Jesus Christ please help me

[Spaynor]

Dear God thank you for helping at work today. Today is my 2nd day of not drinking alcohol. I could not sleep well last night because of my AWS from only being sober for less than 24 hours. I hope that tonight will be better for me. I will stay sober for at least the next two weeks and I will loose at least 10 pounds in my belly because the alcohol that I have had so much over for 8-9 months has put on a lot of weight and I am so tired of gaining weight and being an alcoholic I have to change so that I can be a better husband and a better person and a better dad to our adult kid's and a better employee to my bosses and my coworkers and my coworkers and to celebrate your help and my lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please continue to help just one day at a time. Again please help me get a good night's sleep. Amen

We hear your cry for help and lift you up in prayer, standing with you in this battle against the chains of alcohol. Your desire to change and be a better husband, father, and employee is commendable, and we rejoice that you are turning to the Lord for strength. The Word tells us, "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). You are not alone in this struggle, and God is already making a way for you to overcome.

We must address the seriousness of alcohol addiction, for it is not merely a habit but a stronghold that can enslave the body, mind, and spirit. The Bible warns, "Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?" (Romans 6:16). Alcohol has likely become a master over you, but Christ came to set the captives free. His power is greater than any addiction, and His grace is sufficient for you in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Your commitment to sobriety, even for the next two weeks, is a step in the right direction, but we encourage you to seek lasting freedom through Christ. This battle is not just about abstaining from alcohol but about surrendering your life fully to Him. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). True transformation comes when we allow God to renew our minds and hearts.

We also want to gently address the physical consequences you’re facing. Gluttony and drunkenness are both warned against in Scripture, as they harm the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Your desire to lose weight and care for your health is good, but it must be rooted in honoring God with your body, not merely outward appearance. "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Now, let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother who is crying out for help. Lord, You see his struggle, his weariness, and his sincere desire to change. We ask that You would break the chains of addiction in his life by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen him in his weakness, Lord, and remind him that Your grace is sufficient for every moment of temptation. Give him the courage to resist the enemy’s lies and the discipline to walk in obedience to You.

Father, we pray for restful sleep tonight. Calm his mind and body, and let him wake up refreshed and renewed. Help him to fix his eyes on You, knowing that each day is a new opportunity to walk in victory. Surround him with godly support, people who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and pray for him. Heal his body from the effects of alcohol, and restore his health as he seeks to honor You.

Lord, we ask that You would draw him closer to You during this time. Let him experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding and Your love that casts out all fear. May he find his identity in Christ, not in his struggles, and may he walk in the freedom that You have already won for him on the cross.

We rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every stronghold in his life is being torn down by the power of Your Word. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let him walk in the newness of life that You have promised.

Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness to complete the good work You have begun in him. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

You are not fighting this battle alone. We encourage you to seek out a biblical, Christ-centered support group or counselor who can walk with you through this journey. Confess your struggles to trusted believers who can pray for you and hold you accountable. The enemy wants to isolate you, but God calls us to community. "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).

Remember, victory is not found in your own strength but in surrendering to Christ daily. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good. "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up" (Galatians 6:9). You are loved, you are valued, and God has a purpose for your life that goes far beyond this struggle. Keep pressing into Him.

Thank you for sharing this with us, and congratulations on your ### day. We know the early stretches of sobriety are heavy, especially when sleep won’t come. The restlessness your body feels right now is real, and we don’t want you walking through it alone.

One thing that often makes the difference in these early days is linking arms with others who truly understand the fight. If you haven’t already, consider connecting with a local Alcoholics Anonymous group or a church-based recovery program like Celebrate Recovery. There’s something uniquely steadying about having people you can call when the night feels long, people who have been right where you are and can talk you through it. And if the sleeplessness hangs on beyond these first few days, a visit to your doctor can help, withdrawal puts a real strain on the body, and getting medical support is a wise, courageous step, not a weakness.

Keep holding onto the “one day at a time” anchor you’ve already named. You don’t need to carry the ### weeks or the ### pounds on your shoulders all at once. Today is your only assignment right now, and today you are sober.

Lord Jesus, thank you for the courage already at work in this man. Settle his body and mind tonight. Let him find pockets of genuine rest, and when sleep is slow, be the quiet peace in the darkness beside him. Give him the practical help he needs, safe people to lean on, wisdom to pursue any medical support, and the grace to simply stay the course this one day. We ask this in your strong name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

The soul’s true profit is at stake in this struggle. That glittering cup which promised you ease has instead laid upon you a garment bedizened with gold, it dazzles with its splendor but oppresses the wearer with its weight. You have begun to feel that weight, and in God’s mercy you are casting it aside. Two days without that master is no small thing when the chains have been so tight. The sleeplessness, the aching, the restless tossing, these are the cries of a tyrant being driven from his throne. Let him go. What would it profit a man to gain a moment’s numbness but lose his own soul, his family’s honor, his very manhood? You are choosing the better part.

The Divine family is not marked by those who strut in health and boast of their own strength. No, the quickened ones, the true sons and daughters, are those who cry out in the night watches, clinging to the Father’s hand when their own resolve is dry dust. You speak of being a better husband and father, this is the right aspiration, for a man cannot lead his household to Zoar while he himself lingers in the streets of Sodom. Take hold of your wife and your grown children by the hand of prayer, and flee. The voice of mercy cries, “Escape for your life!” Do not look back to the winepress of death.

Do not despise the small beginning. You set your hope on two weeks, on ### of weight removed, on a night of true sleep. These are tokens of the larger work. But remember, the life of God grows. You need not mind being little these first days, we expect it to be so. But do not let it end there. Press on from this trembling start into the full stature of a man in Christ. The Spirit does not lead His own by dreams and visions only, but by the persistent, quiet work of enabling you to say “No” one day at a time. That “one day” is the very breath of your new life.

Sleep will come, not as the sodden stupor you once knew, but as the rest of the beloved. Cast yourself upon the promise, for the Father delights to give His children good gifts. Your body is a temple now, not a broken cistern. In the dark hours, when the craving gnaws, let prayer be your cry. Private prayer, family prayer, these are the ropes that haul a drowning man to the ark’s door. You are not alone; the whole family of grace, seen and unseen, fights alongside you. The burden of a public house is heavy when the family is large and the work is great, but Christ has purged our sins by Himself, a weight and force more than all your guilt. Let this one day tomorrow be your joy, for He is married unto you in your low estate, and He will not let your foot slip.
