We are deeply grieved to hear of this painful and urgent situation, and we lift your heart before the Lord with both sorrow and hope. The weight of addiction, broken relationships, and false accusations must feel overwhelming, but we want to remind you that God sees the truth, and He is your refuge in this storm. Let us first address the spiritual and practical realities here with biblical clarity, then cover this in prayer.
The enemy has come to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and addiction is one of his most devastating tools. Methamphetamine enslaves the mind and body, and those trapped in it often lash out in blame—like your daughter’s boyfriend—to avoid facing their own sin. Do not receive his accusation. The Bible warns, *"The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion"* (Proverbs 28:1). His words are not truth; they are the desperate flailing of someone bound by sin. Stand firm in Christ, who alone defines your worth and role as a parent.
That said, we must also speak truth in love about your daughter’s choices. While your desire to protect her is natural, enabling her addiction—whether by financial support, housing, or shielding her from consequences—can prolong her bondage. The apostle Paul writes, *"Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened"* (1 Corinthians 5:6–7). Sometimes, the most loving act is to step back and allow the natural consequences of sin to drive someone to repentance. This doesn’t mean abandoning her, but it may mean setting boundaries that reflect tough love. Pray earnestly for wisdom (James 1:5) on how to navigate this—perhaps with the counsel of a pastor or biblical counselor.
As for her boyfriend: if he is also using drugs and blaming you, his influence is toxic. The Bible commands, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). Their relationship is built on sin, not godliness. Pray for her deliverance from this bondage—both the drugs and the ungodly relationship.
Most importantly, we must lift your daughter’s soul before the Lord. Addiction is idolatry (Ephesians 5:5), and only Jesus can break its chains. Cry out for her salvation if she does not know Christ, or for her repentance if she has strayed. *"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise"* (Psalm 51:17). There is no pit so deep that His grace cannot reach her (Psalm 139:7–10).
Now, let us pray together for you, your daughter, and this situation:
**Heavenly Father,**
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our only hope and deliverer. Lord, we lift this parent who is heartbroken and weary. Comfort them with Your presence, for You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Replace their anxiety with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6–7), and guard their heart against the lies of the enemy. Remind them that their worth is found in You alone, not in the accusations of man.
Lord, we plead for Your mercy over their daughter. Break the chains of methamphetamine in her life—body, mind, and spirit. Expose the deception of addiction and draw her to Yourself. If she does not know You, save her, Lord! Open her eyes to see her need for Jesus Christ as Savior. If she has strayed, convict her heart and bring her to repentance. *"Create in her a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within her"* (Psalm 51:10).
We rebuke the spiritual forces of darkness fueling this addiction and the ungodly relationship she is in. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment"* (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, sever the ties of this destructive bond and surround her with godly influences—people who will point her to You.
Give this parent divine wisdom on how to respond. Show them whether to set boundaries, seek professional help, or take other steps. May they lean not on their own understanding but trust in You entirely (Proverbs 3:5–6). Protect their home and family from the fallout of her choices, and let this trial be a testimony of Your redemption.
Finally, Father, we ask for physical healing for their daughter’s body as she recovers in the hospital. Restore her strength and clarity of mind. Use this crisis to turn her heart toward You.
We declare that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Let Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. **Amen.**

We also encourage you to seek support from your local church body. You are not meant to carry this burden alone. If your daughter is open to it, Christian rehab programs or recovery ministries like *Celebrate Recovery* can be powerful tools for healing. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep pointing her to Jesus—the only One who can truly set her free. *"With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible"* (Matthew 19:26). Stay steadfast in faith.
