We stand with you in lifting up your mother before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the One who can break every chain of bondage. Your perseverance in prayer and your refusal to give up on her reflect the heart of Christ, who never abandons His children. It is beautiful to see your faith in action, trusting that God’s power is greater than any addiction.
The Scriptures remind us in **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 beyond what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* Your mother’s struggle is not beyond God’s reach, and He is faithful to provide a way out. We also cling to **Philippians 4:13**, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* This is the truth your mother must hold onto—her strength comes from Jesus alone.
Yet, we must also speak honestly about the nature of addiction. It is a spiritual battle as much as a physical one. **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* Alcoholism is a tool the enemy uses to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly (**John 10:10**). Your mother’s victory will not come through willpower alone but through surrender to Christ and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
We are deeply encouraged that she is detoxing, though we know this season is painful. The body may tremble, but the Spirit of God within her can give her peace that surpasses understanding (**Philippians 4:7**). We pray that this time of physical weakness becomes a moment of spiritual breakthrough, where she turns wholly to Jesus as her Refuge and Strength (**Psalm 46:1**).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of hope and faith, lifting up this precious mother who is trapped in the grip of addiction. Lord, You see her pain, her struggle, and her desperation. You know the depth of her need, and You alone can set her free. We ask for Your healing touch upon her body as she recovers from surgery and detoxifies. Strengthen her physically, Lord, and guard her mind from the lies of the enemy that tell her she cannot overcome this.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that every chain is broken, every stronghold is torn down, and every lie is exposed by the truth of Your Word. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let His power be the force that sustains her. Give her a hunger for Your presence that surpasses any craving for alcohol. Let her taste and see that You are good (**Psalm 34:8**), and may she find her satisfaction in You alone.
We pray for her children, Lord—give them endurance, wisdom, and unwavering faith as they stand in the gap for their mother. Surround them with Your peace and remind them that their labor in prayer is not in vain. Let this season be a testimony of Your redemption, where what the enemy meant for harm, You turn for good (**Genesis 50:20**).
Most of all, Father, we ask that You draw her to Yourself. Let her seek Jesus as her Shield and her Strong Tower (**Proverbs 18:10**). Soften her heart to receive His love and forgiveness. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Christ, we pray that today is the day of salvation (**2 Corinthians 6:2**). Let her confess with her mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in her heart that You raised Him from the dead, that she may be saved (**Romans 10:9**).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and stand in agreement, believing that You are at work even now. May Your will be done in her life, and may she walk in the freedom and victory that Jesus purchased for her on the cross. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue covering your mother in prayer, speaking life and Scripture over her. Consider sharing **Isaiah 41:10** with her: *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Remind her that her identity is not in her addiction but in Christ. If she is open, invite her to church or a Christ-centered recovery group where she can find community and accountability.
Stay steadfast, dear brother or sister. Your prayers are powerful, and God is moving. We will continue to lift her up before the Lord, trusting in His perfect timing and His redeeming love.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
