Please pray for my brother who is seriously addicted in alcohol badly after divo

[Anonymous]

Please pray for my brother as he is seriously addicted in alcohol. After he got divorced he is drinking alcohol so much. I know that he loves his ex wife so much that because of frustration he is drinking too much. But drinking alcohol won't give any solution. Please pray for him to stop drinking alcohol and should look after his children. My mom and I are so worried thinking about my brother future and his kids also. My brother he don't talk too much even if he feel bad or sad also he won't tell to anyone he will just keep it inside those words. In his life if there is any chance that my ex sis in law will come back let her come back. If God is not willing to let her come back in my brother life please show sign to us. Please pray for us that God show sign to us. So that we won't wait for her. We don't want to bad bite about my brother ex wife since she is also my nephew's and neice mother and also my brother children's mother that's why sometimes we missed her. And i extremely feel pity for my nephew's and neice even if i love them so much also i am their aunty. Aunty love and mother love is very different. I also wish that if she comes back than it will be nice for my brother and for his chidren.

We lift your brother before the Lord with heavy hearts, knowing the grip of addiction and the pain of broken relationships. The Word of God 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). Your brother is not alone in this struggle, and God is faithful to provide a way out, even when the path seems impossible to see.

We rebuke the spirit of addiction in your brother’s life in the name of Jesus Christ. Alcohol has no power over him except what he surrenders to it, and we declare that bondage broken by the blood of Christ. "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed" (Luke 4:18). Your brother’s heart is crushed, but Jesus came to set the captive free. We pray for his deliverance, not just from the drink, but from the bitterness, loneliness, and despair that drive him to it.

We also lift up his children, who are innocent in this and deserve a father who is present, sober, and loving. "Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). Your brother’s pain is real, but his children’s needs are urgent. We pray he would turn his heart toward them, seeking healing not just for himself but for their sake as well.

You ask for a sign regarding his ex-wife, whether she will return or if it is time to let go. We trust in the Lord’s perfect will, for "a man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps" (Proverbs 16:9). If reconciliation is God’s plan, He will make it clear. If not, He will give you all peace to move forward. We pray for wisdom for your family, that you would not cling to false hope or bitterness, but walk in faith. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We also gently address the pain in your words, your longing for your brother’s ex-wife to return, not out of malice, but out of love for your brother and his children. Yet we must remember that marriage is sacred, and divorce is a grievous wound. If she does not return, it is not your place to speak ill of her, but to pray for her as well. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32). Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin, but releasing the burden of anger to God.

Most of all, we pray that your brother would encounter the love of Christ in a real and transformative way. His silence and isolation are cries for help, and we ask God to break through his walls. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (Psalm 34:18). May he find a community of believers, a church, a men’s group, or a Christian counselor, who can walk with him in this battle. Addiction thrives in secrecy, but healing comes in the light.

We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and delivered:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother. You see his pain, his addiction, and the brokenness in his life. We ask for Your healing touch to break the chains of alcohol and restore his mind, body, and spirit. Lord, give him the strength to turn away from this sin and toward You. Soften his heart to seek help, to open up, and to fight for his children’s future. We pray for his ex-wife, that You would work in her life according to Your will, whether that be reconciliation or closure. Give this family wisdom, peace, and the faith to trust You in the unknown. Surround your brother with godly men who can speak truth and life into him. May he know that he is not alone, and that You are fighting for him. We declare victory over this addiction in Jesus’ name, for "if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). Comfort the children, strengthen the family, and let Your glory be seen in this situation. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to keep praying, keep loving your brother, and keep pointing him to Christ. This battle is not his alone, it is a spiritual war, and the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but mighty through God (2 Corinthians 10:4). Stand firm in faith, and trust that God is working even when you cannot see it.

It’s clear how much you love your brother, his children, and even your former sister‑in‑law. The weight you and your mom are carrying comes through, and we’re holding all of you up in prayer.

When someone turns to alcohol after a painful loss, it often starts as a way to numb what won’t let go. What began as coping has become a trap, and he likely feels just as powerless as you do. Because he tends to hold everything inside, he may not even know how to reach out. Simply being present with him, without demands or lectures, can be a lifeline. Let him know you’re praying for him, not just for him to stop drinking but for his whole heart to heal.

We would gently encourage you to nudge him toward help that goes beyond willpower. A Christian addiction counselor, a program like Celebrate Recovery, or even a trusted doctor can bring structure and resources that family love alone can’t always supply. Meanwhile, your steady, non‑anxious presence matters more than you may realize.

The question about your former sister‑in‑law is tangled in grief for what was lost. It’s natural to wish the family could be whole again. We can pray for God’s will to unfold clearly, but we also want to free you from the burden of waiting for a specific sign. Often God guides through open and closed doors, through circumstances and a growing peace, rather than a single dramatic moment. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. As you release that outcome to Him, you may find a quiet assurance that He is at work whether she returns or not.

Please don’t forget to care for your own heart and your mom’s. Carry this to Jesus together in prayer, and lean on wise friends or your church family.

Lord Jesus, we ask you to break the grip of alcohol on this brother. Bring him to the help he needs and to a fresh encounter with your love that soothes his deepest ache. Watch over his children; let them feel safe and known. Give this family wisdom and courage to walk alongside him without losing hope. Shine your light on the path ahead, and grant them peace as they trust you with every unknown. In your name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

You have watched your brother shut himself away inside a bottle, and you have seen what it costs him. You have watched the children wonder, and you have felt that peculiar ache of an aunt who loves them with everything in her and yet knows it is not the same. All of that watching and waiting and fearing is a heavy burden to carry, and you carry it because you love him.

That silent anguish of his, the words he will not speak, the sadness he stuffs down where nobody can reach it, that is its own deep water. When a man keeps everything locked inside, the enemy of souls finds an open door. The Evil One needs no invitation when sorrow has already pulled the latch. But I want you to notice something about your brother that tells me grace is not finished with him yet. You say he drinks because he is frustrated, because he loved her and lost her. That is not the hardness of a man who scoffs at love. That is a heart that is broken, and a broken heart is at least soft ground. The stone that will not feel anything at all is the dangerous one. A man who still hurts is a man who still has something to be reached. And you, dear child, are praying for him. That is no small thing.

Do you remember how Peter fell? He denied his Lord with oaths and curses, and yet what brought him back was not a scolding or a set of rules, it was a look from Christ. One look. The Lord did not thunder at him from the heavens; He simply turned and caught his eye, and Peter went out and wept bitterly. And not long after, that same broken man was preaching at Pentecost and three thousand souls were saved. God does not need your brother to speak perfectly; He only needs to turn His face toward him. So do not despise the small beginnings. Pray that Christ would catch your brother's eye. Pray that in the bottom of that bottle, in the lonely hours of the night, a memory of mercy would surface and pierce him through. That is the look that undoes a man in the right way.

I know something else is wound around your heart. You are waiting for a sign about whether your sister-in‑law will return. That waiting, too, is heavy. To long for restoration and yet to fear false hope, that wears on the soul. But let me offer you a gentle word. God's silence is not always a refusal; sometimes it is the hush before the command, "Peace, be still." Whether He restores that marriage or not, He is not indifferent to your tears. He sees you missing her, not with bitterness but with the plain ache of a family that remembers what once was. And He sees those children. He has not forgotten them.

But here is what I want you to hold fast: your brother's life does not hang upon whether that woman walks back through the door. It hangs upon whether Christ walks in. If the Lord is willing, let her come; if He is not, then He has something else in store. The mercy is not in the sign but in the Savior Himself. And here is comfort for you, when a soul begins to cry out, even in the faintest whisper, "Lord, have mercy," that is the surest token that mercy is already on the way. The very prayer you are praying is the first answer to that prayer. Your brother may not be speaking to you, but if God is stirring him to groan, even inwardly, that is the handle by which divine grace lifts a man.

So do not let the darkness of this hour convince you that nothing is happening. The Lord works strangely, often underground, often in the silence. The seed is splitting open in the soil long before the green shoot appears. Your mother's tears, your prayers, the children's unanswered questions, all of these are known to the God who bottles every tear and counts every sigh. And He has a sovereign "shall" that is mightier than all your brother's weakness. If He says, "I will restore," no addiction, no silence, no brokenness can stand against it.

I will leave you with this picture. You are all standing outside an ark, and the flood is coming. Your brother's sorrows, the children's loss, your mother's anxiety, these waters are rising. But the call goes out: "Come thou and all thy house into the ark." The door is not shut yet. Christ is that ark, and His invitation extends not just to the strong and the well-spoken but to the broken, the mute, the drowning. You cannot carry your brother in, but you can stand at the door and plead. And the Master of the vessel will not let the waves swallow up those for whom you cry.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus, You who looked upon Peter and broke his heart with love, look now upon this silent, suffering man. Where no human word can reach him, let Your eye find him. Melt the ice, break the rock, dissolve the adamant. Restore what the locust has eaten, whether that means the return of a wife or the coming of a better comfort. But above all, give him Yourself. And for this dear sister who carries so much, steady her heart. Teach her that she does not hold the outcome, but she holds Your hand. Make the children know they are not forgotten. And in Your own time, O faithful God, bring them all safely to the shore where sorrow and sighing flee away. Amen.

We want to thank you for trusting us with your heartfelt prayer request concerning your brother. It is our privilege to stand in agreement with you, lifting him up before our Heavenly Father. We have been praying earnestly for his deliverance from alcohol addiction, asking God to break the chains that have bound him in this difficult season following his divorce. We’ve asked the Lord to soften his heart, to help him release the pain he carries inside, and to open his eyes to the love and support surrounding him—especially the needs of his precious children.

We’ve also been praying for wisdom and clarity for you and your mother, asking God to give you both peace as you wait on Him. We’ve asked Him to reveal His will regarding your brother’s situation—whether it is His plan for reconciliation with his ex-wife or for a clear sign to move forward in a different direction. We know how deeply you care for your nieces and nephews, and we’ve lifted them up as well, asking God to surround them with His love, protection, and comfort, especially in the absence of their mother.

If God has already moved in your brother’s life—if he has taken steps toward sobriety, healing, or reconnecting with his children—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Please share it with us so we can rejoice together in God’s faithfulness. If, however, you are still waiting and feel the need for continued prayer, we encourage you to post this request again. We are committed to standing with you, lifting your brother, your family, and this situation before the Lord until His answers are made clear.

May God continue to strengthen you, comfort you, and draw your brother closer to Himself. May He fill your hearts with hope and your home with His peace as you trust in Him. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
