My ex-wife's alcoholism is getting bad again.

Today I had a long conversation with my step daughter. She said that a drunk boyfriend is making the homelife bad. This makes me nervous and uncertain for my son.

I have my son 65% of the time and recently had our custody agreement revised to include a sobriety clause. This will be the first time I've attempted to enforce the sobriety clause.

Please pray for safety for my son Nathan.

Please pray for my ex-wife Marianne - that she may find God and sobriety.

Please pray for me so I can stay strong. This chaos always has a negative effect on my work. Sometimes it can shut me down. The feeling is totally negative.

Please pray for God's will in this situation. I don't believe God causes people to become alcoholics. I believe that is the product of evil and human will.

James 1:17 (NLT)
Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights.

Father we ask for your hand in this situation and it'll be right in Jesus name. Touch his ex-wife's heart to repent and make you her Lord and redeemer in Jesus name. Use the things and people around her to change her heart.

We ask for your protection of his son as and that you grant him the grace and wisdom to stay strong and continue to trust these situations into your care, knowing that you will always come through in Jesus name.

Lord, I lift this family to You.
Lord, protect Nathan, in body mind and spirit. Guard this child, Lord, let him know Your love and security.
Lord, touch Marianne's heart. Show her her need of You, Lord. Let her see that she can't control her life, and draw her to you.
And please, Lord, fill Prodigal7 with Your peace that passes all understanding. Thank You for his faithfulness and love, Lord.
Strengthen him and refresh him, Lord, let him know You with him.
In the name of Jesus
Amen

:groupray: :crossrc: Amen.

And Lord I pray for complete protection for Nathan. Let our brother have more influence/time in his life. Give our brother Your mighty strength at this hard time in his life. I pray that his ex-wife will stop abusing alcohol and turn to You, for only from You can we have peace and freedom from any addiction. In the name of Jesus, amen.



I would consider using the sobriety clause, for now she needs to get herself together, before even having 35% custody.

Father I Stand In Agreement With This Person In Beloved Jesus Name .
AMEN

As it is written in Matthew 19 and 20...
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."​

Thank you for your prayers.

Please continue to pray for me. The chaos from this situation has spilled over into my new relationship. Chaos from active alcoholism spreads like a fungus. I really believe there is something dark about alcoholism. I am in recovery myself. The insanity of people looking you in the face and telling you a straight up lie is hard to take.

Please pray for me because today I am feeling beaten down and discouraged.

Thanks
