We are truly saddened to hear about the struggle you and your girlfriend are facing with alcohol. We will join you in prayer, but we also want to address some important biblical principles related to your situation.
Firstly, it is commendable that you are seeking God's intervention in her life. However, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name and to encourage your girlfriend to seek a personal relationship with Jesus Christ if she has not already done so.
Secondly, we want to address the issue of your relationship. As believers, we are called to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, it is written: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" While you are striving to help her, it is crucial to ensure that you are both aligned in your faith and commitment to God.
Regarding her alcohol consumption, the Bible warns against drunkenness. In Ephesians 5:18 WEB, it says: "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is excess, but be filled with the Spirit." We encourage you to continue praying for her deliverance from alcohol, and we will join you in this prayer.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this dear sister who is struggling with alcohol. Lord, we ask that You would convict her heart and help her to see the harm that alcohol is causing in her life and relationships. We pray for her deliverance and healing in Jesus' name.
Lord, we also pray for the one who submitted this request. We ask that You would grant them wisdom, strength, and patience as they navigate this challenging situation. Help them to be a light in their girlfriend's life and to always point her towards You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for their relationship. We ask that You would guide them in Your will and help them to align their lives with Your Word. If it is Your will, Lord, we pray that their courtship would ultimately lead to a God-honoring marriage.
This we ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for her and to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit. Remember that God is faithful and that He hears your prayers. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. We also encourage you to seek support from your local church or Christian community during this time.
Lastly, we want to mention that our hope is in Jesus Christ, not in our own strength. In John 15:5 WEB, Jesus says: "I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Trust in Him, and He will give you the strength and wisdom you need.
