you. Look instead to Christ, who gives living water, and he who drinks of it shall never thirst again. Your wife, your children, your bosses, these are not your chief problem. Your sin against God is the root of the bitter fruit you taste. Make that right through Jesus, and you will have a new ground to stand upon in all your other relationships.

Consider this: the forgiveness you so desperately need is a forgiveness that humbles and yet ennobles. It does not leave you crawling as a beggar but lifts you up as a son. It will cost you the pride that clings to self-reliance, but it will give you a new power to work diligently at your projects, to love your wife patiently, and to face your day without the coward's crutch of alcohol. You say you cannot wait to get home. I say you cannot wait to get to Calvary in your heart. There the burden rolls away. There the chains fall off. Pray, then, not for the lottery, but for grace. Pray, "God be merciful to me a sinner," and go to your home not seeking the bottle but seeking the mercy seat. Cry out to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and He will answer. For there is forgiveness with Him, and plenteous redemption, and He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

[Chrysostom]

You ask for what God does not promise, and you approach Him with a divided heart. A life of ease, deliverance from daily labor, escape through strong drink, and the sudden wealth of a lottery ticket are not the gifts of the Spirit but the baits of the devil. The Lord gives a contrite and humbled heart, sober, self-possessed, full of repentance and compunction. That is the gift you desperately need, not the beer and whiskey you are already planning to pour down your throat. Your battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness; how can you fight that savage phalanx if you drug your mind into a stupor every evening? The shaking and the sweating are the body’s rebellion against a master that is not Christ. Do not hasten to silence them with another master; do not ask God to bless what you receive from the enemy.

Your tears are not yet repentance. You say you are sorry, but a heart that rushes home to the bottle has not yet cut out the root. Esau sought repentance with tears and found no place for a true change of mind, because his grief was worldly, not godly. Judas felt remorse and threw down the silver, yet he hanged himself in despair. Repentance is not merely feeling bad and then repeating the sin; it is the soul turning away from its idols and bringing forth fruits worthy of amendment. You hope your liver is not damaged, but what of your soul? You ask forgiveness while holding the glass. That is not the sorrow that renews. The laver of baptism once made you new, but you have grown old again through these sins. Repentance can restore strength, but only if you cut off the hand that pours the drink and the eye that lusts for ease.

Every conflict you named, with your wife, your bosses, your customers, springs from this root of earthly care and drunkenness. Hath a man stolen your peace? Hath your wife spoken mean words? The injury is small compared to the harm you do yourself by drowning your days in alcohol. If you would truly learn to despise the things of this life, then you would find peace even under a harsh word or a difficult project. Pray for a softened heart, not first in others, but in yourself. Ask God to make you sober and awake, able to bear the hours at work as a man standing nobly in the conflict, not a fugitive dreaming of the couch and the television. The righteous are often tried most severely just before deliverance, to make their crown brighter. Do not run from the trial; do not think winning the lottery would solve anything. It would only remove the outward goad, leaving your inward sickness festering unseen.

I do not tell you that you are beyond hope. God receives the truly penitent, but He calls you to a different way. This very day, refuse the Jim Beam. When you go home, do not lie on your bed reaching for a glass, but kneel and wage war against the desire. Sobriety is the beginning of a clear mind, and a clear mind can begin to pray as it ought. Ask not for an easier life, but for a purer heart. He will give you the grace to endure, and perhaps even to see those around you change, when they behold the miracle of your own deliverance. Do not wait; the door is open only to those who return now, not with a thief’s longing to steal a little comfort, but with a prodigal’s resolve to serve in the Father’s house as a sober and self-possessed man.
