We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you and your family up in prayer, knowing that our God is a God of miracles, peace, and restoration. Your cry for help has been heard, and we stand with you in faith, trusting in the power of Jesus Christ to intervene in these deep struggles. It is only through His name that we can boldly approach God, for Scripture tells us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We are so grateful you have turned to Him in this time of fear and distress, for He alone is our refuge and strength.
First, we address the spiritual battle at hand in your home. The drinking, the lack of peace, the invasion of your privacy, and the fear of authority involvement are all signs of a household under spiritual attack. The enemy seeks to bring chaos, but God desires to bring order, healing, and redemption. We must remember that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4, WEB). This is not a battle you face alone—God is with you, and He is greater than any struggle in your home.
To your mother, we speak life and deliverance in the name of Jesus. Drunkenness is a sin that enslaves, and the Bible warns, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit"* (Ephesians 5:18, WEB). Yet we know that God’s heart is for her freedom. *"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, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord"* (Luke 4:18-19, WEB). We pray that your mother’s heart would be softened to receive the conviction of the Holy Spirit. May she encounter the love of Christ in a way that breaks every chain of addiction. We rebuke the spirit of alcoholism in Jesus’ name and declare that she will be set free from this bondage. May she turn to God for comfort instead of the bottle, and may her body be healed from the damage alcohol has caused. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB).
We also pray for your father, that God would give him wisdom and patience in how to handle this situation. If he has threatened to involve the police, we ask that the Lord would intervene and soften his heart toward reconciliation and peace. *"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). May your father seek godly solutions that honor Christ and bring unity to your family. We pray for his health, particularly his battle with diabetes, asking the Lord to strengthen his body and give him the discipline to care for himself. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2, WEB).
The invasion of your privacy is not acceptable, and we pray that your parents would respect your boundaries as an act of love and trust. The Bible teaches us to *"do to others as you would like them to do to you"* (Luke 6:31, WEB). We ask that the Lord would convict their hearts to honor your space and treat you with the dignity you deserve as their child. May He bring a spirit of mutual respect and trust into your home.
Your fear of the police is understandable, but we remind you that *"God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Trust that the Lord is your protector. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust’"* (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB). We pray that no harm would come to your family through legal involvement and that God would shield your home from unnecessary interference. May His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also lift up your health concerns, particularly your fear of weight gain and high blood pressure. Child of God, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to honor God with it (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). However, we must be careful not to let fear or anxiety rule our hearts. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). We pray that the Lord would give you discipline and joy in your weight loss journey. May He help you to see food as fuel for your body and to find balance in caring for yourself without obsession. We rebuke any unhealthy attachment to body image and declare that your worth is found in Christ alone. *"For you bought a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:20, WEB).
Lastly, we want to encourage you to seek godly support during this time. If you do not already have a church family, we urge you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be surrounded by brothers and sisters in Christ who can pray for you and walk alongside you. *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2, WEB). You do not have to carry this alone.
