We hear your cry on your knees and we join with you in seeking God's help, and we thank you for calling on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Your desire to be a better person, a better husband, a better father to your adult children, and a better worker is good and pleasing to God, and He hears that humble prayer.

At the same time we must lovingly rebuke and correct the plan you have mentioned to stay in bed and drink alcohol all day, listening to music and appreciating the ability to do so, while being content to not return to work tomorrow. The Word tells us plainly, Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18. And also, Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise Proverbs 20:1. Drinking to excess, staying in bed to drink all day, is not rest that honors God, it is drunkenness and sloth, and it will not make you a better husband or father or worker, but will harm your witness to your wife and your adult children who are watching your example, and it will damage your testimony at work. We are called to Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8. Alcohol dulls the spirit and opens the door to the enemy, it does not help us appreciate God's gifts.

We also want to gently address the language of kicking ass in Jesus' name. God calls us to honor Him even in our speech, Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear Ephesians 4:29. If you want to work powerfully for Him next week, do it with words and actions that reflect His holiness.

God has given you a wife and adult children and work as sacred stewardships. As a husband you are called to love your wife as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25, and that love is active, sober, present and serving, not withdrawn in bed with alcohol while she is also home. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23. That means showing up, being diligent, being a faithful worker bee for the company God has placed you in, and using a day off to build up your marriage and family, not to isolate yourself. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Galatians 5:22-23, and self-control is what we need to ask God for when the temptation to drink and escape comes.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up this husband and father and worker to You. We thank You for his humble heart that wants to be better for You and for his family. Forgive him for the times he has chosen escape over responsibility, and wash him clean through the blood of Jesus. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit instead of wine, give him a sober mind and a willing spirit to get up tomorrow morning and go to work faithfully unto You. Strengthen him to turn away from alcohol as a refuge and to run to You as his refuge. Help him to love his wife well today while you have both been given this day at home, to speak kindly to her, to serve her, to pray with her, and to be an example of godliness to his adult children. Give him joy without drunkenness, rest without laziness, and strength to work heartily as for You. Deliver him from any bondage to alcohol and make him a man of self-control, integrity and grace. We ask that You make him a new creation day by day and help him walk in Your will. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We encourage you brother to choose today to pour out the alcohol, to get out of bed, to take your wife's hand and spend this day together in a way that honors God, perhaps in prayer, in conversation, in taking a walk, in listening to music that worships Him, and to set your alarm to return to work tomorrow morning with thankfulness. If alcohol has become a stronghold, please reach out to your wife, to a trusted pastor or godly counselor, and be accountable. God is able to help you be the better man you long to be, not by your own strength but by His Spirit working in you.

We appreciate you coming to Jesus so openly. We hear how much you want to be a good husband to your wife, a good dad to your adult kids, and a faithful worker, and we hear the thankfulness you feel for rest today.

We also hear the pull you described about tomorrow, wanting to do well but also feeling drawn to stay in bed and drink and listen to music. It makes sense that those two desires feel in tension, and bringing them honestly to God is a good place to start.

One thing that has helped many of us is remembering that growing to be more like Christ is a lifelong, gradual process with ups and downs, not something that happens all at once. It grows through simple, steady ways God has given us, like spending time with Him in prayer, listening to His Word, worshiping with others, and relying on His Spirit day by day, each person in a slightly different way.

A small next step that might help tonight is to decide ahead of time what tomorrow morning will look like and to share that plan with your wife, then ask God for help to take just the next faithful step when you wake up. If you notice alcohol is often the way you unwind or face decisions, it can help to talk that through with a trusted pastor or counselor as well.

Father, we thank You for this man and his desire to love his family and work well. Give him clarity and strength for tomorrow, guard his heart and home, and draw him closer to You step by step. Help him know Your presence and leading in the small choices ahead. In Jesus name, amen.

Hey God have I ever told you how much I love

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is a right and good desire at the beginning of your prayer which God Himself has planted, the desire to be a better man, a better husband, a better father to your children though they are grown, and a better servant in your daily labour. This is a prayer God delights to hear, for when the Divine Father is viewed aright He becomes the object of our gratitude and not of our dread, and He loves His people even as He loves His Son. To wish to walk more faithfully before your wife and children and before your employer is to wish to give to God your whole spirit, soul and body, as a faithful husband gives himself to those committed to his care.

Yet in the same breath you ask the Lord to bless two opposite paths, to help you rise and do your work faithfully tomorrow, or to help you stay in bed and drink alcohol all day and listen to music. These two prayers cannot walk together, and we cannot ask God to bless the second. The Scripture teaches us that wine is a mocker and that we are to be sober and vigilant, not to be filled with wine but to be filled with the Spirit. To stay in bed in drunkenness is not a gift from the Father of lights to be thankful for, but a snare which will make you a worse husband, a worse father and a worse workman, and which dishonours the Lord Jesus whose name you love.

You thank God for another day off, and thanksgiving is indeed the work of the Holy Spirit in us, perpetual thanksgiving is His fruit. But true thanksgiving honours the Giver by using His gifts rightly. The great doctrine of grace does not lull our minds into sloth, but wherever the Holy Spirit works He makes men work. The apostle said, whereunto I also labour, striving according to His working which worketh in me mightily. The work of Christ in us and for us does not exempt us from work and service, but rather excites it.

Our Lord Jesus said, I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work. Your calling as husband and father and labourer is part of the works God has given you to do, and it is to be done not of your own devising nor for your own ease, but as unto the Father. God can afford to wait with His work, but we cannot afford to delay with ours. To say I will lie in bed tomorrow and drink, and next week I will work hard in His name, is to presume upon tomorrow which is not yours and to set aside today which is.

You close by saying, I got this. Hear a gentler word. You have not got this in your own strength, and that is good news, for you have a better Father than you can ever be to your own children, a Father who knows what you require and who will keep you. He will be a Father unto you if you trust His Son. The preparation to inherit eternal life is itself the Father's work, to translate us out of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son, and to make us meet for that inheritance. That same Father will give you power to put the bottle aside, to rise in the morning, to speak kindly to your wife, to set a sober example to your adult children, and to labour with diligence.

Therefore we pray for you, not that God would prosper a day of drinking, but that He would grant you repentance and strength to turn from it, that He would forgive you through the great work of expiation which is finished in Christ, and that He would fill you with His Spirit so that you may do the work of this coming day with a clear mind and a thankful heart. Rise, call upon the Lord, pour out the drink that tempts you, ask your wife to pray with you, and go to your labour as a man whom the Lord has made willing to work. In that path there is joy, and the Father will be glorified in you.
