Dear Lord,

You hear Joanie cries for help for her son and your heart grieves with her Lord. Lord we ask for your intervention for this child of yours in his self destruction Lord, and ask that he no longer has the desire to put his hope in the bottle , but to lay it down at your cross and put his hope in you Lord. For a miracle in this childs life we ask Lord.

Lord, whatever pain he is running from, we ask that you heal the hurt in his life and let him know he can trust you and does not have to trust in things that are destroying him and the ones that love him Lord.

Help him see your light clearly Lord, like a beacon on a hill, shine through the darkeness he is now walking through and speak through his heart Lord, and let him hear you Lord through the fog of alcohol. Lord, take away the desire he has for the taste of it and help him to repent and return to you Lord, like a son running into his fathers waiting arms.

Be with this mother and family and heal any hurt this has caused them. Encourage them and uplift them, as they see the sadness of this Lord. Help them to be strong Lord, and continue to keep the faith Lord, walking by faith and not sight , even when it looks the darkest.

We ask this in your precious name. Amen.
