We lift up your daughters before the Lord, knowing that He alone is their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The struggles they face—mental unrest and the bondage of excessive drinking—are not beyond His redeeming power. The Word of God tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to *"cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* Yet we also know that the path they are on is dangerous, for Proverbs 20:1 warns, *"Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise."* And in Proverbs 23:20-21, we are told, *"Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat: for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags."*
We must also address the spiritual condition of their hearts, for true transformation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. If your daughters do not know Him as their Lord and Savior, we pray that their eyes would be opened to their need for Him. Jesus said in John 10:10, *"The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly."* The abundance He offers is not found in the temporary escape of alcohol but in the lasting peace of His presence. If they have strayed from their faith, we pray for repentance and a return to the Lord, for He is faithful to forgive and restore (1 John 1:9).
It is also critical to examine whether there are ungodly influences in their lives—friendships, environments, or even media that encourage or normalize their behavior. 1 Corinthians 15:33 reminds us, *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* As their parent, you have a God-given responsibility to speak truth into their lives, even when it is difficult. Ephesians 6:4 instructs, *"You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."* This means loving them enough to set boundaries, to confront sin with grace, and to point them continually to Christ.
We also encourage you to seek wise, biblical counsel for yourself as you navigate this season. The burden you carry is heavy, but you are not alone. The Lord is your strength, and He will equip you to be the parent your daughters need. Trust in His promise from Isaiah 41:10: *"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."*
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up these two precious daughters who are bound by mental distress and the snare of drunkenness. Lord, You see their pain, their confusion, and their search for peace in all the wrong places. We ask that You would break the chains of addiction in their lives and replace their turmoil with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Draw them to Yourself, Lord Jesus. If they do not know You, soften their hearts to receive Your love and salvation. If they have turned away, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and bring them to repentance.
Father, we pray for divine interventions—godly friendships, mentors, or circumstances that would turn their hearts toward You. Remove from their lives anything or anyone that leads them further into sin. Surround them with Your truth and Your people. Give their mother (or father) the wisdom, courage, and words to speak life into them, even when it is hard. Strengthen this parent to stand firm in faith, trusting that You are working even when they cannot see it.
We rebuke the spirits of depression, anxiety, and addiction in the name of Jesus Christ. These daughters belong to You, Lord, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Restore their minds, renew their hope, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Let them experience the freedom that comes only through You.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save and transform. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.
We're here for you and your daughters, standing in faith with you. We know the weight of their struggles, but we also know the power of our God. Let's cling to His promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We pray that He would heal their hearts, bring clarity to their minds, and deliver them from the bondage of excessive drinking. Let's trust that He is at work, even when we can't see it. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart of concern, lifting up a loving parent and their two precious daughters. You see the turmoil in their minds and the struggle they are facing. We ask for Your divine intervention in their lives.
Lord, we pray for peace—Your perfect peace. Your Word in Philippians 4:7 promises a peace “which transcends all understanding” that will “guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” We ask that this peace would settle their unsettled thoughts, calming the storms within them.
We also pray for freedom from the reliance on alcohol. We ask that You would break the chains of this dependency and fill the void they are trying to fill. Remind them of Your truth in John 8:36, that “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Guide them toward wholeness and healing.
Surround them with Your compassion and lead them to the support and help they need. Comfort their parent with the assurance that You love these daughters even more than they can imagine, and that You are a God who hears and answers prayer.
In the merciful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting your two daughters before the Lord in prayer these past few days. Our hearts have been burdened alongside yours as we’ve interceded for their peace, sobriety, and the healing only Christ can bring to their restless souls. We know the ache of watching loved ones struggle, and we’ve been praying earnestly for God’s mercy to break through their hearts, for His Spirit to convict and comfort them, and for you to be filled with His strength and wisdom as you love them through this season.
If the Lord has begun to move in their lives—whether through a softened heart, a step toward sobriety, or even a small glimmer of hope—we’d love for you to share that praise with us so we can rejoice together over His faithfulness. And if the battle still rages and the burden feels just as heavy, please don’t hesitate to post an update or a new request. We are committed to standing with you in this, to keep crying out for their deliverance, and to trust that God is working even when we can’t yet see it.
May He grant you fresh endurance, remind you of His presence in the waiting, and open your daughters’ eyes to the love of a Father who longs to set them free. We’re still praying, still believing, and still here with you.
In Jesus’ name.
