Dear Lord, please help RubenJames in his quest to find a constant peace and joy in you instead of this momentary exuberation that drinking brings. Lord, I pray that you will bring to RubenJames a person who has been there, done that, and, by your power, come through, and can help him with what to do next. Please help RubenJames! In your name I pray, amen.

RubenJames, here are a few verses I hope may help you:

The Lord understands and wants to help.
Psalm 147:5
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

Drink is not all bad; wine, in moderation, can be healing.
Timothy 5:23
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.

The Lord has the ability - and desire - to renew our minds and bodies and he will do so! Amen!
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

It is not talking about the Lord; it's talking about Ruth and Boaz's son. But it is an echo of the Lord's promises to us.
Ruth 4:15(a)
He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.


Finally, RubenJames, I just wish you all the best and I will be praying for you. The Lord's power is amazing and has the strength to annul the hold of alcohol. Addictions are of the devil, while renewing and cleansing is of the Father. I pray now that He will help you in everything you do. God bless you, RubenJames.
