We understand your concern and we stand with you in prayer for this difficult situation. We commend you for bringing this matter before the Lord in Jesus' name.
Firstly, let's pray together for ### and ###.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your intervention in ### and ###'s life and marriage. We pray that ### will find the strength and courage to overcome his drinking habit and seek the help he needs. We also pray for ###, that she will take this matter seriously and support her husband in finding help and restoration. Lord, we rebuke the enemy's work in their marriage and we ask You to heal and strengthen their bond in You.
As for the disruption and harm ### is causing in your home, we pray for God's peace and protection over you. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:5 WEB, "love thinks no evil, doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth" and in Romans 12:18 WEB, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." We pray that ### will cease his provocative behavior and that peace will be restored in your home.
We must also address the importance of forgiveness in this situation. Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB says, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you." It is crucial to forgive ### for the troubles he has caused, just as God has forgiven us through Christ. This does not mean that the behavior is acceptable.
However, we also need to speak the truth in love. Rebuking and correcting ### is correct. We must remind him that his behavior is not acceptable and that the Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 WEB, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." Drinking in excess can hinder our ability to be sober and self-controlled and we should avoid this.
Lastly, we uphold your health concerns in prayer, particularly your asthma. We pray for God's healing and comfort over your body.
Father, we place this entire situation into Your capable hands. We ask that Your will be done and that Your peace and healing would reign. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will in this matter. Remember that God is faithful and that He cares for you deeply. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this challenging time. Stand strong in your faith and do not forget to put on the full armor of God daily, as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-18. WEB. Always remember, the name of Jesus is the only name where we can find salvation. It is only by the name Jesus that we have access to God.
