For the hurting loved one

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Today we lift up all those that are hurt by a loved one's addiction. At times the pain of watching someone you love continue harming themselves through drugs/alcohol is almost too much to bear. Lord, give them strength. Please remind them that they are not helpless in this situation, though it may feel as if it is out of their control. They can help by praying for their loved one, because every circumstance is within Your control.  We bring our worries, concerns, anxieties, fears, and restless thoughts to you, oh Lord. Please provide a peace that can only come from You. We lift our addicted loved one up to you, Father. We know that you are a sovereign God. We thank you for watching over our every move. Help us to continue to pray for our loved one and to continue seeking you for guidance. It it is your Holy presence where we find comfort and reassurance. We know that in all things God works for the good of those that love Him. We love you, Lord Jesus!

In Jesus Name, 

Amen
