Rep Power: 1 | | Hi NannyChrissy, I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. It is not an easy road to love someone who has an addication. I'm a couselor for women in recovery and although each person's struggle is different, I would like to give you some advice. First people know that addiction is a disease. Alot of times the disease takes over the person's will, so that they feel they can't live without this drug. Second, please don't ever feel like you've done anything wrong. The individual who has the addiction has to decide to quit on their own, it is absolutely wonderful that you've loved and supported this person for so long. I'm sure your husband truly appreciate all of your love and support ever though he may not show or say this to you. I will keep you in my prayers. Also have you heard of al anon this is a support group for those who have addicts in their lives. I hope this has helped. Be blessed. |

Rep Power: 2 | | Hi, Friend. Have you ever seen the program called "INTERVENTION" on television. If you are able to watch it, do it. It will help you to understand that your husband is unable to free himself from addiction and that other people in his life who love him have to finally intervene before his life slips away. For any person to ever get to this point, they must have so much pain inside of them that needs to be addressed. They suffer from low self esteem, feelings of unworthiness, feelings of utter "aloneness", and disconnectedness...There are people all aound them, but they don't connect and for reasons known only to them and GOD, they feel the greatest disconnection from the ones that love them most. Your situation is already in GOD's hands and He is taking care of it in His own way and His own timing. Don't forget to love your husband as you did when you first met and to pray for the pain he is experiencing because of this addiction. We will continue to pray on behalf of you both and the family. GOD bless. |

Rep Power: 2 | | LORD Jesus, You came to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind. You have also promised to set at liberty those who are bruised. (Luke 4:18)
Help this husband to acknowledge that his drug addiction has made him a captive and has bruised him in many ways. Heal this husband of any root of hurt, rejection, bitterness, resentment, lack of love for others and self. It is not Your will LORD for this husband to be captive to any addiction and You desire to be LORD in every area of his life. We ask You to come in power and deliver this husband now as we pray.
Almighty GOD, any sin in this husband's life that has opened the door to this addiction, show it to him. If there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or judgement of others, any evil speaking, hatred of others or himself, any wrath, sinful anger, jealousy, or any other sins, reveal them to him now, and convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgement, that he will confess and repent so that You may deliver and heal him. Please, LORD Jesus, cleanse him from all sin and all unrighteousness by Your blood. (1 John 1:9)
Blessed Redeemer, bring Your healing love to this husband and wife's hearts and heal each wound and hurt. (Psalm 147:3)
Righteous Father, let this husband and wife, both, be buried with Christ in His death, that they both can walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:1-4)
In Christ they will be dead to sin and alive to GOD! Hallelujah! Therefore this husband will not let the sin of addiction reign in his mortal body nor will he obey the lusts of it. (Romans 6:11,12)
Abba Father, You resist the proud and give grace to the humble. Help this husband to humble himself before You now, as we come boldly to Your throne of grace. We ask for grace to help this husband in this time of need. (Hebrews 4:15,16)
Merciful Father, we ask You to intervene in this husband's life. Strengthen him and his wife by Yopur Spirit in their inner man. (Ephesians 3:16)
We ask as we pray Your Word, LORD, this husband receives Your healing touch that delivers him from the bondage of this addiction. This husband renounces it now, LORD. Hallelujah!
Because of Your great mercy it will not have any power over him any longer. Hallelujah! (Psalms 51:1)
You are LORD and we submit this husband's life totally to You! Glory to GOD!
Righteous Father, we thank You that the dark power of addiction over this husband is broken. You have transformed this husband out of the power of darkness into the kingdom of Your SON, our LORD, Jesus the Christ. Hallelujah!
LORD, we thank You that You never leave this husband and wife. We thank You for Your guiding presence and Your love. Thank You for pouring out Your Spirit upon this husband and for giving him total victory. Thank You, LORD, for setting him free to enter the glorious liberty of the sons of GOD. (Romans 8:21) Praise You LORD! Hallelujah!
Amen and Amen |
