prayer for addicted loved one
 
Here is a prayer that a friend wrote for my AS. I post it with the thought that others here might want to make it their own.

Gracious God of power and love, you move the stars in the sky. With the power that is yours alone, move the heart and soul and mind of your precious child (name), that he may embrace healing and wholeness and move with you and your power and strength through the darkness into Light. May he find you and your love and forgiveness so great a Goodness that he will live in your light and love and be a blessing to all who know him. With gratitude and love for this child (name). Amen

Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons - but they are helpless against our prayers.

Sidlow Baxter

I found this in a book written by Ruth Bell Graham about prodigals ...
