I need Prayer

[WeBe1]

Lately I have been drinking, going to bars, & cursing allot. I feel as I am losing my relationship with God. The shame I have is great, even to the point of having deep fear and dread when going to church.

It's funny though, I have never been a drinker accept for rare occasions. I have been alone for 2 1/2 years (divorced) and I'm seeking comfort. I started going to the bar about 4 months ago and I have gotten addicted to Karaoke and hanging out with a group of people who enjoy my company.

Being a very sociable person, I fell into this snare head first, and now I feel as if it's ruining my spiritual walk & testimony. I'm at that point were I feel that I can't pray to God, because for me, it feels as if I am sinning by praying for anything more than forgiveness.

O Glorious Father, Thank You for the Grace and the Mercy You give to those that seek You. You are Faithful my God, to forgive those that cry out to You. Lord, let our dear brother find courage in You this day, let him be comforted not by these temptations, but in You. Father, give him a thirst for Your Word, let his spirit find the balm that only You can give. Bring life back into our brothers spirit my God, through Your Presence in his life. My Lord, lead him to Your Gracious Throne, where he will find rest.
In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If you have confessed, you are forgiven and purified!
God does not hold it against you - so forgive yourself, and let it go!

Lord, please let WeBe1 know the peace of Your forgiveness and love.
Hold him in Your arms and draw him close to You, Lord.
Renew his faith and love,
refresh and strengthen him by Your Spirit,
and guide him in Your plan for him.
in the name of Jesus
Amen

Thank you for your prayers, and scripture; it was encouraging.

It would probably be best if you stayed away from bars completely, so you aren't as tempted to do that stuff.

Father God, I thank You for the many opportunities we have to come to You in prayer. Lord, thank You for Your forgiveness! We cannot make it a single day without it, Lord. Thank You for all You went through so that we may have eternal life, and abundant life right now. Father, please help this one who is struggling. I pray that he just opens up and talks to You Lord. That is what sin does though, it separates us from You. But I thank You, Lord, that You are never gone! You are always with us and You will always love us no matter how badly we mess up. You are always welcoming us back with open arms also, just like the prodigal son. Thank You Lord for Your great mercy, and grace! And for Your unfailing, unconditional love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
