Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom that is found in the book of Proverbs. I pray that I may live my life soberly, discretely, and in the fear of God in all I say and do, both in my actions and my attitude. May all that I do be carried out for Your greater honour and glory, and may my life become a living testimony of a Christ-like life. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Source: Verse of the day for Proverbs 23:21Father, thank You for all those that are involved in helping others with their addiction to alcohol. We thank You for places like Alcoholic Anonymous and the many Christian ministries and rehab centres that are dedicated to helping men and women recover from this debilitating and distressing addiction, and showing them the love of the Lord Jesus.
Give wisdom, grace and patience to all that are serving in one capacity or another to relieve the distress and devastation that alcoholism leaves in it wake. We pray that You would give them the right words of encouragement and advice to enable those that are addicted to permanently break free of their alcoholism and so live a more meaningful and fruitful life.
We pray that You would not only rescue alcoholic men and women from the depths of despair to which many have fallen, but also that You would raise them up into a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring them into newness of life in Him, to His praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name,
Amen.
