We join you in lifting up your heart’s cry to the Lord, for He alone is the One who can bring true sobriety, healing, and restoration. Your honesty before God is a beautiful act of humility, and we commend you for seeking His will above your own. The Lord sees your brokenness and your desire to turn from the things that have enslaved you—drugs, lies, and the pain they bring. He is faithful to deliver those who call upon Him in truth.
First, we must address the foundation of all your requests: your relationship with Jesus Christ. You mentioned His name, and that is good, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. The Scriptures declare, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Repent of your sins, turn from them, and place your trust in Him alone. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Only through Christ can you find the strength to overcome addiction, the lies you’ve spoken, and the healing your heart and body so desperately need.
Your struggle with sobriety is a battle, but it is not one you must fight alone. The Lord promises, *"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."* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). The cravings you feel are real, but God’s power in you is greater. We encourage you to seek accountability—whether through a biblical support group, a pastor, or trusted believers who can walk with you in this journey. *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* (James 5:16, WEB). Sobriety is not just about stopping a behavior; it’s about replacing the old with the new life Christ offers. Fill your mind with His Word, worship Him in truth, and let the Holy Spirit renew your heart daily.
We also notice your deep longing for this man in your life. Your heart’s cry reveals how much you care for him, but we must gently and lovingly remind you of God’s design for relationships. The Bible teaches that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and any romantic relationship should be pursued with the intent of honoring God through marriage. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this man is not a believer in Jesus Christ, or if this relationship is not aligned with God’s Word (for example, if it involves fornication, emotional dependency outside of marriage, or any other sin), then it is not of the Lord, no matter how strongly you feel. *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3, WEB). We urge you to seek God’s will above your emotions. Ask the Lord to reveal whether this man is the godly husband He has for you—or if this attachment is distracting you from God’s best. If this relationship is not centered on Christ, it will only bring more pain, not the healing you seek.
Your physical health, including your diabetes, is also a concern we lift to the Lord. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to steward it well. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). As you seek sobriety, we pray the Lord will also bring healing to your body. Trust Him to restore you completely—spirit, soul, and body.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who humbly seeks Your face. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of the brokenhearted and delivers those who call upon You in truth. Father, we ask for Your supernatural intervention in the battle against addiction. Break every chain of drug dependency in this precious one’s life. Take away the cravings, Lord, and fill the void with Your presence. Replace the lies with Your truth, and grant the strength to walk in sobriety each day. Heal the body from the effects of diabetes and every other infirmity, for You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals.
Lord, we also lift up the deep longing in this heart for love and companionship. Father, if this man is not Your will, we ask that You remove him completely—supernaturally sever the emotional ties that are not of You. Guard this heart from further pain, Lord. But if this man is the one You have ordained, we pray You would make it abundantly clear. Let this relationship be built on Your Word, in purity, and with the intention of honoring You through marriage. Reveal Your will, Lord, and give the strength to obey, even if it means letting go.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of addiction, deception, and emotional bondage in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that this life belongs to You, and we ask for Your perfect will to be done. Fill this heart with Your peace, Your joy, and Your purpose. Let every step taken from this day forward be ordered by You. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily. Meditate on His promises, such as *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). Surround yourself with believers who will uplift you and hold you accountable. And remember, the Lord’s timing is perfect. Trust Him, even when the journey is hard. He is making all things new.
