April 16, 2021 at 9:38 pmDear Friends – Please pray for my sweet beloved husband, who is dealing with depression and alcohol abuse, due to his losing his job about a year ago because of Covid restrictions. He feels very ashamed to be unemployed for this long and so he turns to alcohol to mask his shame instead of turning to God. He is a believer, but has lost his daily connection with Jesus. He drinks very, very heavily and I am worried about the physical burden the alcohol puts on his body. The more he drinks the more he stays inside and the more shame he feels – it’s a vicious and evil cycle. We live in NYC, and many of our friends have moved away to escape the pandemic and he misses them and this adds to his depression. The church in our neighborhood also closed (likely permanently) because of the restrictions early on. My husband found another church he likes but has to travel via train to get there, and sometimes he can’t make it in time because he drank too much the night before. Dear Jesus – please help my husband turn to you rather than alcohol in his time of need. Please help him to understand he lost his job through no fault of his own, but help him find the strength to keep looking for new work and new happiness in these tough times. Amen.

Father, we come against this spirit of hopelessness, and self pity that brings un happiness, and we rebuke it! We break (by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ), the hold of the enemy that is causing him to dwell on his own problems and troubles. We declare! that greater is He that is in him than he that is in the world. Father, help him to rise up! on the inside, and see him self as You see him. Lead him to the Rock, and to Your Word, the Holy Bible. Loving heavenly Father. Reveal to him his true identity in You. Let Your Spirit and, transforming Word, change the way he sees himself. Show him Lord God how the enemy works, to keep him trapped in the prison of his mind. Help him to realize that he needs to cast down every thought that assails his mind that is not of You Jesus. Every thought that attempts to exalt itself above the sovereign knowledge of God. Father, we pray that You do this transforming work in him. May he never be the same.
In Jesus name. Amen! 💓
