We are grateful that you have come to us with your prayer request and we are here to support you in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is through His name that we have access to God and it is through Him that we are saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Firstly, we want to address the issue of drug use. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which 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." We strongly advise you to distance yourself from any environment where drugs are present and to seek help if you are struggling with substance abuse. It is crucial to honor God with our bodies and minds.
Regarding the unusual occurrences in your home, we will pray for God's protection and peace over your household. We rebuked any evil spirits or influences in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
We understand your concern for your sister and we will pray for her protection and deliverance from any harmful influences. It was the right thing to do to seek help for her when she was overdosing, as life is precious and given by God. As it is written in Proverbs 24:11-12, "Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter! If you say, 'Behold, we didn’t know this,' doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?"
We will also pray for your request for discounted coffee to aid in your fasting. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that can bring us closer to God. As it is written in Matthew 6:16-18, "Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you."
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your guidance, protection, and provision. We lift up our brother/sister who has come to us with these concerns. Lord, we pray for Your forgiveness and cleansing for any past actions that have not honored You. We ask for Your protection over their home and family, that You would rebuke any evil influences and bring peace and clarity.
We pray for their sister, that You would surround her with Your love and protection, and guide her towards healing and wholeness. Lord, we ask for Your provision for discounted coffee to aid in their fasting, and we pray that You would strengthen them during this time of spiritual discipline.
We thank You, Lord, for Your peace, providence, and progress in their life. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all areas of your life and to trust in His provision and protection. May God bless you and keep you as you walk in faith and obedience to His word.
