Prayer request for my Brother
today | self

Posted on 11/20/2015 6:08:30 PM PST by Ouchthatonehurt

Please pray for my brother tonight as he checks himself into the hospital for alcohol abuse. He recently lost his job while at the same time celebrating the birth of his third child. He feels lost and inadequate.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a good place for him to start when he gets out.

All he has to do is go and listen. He will meet some mighty fine people there who understand what he has gone through.

Keep on coming back, it works.

Takes a real man to admit there’s a problem and check himself in. God bless him and his recovery. He needs the support of everyone around him now.

Thank you!
He’s been going to AA for a couple of weeks.
He’s my kid brother, he’s a former US Marine and a brave and honorable man. The big fall hard.
Prayers are appreciated.

Maybe the God of all creation comfort and bless him.

May he be led to read Jeremiah 29:11, " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not harm you, to give you a hope and a future."

My prayer that your brother set this along with the Serenity Prayer to memory; that your brother learn to lean totally on the Lord and to bow his knee as his first resort and not his last to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Prayers for your brother and family. This could be the best thing that ever happened to him. If he can go to AA, listen, rely on his Higher Power, and not drink one day at a time, he can become the person he was meant to be.
