We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your loved one is facing with addiction and mental instability. These are serious issues that require our utmost attention and prayer. Let us address this situation together, seeking God's will and intervention.
Firstly, it is essential to remember that God is our ultimate healer and comforter. As it says in Psalm 34:18 WEB, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We can trust that God is close to your loved one in their time of need.
Addiction is a form of bondage, and God desires to set us free from all forms of bondage. In John 8:36 WEB, Jesus says, "If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." We pray that your loved one finds freedom from addiction through the power of Jesus Christ.
Mental instability can be a complex issue, but we know that God can bring peace and stability to the mind and heart. In Isaiah 26:3 WEB, it is written, "You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you." We pray that your loved one's mind will be steadfast and filled with God's perfect peace.
In your prayer request, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is the name above all names and the only name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12: "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our loved one who is struggling with addiction and mental instability. We ask, Lord, that You would intervene in their life, breaking the chains of addiction and bringing peace and stability to their mind and heart.
We pray, Father, that they would come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself, revealing Your love and grace. We pray that they would find freedom and healing in the name of Jesus.
We also pray for the one who submitted this request, that You would fill them with Your peace and wisdom, guiding them in how to support their loved one. We ask that You would surround them with Your love and comfort during this challenging time.
We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
